Last November I had the pleasure of welcoming Nils Frahm into the Newtown Radio studio for my weekly show, MXD SGNLS. Frahm was in NYC promoting his LP, Spaces, and later played a set at Manhattan’s Le Poisson Rouge. At the time I was pretty unfamiliar with Frahm and his label, Erased Tapes. Since then, Erased Tapes has slowly inched its way more and more into my daily listening habits. The London-based label focuses on “avant-garde” musicians and releases.
You’re not necessarily going to find the sexiest names on this label, but will you find an excellent blend of classically trained musicians, in many cases those that integrate their style with more modern electronic styles. Take a listen to some of my favorite Erased Tapes tracks below.
And here’s video of Nils Frahm live, because you should really see what this dude’s like live.
