Cassettes Won’t Listen

Though sometimes listed being a four-member band (using the made-up Kid Lucci in vocals, Jeh Walker in bass, Drehke in keys and programming, and Doc Torchaos in drums), Cassettes Won’t Listen is in most cases the one-man project of multi-instrumentalist and producer Jason Drake, the director of marketing at underground hip-hop powerhouse Def Jux and co-founder of Dope Lotus Records. His debut EP, the digital-only electronica-influenced indie rock and roll Nobody’s Moving, premiered in 2005, and was implemented soon after by Calm Trial and a talk about in the 2007 model of Urb Magazine’s Following 100. Cassettes Won’t Pay attention also do remixes for performers like Dr. Octagon, Midlake, Mr. Lif, and Morcheeba, nonetheless it wasn’t until 2008 that his — at this time the music group was completely Drake — initial physical EP, Small-Time Machine arrived.
