    Minimal Wave is proud to present an album of long lost tracks by Dutch electronic music pioneer Das Ding, entitled “Missing Tapes”.

    Danny Bosten formed Das Ding as a solo project in the early 1980s and released his music and friends music via his own cassette label called Tear Apart Tapes. At the time, he was studying graphic design at art school, and in turn, he ended up designing the artwork, cassette-sleeves, and illustrations for the label himself. Meanwhile, he recorded his own music as Das Ding. Powerful dark electro, he made several addictive and danceable tracks that later become Minimal Wave hits. Danny made all his music in his bedroom which eventually became a small recording studio. He went on to release many of his own tapes and also played some live gigs.

    Old tapes were uncovered around 2010, and Minimal Wave released a remastered version of “H.S.T.A.” and select other tracks. A wave of renewed interest followed the record’s release and soon people were in touch to propose live shows. Twenty years later, and after some deliberation, Das Ding was reincarnated under its old moniker but now with a revised line-up and a working set-up that reflected the inevitable technological change.

    Recently, Danny came across further tape archives from those early days. And from the batch, we selected our favorites to present to you in vinyl release form. “Missing Tapes” is a limited edition LP pressed on 180-gram creamy yellow vinyl, and housed in a heavy-weight printed glossy black and white sleeve featuring one of Danny’s original illustrations from 1982.
