Doors open 7 PM, music starts at 8 PM.
In celebration of the cassette release of new cascades, the 2024 album from Portland-based producer Alvin Fenner (neat beats), TOKO TAPE is proud to present an evening of woodwinds and electronics. Fenner will be joined by local Seattle saxophonist Morgan O. and multi-instrumental sound artist sous chef. In addition to the music, Portland-based tea pop-up Apa Kabar will be serving a curated selection of loose-leaf teas.
Established in 2005 neat beats (Portland), combines the soundscapes of new age plunderphonics, field recordings, and 90s boom bap to create a soundtrack to your weirdest dreams. His independently released debut album, Cosmic Surgery, released in 2011, gained unexpected notoriety and a cult following in the experimental beat scene, establishing a unique sound, subsequently built on by Sleep Cycles and new cascades.
Morgan O. is a saxophonist from Seattle. Her music weaves electronic textures, drones, and waves of sound with saxophone melodies that emerge out of a practice of improvisation, deep listening, and collaboration with performance artists, dancers, and visual artists.
A culinary master of audio food, sous chef is always cookin’ up new recipes. He sleeps & works out of La Cuisine, the studio he built just south of Seattle, performing locally, producing, composing & exploring new flavors, courses & musical meals to delight your eardrums. From ambient to epic, electronic to acoustic, his latest forays have led him down paths of site-specificity, traveling around the world, combining ancient & cutting edge sounds, with an ever-growing list of collaborators. He’s also a founding member of the band sunking & high pulp.
TOKO TAPE is a tape label based out of Portland started by DJ & producer Joshua Limanjaya. The label believes in the importance of physical media and distributes its music exclusively through the release of limited edition cassette tapes (with digital files on Bandcamp available to own only through the purchase of a tape). Since its start in December of 2025, the label has put out a diverse catalog of sounds that range from ambient, shoegaze, instrumental hip-hop, and more. Beyond just putting out music, TOKO TAPE aims to archive and preserve the sounds of a region, the artists that shape their local culture, and the moments in time that bring these things together.
