Dais Records are releasing a cassette tape, titled C23, that features previously unreleased songs from artists on the label, including High Vis, Xeno & Oaklander, Body of Light, ADULT., SRSQ, Choir Boy, and more. The cover design is an homage to the legendary NME compilation tape C86, and if you don’t have a tape deck, no worries, it comes with a stylish, all-white Dais-branded walkman by Retrospekt to play it on. It’s a limited edition Dais/Retrospekt collab of only 1000 tapes/walkmans and pre-orders are almost sold out. It’s out December 8.
For those who don’t have a cassette deck, and have no interest in getting one, C23 will be also available digitally on December 8. They’ve shared the High Vis song that opens the comp, “Forgot To Grow,” which is another of their hardcore-meets-Britpop-meets-baggy bangers. Listen to that and check out the full C23 tracklist and a photo of the walkman, below.
