PetPetsTapes – la cassette, l’ami du baladeur sans frontière…

Another post dedicated to my other half, who inspires me daily.

Record digging (v.) – to pass hours of time, commonly in flea-markets and secondhand stores, in search for great vinyl records that have slipped under the radar. 

PetPetsTapes is a cassette tape digging project sharing these great music finds from across the globe. For the moment, it showcases digs from India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, Turkey & Tunisia.

This project has brought us many memories of stopping speeding tuk-tuks at passing secondhand bric-a-brac shops, wandering through cities, town and labyrinths in search of the elusive and seemingly ‘word-of-mouth’ flea-markets, haggling prices in foreign languages with gypsies, and often being blistered by the sun and drenched by the humidity. All so that the world (via the world wide web) can hear the sounds of these places before globalisation kills culture.
