CP-81 Portable Cassette Player and C23 Compilation Dais x Retrospekt

The legacy and lineage of Dais Records dovetails naturally with the mission statement of vintage electronics innovator Retrospekt: “Reviving retro tech for a new generation.” The fruit of their first collaboration is a chic, white, rose-adorned, limited-edition release of Retrospekt’s CP-81 portable cassette player containing an exclusive 19-track compilation cassette of unreleased material from the label's roster: C23. The title alludes to the year, the catalog number (DAIS223) and to the iconic UK indie collection C86, famously included with a 1986 issue of New Musical Express.

The cassette compilation features 19 exclusive, previously unreleased tracks. Highlights include new music from High Vis, a rare remix from Detroit Techno originator Kevin Saunderson (Inner City); archival tracks by ADULT. (2003) and Tor Lundvall (1999 ); demos from Choir Boy (2019) , Xeno and Oaklander (2022) and Body Of Light (2021) etc.
