About Basic Tape

Creating internationally-informed music with a French core, Basic Tape’s bootleg remixes of Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding and J-Lo maximised their visibility online, and their reputation was furthered through an official remix of Alesso’s ‘Heroes’. Sav and his Basic Tape partner Ben met on a sound engineering course in Paris five years ago. At the time, Ben was more interested in the intricate structures of progressive rock and he still utilises that background now by contributing live guitar to many of their productions, while local native Sav was enamoured by the club-meets-pop side of the dance music scene. Their music evolved at a rapid pace as it transitioned to the electronic pop that we hear today. Like many young French people, Basic Tape’s lives have been soundtracked by the creativity of Daft Punk, but they also cite Swedish House Mafia as an influence alongside the multi-genre mainstream mastermind Max Martin. Creating internationally-informed music with a French core, Basic Tape’s bootleg remixes of Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding and J-Lo maximised their visibility online, and their reputation was furthered through an official remix of Alesso’s ‘Heroes’; select shows as guests to Galantis, Madeon and Odesza; and at TheSoundYouNeed’s live events.
