Cassetteboy albums. 2008 concept album from the infamous cut-up sound terrorists.

Cassetteboy music CDs. Cassetteboy's Mick's Tape is an album created by cutting up audio clips with the rigorously bootlegged edit program Sound Forge. The clips sound like they've been pulled from thrift store records and BBC documentaries. The humor stays nicely juvenile and is consistent with the weeded hip-hop tracks that break up the comedy.

No record, radio clip, advertisement, or conversation is safe from a cut-up treatment.

It’s a winning formula.” Embraced by Sleaze Nation magazine, XFM’s James Hyman and the trendy “Hoxton” crowd, their underground mix CDs (“The Parker Tapes” and “Inside a Whale’s Cock”) and seven ...
