Welcome to Soiree Deluxe! You'll get in if you´re fancy, free and selected. Step into our Time Machine to experience new music in the style of the early and mid-20th century. Get down to the Luna Parks of your mind, and with a wave of The Magic Slapstick, be ready to draw your Love Gun. But be discrete, it might be the exclusive in Hush Hush Magazine the very next day!

TAPE FIVE co-invented the electro swing genre. But they do not play just one style, TAPE FIVE is a brand - a style in itself! The message is a light, positive vibe! Brought to you with elements of swing, electro swing, jazz, dixie, latin, funk, hip-hop, reggae, dub and tango. Everything combined with a strong retro attitude. You'll hear all the usual suspects in the skilled TAPE FIVE horn section, and singers Dionne Wudu, Henrik Wager, Brenda Boykin, Iain Mackenzie, Yuliet Topaz and Maria Maschenka appearing as “Marlene”. All combined with that special TAPE FIVE production style to serve you something to move to – and something to listen to. Beside some strong and up-tempo TAPE FIVE styled classics, be open for some experiments in sound: a swinging roots reggae against the babylon system, a funny tango with german lyrics, chilled vibes from the Topanga Valley or a message rap about this crazy, Crazy World!

This is the 6th studio album of the German based project, that started in 2003... and has since toured from Brazil via Europe to Russia and Korea, with songs selected for TV shows and ads around the globe. That’s the story, believe it... and step right into Soiree Deluxe... Welcome!

The Roaring 2020s“  is TAPE FIVE ́s seventh album. Sepia colored retro-modern screens- hots in music: a vintage car cruise with the instrumental „Duesenberg“, a driving dixie clarinet in „The Cats Pyjamas“. Who ́s that „Boheme Supreme“? A retro uptempo version of R&B hit „Happy“, the beat is waltzing through the hall with „Ballroom Troopers“… The gypsy swing ballad „Once upon a summernight“, and the old black corded phone: „Why don ́t you just call?“ A hommage to Brooklyns good old days „Saturday Night down on the corner“, or a rendezvous with the myste- rious beardy dame in „Lady Moustache“. This is the soundtrack of the roaring 2020s it all starts up with the song:  Party like it ́s 1929! https://electroswingthing.com/tape-five-the-roaring-2020s/

After international success with Tonight Josephine" Tape Five now steps forward with some 1940's inspired flavours!  Tape Five with his pacifist attitude has always been inspired by the Great  "Big Bands" from the 30's and 40's who entertained the troops with their unique, powerful and cleverly arranged swingin´sounds, put him right in the mood... For the Swing Patrol, the fourth album by songwriter/producer Martin Strathausen and his Orchestra, he recruited singers and musicians from ten different countries  from California to Cameron via Brazil, England, Italy, Ukraine, Romania and of course his home base in Germany. With alliances around the world Tape Five is stationed on hundreds of music compilations. An ever expanding, swinging Universe.... http://www.mightymusicmachine.com.au/browse/cd/1072

Tape Five is a multinational music project from Germany, founded in 2003 by songwriter/producer Martin Strathausen producing music in various styles like Swing, Electro Swing, Nujazz, Latin, Lounge, Dub, Trip Hop, Chill-out and Electro. While their first two albums contained Lounge, Nujazz, Swing and Latin, Tape Five took the influences of the electro-swing movement with their 3rd album,Tonight Josephine“ (2010). Tape Five co-operates with several record companies worldwide.

And the film goes on! Driving Electro-Swing action with 'Oscar feeling' conversations of clarinet and trumpet inspired by Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Josephine Baker and Benny Goodman. The 3rd album from TAPE FIVE 'Tonight Josephine!' is another Retro-Homage to various facets from the 20th Century bar-music. Stop Press! The first half of the album is deeply inspired by the Golden Twenties. High calibre and style, like a black-and-white classic film, but coloured and varied like today's block-busters. Four different vocalists - Brenda Boykin, Iain Mackenzie, Henrik Wagner and Yuliet Topaz interpret new songs in the old styles. ~ Editorial Reviews  http://www.amazon.com/Tonight-Josephine-Tape-Five/dp/B0032W7CQI
