Two Pittsburgh labels join a resurgence of interest in the humble cassette

Vinyl isn’t the only format making a comeback. The ’80s birthed DIY “cassette culture” (Sub Pop and K Records began as humble tape labels) and, recently, cassettes have re-emerged. Early tapers once read zines like Sound Choice and Electronic Cottage. Now info comes from blogs like Foxy Digitalis, Anti-Gravity Bunny and Cassette Gods.

Pittsburgh contributes to the cassette trend with two entries: Greg Langel’s As Above So Below and Ryan Emmett’s Dynamo Sound Collective.
