Dogsbody / ProV1der - Dealers out now

9 June 2025

Good afternoon folks,

Dealers, the split album by Dogsbody & ProV1der, both monikers of artist Jackson Sitter, is out on tape and Bandcamp today. Check it out by clicking on the image below!

This album took a while for me to publish, but I'm very happy it is finally out for everyone to listen to, I've been enjoying listening to it while I put them together so it's good for it to finally be out now! Find it at Blackbyrd Muisc and Listen Records in the next week locally or if you are outside of the city place an order on the bandcamp!

Stay tuned for more tapes coming out this summer. The next two will likely come out at the same time and they will be big ones!

Announcing next tapes; El Bonnie Doom; Taste of Edmonton #2; Interview

13 May 2025

Good morning folks,

Things here have been a little quiet again, but that does not cease the development of new tapes, and there are plenty to go through!

This summer will see a handful of new cassettes that I am very excited to release.

First will be the split album by Dogsbody/ProV1der - Dealers, click the below picture to learn more about the album!

The next two after that will need another minute in the oven to polish everything up, but they are two that I am very, very excited about and have collaborated with some great artists to make a reality, keep a close eye!

The fourth will be b.z.g. - unmoved furniture 22-24, a collection of recordings from Bruno (Low Earth Orbit), click the photo below for more info!

Fifth up is RISLING's 4 Trap Bangers, an EP originally released on soundcloud, now on tape with bonus tracks! Check below for more info!

Sixth and finally for now, we have DJ [REDACTED] - SPLATTER SPREE split with Faculty - Restraint System. An insane combination that I think sounds really good. Keep an eye out for it!

El Bonnie Doom

Just yesterday, our label regular RISLING released a collaboration album with Cairo-based rapper Goubi called El Bonnie Doom. Make sure to give this a listen on streaming right now! Up to you to guess if this will be on tapes too :)

Taste of Edmonton #2

Submissions for Taste of Edmonton #2 have been closed for a while now. I haven't had the time I desired to select all the songs for submissions yet, but if you submitted, expect in the next few weeks to recieve an email about your song! What I have heard so far has me really excited about the songs for this compilation. Stay up to date on that for news!

Interview

I had the opportunity to do an interview yesterday about what I do here at Slacker Tape Group, answering some questions relating to what it is like running a small record label, what I do and so on and so forth. Check it out on youtube in the link below. Thanks to Moustafa for the interview!

This is a lot but I'm excited about the future of what I am doing right now, so there will be a bustle of activity here in the next few weeks I think. Thanks everyone!

RISLING! - KLEINKRIEG streaming release + Taste of Edmonton #2 Deadline extension

10 January 2025

Good Morning folks,

First things first, RISLING's new album "KLEINKRIEG" has just released on streaming this morning. It's a fantastic album that will eventually be getting a physical release in the future here on Slacker Tapes. For now, go give it a listen on streaming!

You'll probably have noticed Slacker hasn't done much these last days few days here. Truth is that life is BUSY and this can only get so much attention, but I really do love doing all the tape label stuff.

Though as a result the schedules have been shuffled around quite a bit and Taste of Edmonton #2 will be getting done later than anticipated.

The good news is that I will be extending the deadline for submissions until March 1st 2025!!

I've really enjoyed the submissions I've gotten so far, the local music scene here is so cool and good, I'll be reaching out to each submission soon to let you know!

If you are at all considering on submitting, take this as your call to action to send in your music!! All guidelines remain the same and are on the website still.

That's it for now, thanks for the patience everyone.
