Combining some of the most exciting purveyors of glitchy sounds and hard hitting beats in East Asia with static drenched visuals seemed like the perfect stocking filler for a label that has so far dabbled in CDs, tapes, floppy disks, and dark matter (the last one might not be true). Yet despite the backdated format (which\u00a0comes packaged with a download code for all the\u00a0content)\u00a0this line up is no lame duck, featuring music videos from Goooooose, Last Boss, Loads Nothing, Fl\u00f8\u00f8\u00f8d, Noise Arcade, and GUIGUISUISUI from China, and TENGGER and Yamagata Tweakster from South Korea.

This VHS compilation is an extension of that, with the music of each of these electronic acts being paired with a music video of their choosing,\u00a0in a manner that harks back to early music videos from the likes of David Bowie and Devo. In a similar way to how audio cassettes can add a certain warmth\/charm\/shittiness to the work committed to them, VHS tapes give a certain aesthetic appeal that is often copied but never fully replicated.<\/p>\n<p>The compilation itself is dubbed over Chinese films and TV shows that are mostly pretty terrible, but give a unique twist as every copy of the compilation is taped over a different substandard feature, meaning no two copies are the same.\u00a0The cover\u00a0artwork\u00a0of the tape\u00a0was designed by Beijing based\u00a0American\u00a0visual artist Nick Sanders,\u00a0who has\u00a0shown work in numerous shows around the Chinese capital.<\/p>\n<p>Physical copies of the compilation will be available for sale at the December 21 release, with copies being smuggled internationally aboard pirate ships to far flung lands where people still own and use VHS players.<\/p>\n<h3>More info about the artists on the compilation?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"gmail-p4\"><span class=\"gmail-s7\">Goooooose: <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/gooooose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s8\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/gooooose<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"gmail-s7\">Lastboss: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastboss.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s8\">https:\/\/lastboss.bandcamp.com\/<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"gmail-s7\">Fl\u00f8\u00f8\u00f8d: <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/floood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s8\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/floood<\/span><\/a><span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><span class=\"gmail-s7\">GUIGUISUISUI: <a href=\"https:\/\/guiguisuisui.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s8\">https:\/\/guiguisuisui.com<\/span><\/a>\/<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"gmail-s9\">Noise Aracade: <a href=\"https:\/\/noisearcade.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s10\">https:\/\/noisearcade.bandcamp.com<\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"gmail-s11\">\/<\/span><span class=\"gmail-s9\"><span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><span class=\"gmail-s7\">TENGGER: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tenggerland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s8\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tenggerland\/<\/span><\/a><span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><span class=\"gmail-s7\">Yamagata Tweakster: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yamagatatweakster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"gmail-s8\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yamagatatweakster\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Nasty Wizard Recordings\u00a0are celebrating the glorious medium of the VHS tape with a compilation of electronic artists from China and South Korea.
