KRINGLOOP KASSETTES LABEL REVIEW Part 2/2

KRINGLOOP KASSETTES LABEL REVIEW Part 2/2

These first words are just a small recap of what I wrote two weeks ago. In other words, the same message. Kringloop Kassettes is Frans de Waard’s latest project, and it’s already a success because, well… All hard copies of all releases so far are already sold out. They’re still digitally available, and I advise you to take a look on Bandcamp if (when) you feel the urge.

A bit about the background: Kringloop Kassettes is a limited edition cassette label. Everything in editions of 26, lettered from A to Z. As for now, there are six releases, of which I reviewed three two weeks ago and three this week. All cassettes originated from a thrift shop and have been reused as much as possible in their original form. So, stickers and labels are left intentionally to make it all look used. Kringloop is Dutch for Recycle and Loop in relation to cassettes; well, I’ll shut up.

The artwork is entirely in sync with the idea with the recycling idea. Recycled paper and the use of rubber stamps and as you can expect, not all releases do look the same. This is beautiful and something Frans has practised with more often about his Modelbau project. Let’s continue the journey.
