  • Cassetteboy is the stage name of Steve Warlin and Michael Bollen (an author from Brighton). It was only upon the confirmation of their third album's release date in 2008 that they came forward and made their identities known. Their initial appearance was on the Di and Dodi Do Die 7" Record released in 2000 on the record label Barry's Bootlegs which is somehow related to the electronic music label Spymania. As well as producing two albums of their own, they have appeared on an album with DJ Rubbish entitled Inside A Whale's Cock Vol 1, which includes humorous cover versions of songs by Alanis Morissette and Jennifer Lopez (a skiffle cover of 'Jenny from the block'), along with a parodical take on a song by The Streets. Their musical approach can be traced from the origins of sampling, musique concrète and the modern approach sometimes called plunderphonics. Most pieces are painstakingly constructed from thousands of audio snippets taken from TV, radio, film and popular music; The Parker Tapes was constructed using the laborious, primitive process of manually splicing segments of audio together via a two-deck tape system, or "ghettoblaster"; later albums are constructed digitally using sound editing software. Their newest album entitled "Carry On Breathing" has been described as "a concept album, but don't worry, it still has knob gags". The concept of this album is that it loosely follows the human life from birth to death, through work, childhood, growing up and depression. This album showcases the most philosophical of their work to date ("The only cure for existence is death") while still being humorous. The context of their work is often political, but always maintains a humorous aspect.
