The Grayston Unity at 5pm is the place to be! Going to be bringing Flash Cassette to Halifax for the first time in 7 years 😮 and I can’t wait! If you’re in the area be sure to stop by one of West Yorkshire’s coolest spots first for some cool synth-pop and great drinks! 📸 by Bingley Camera Club⚡️📼

This Sunday I’m gonna be playing my first Halifax gig in 7 years as part of the unofficial Empire of the Sun pre-party. So before you go see Australia’s finest get down to The Grayston Unity for 5 o’clock for some tasty pints & slick electro-funk! Gonna be ace! ⚡️📼 #gigs #halifax

Flash Cassette will return to the live stage on Sunday 28th June at The Grayston Unity! This is a free entry gig kicking off at 5pm. So if you’re going to The Piece Hall that day to watch the mighty Empire of The Sun then you know where to head first! 📸 by Ren Conrad #electro #disco #ｓｙｎｔｈｗａｖｅ

Huge shouts to BBC Introducing for playing ‘Disco Regulator’ on this week’s Introducing in West & South Yorkshire show! Thanks for the kind words Christian Carlisle and to Utah Saints for selecting the track and always supporting the grassroots music scene! ⚡️📼 #electrofunk #yorkshire

If yesterday’s news wasn’t exciting enough I’m also throwing an album launch party at The Underground, Bradford on the 10th of October. Featuring support from the fantastic Tokomololo & Augustin Bousfield! Tickets on sale now! 🎫 www.undergroundbradford.co.uk/product/flas...

Hey there! Just thought I’d stop by on this scorching bank holiday to let people know that I’ve got a brand new album coming out in October! A solid 2 years in the making ‘Forgotten Frequency’ is an album that will take you on an intergalactic trip to the outer edges of electrofunk & synthwave! ⚡️📼

Something pretty special is going down this autumn! More news coming very soon… 📸 by Ren Conrad #savethedate #newmusic #electro #synthwave #funk

Streaming apps like Spotify are popular because more than listening, we like to be listened to. When you listen to a tape, it’s one sided. You are listening into the void. But Spotify listens back, tracking your taste, your location, your habits. It’s a music format that thinks we are special.

First time I’ve had folks dancing around a Maypole to Flash Cassette! Felt like being in a retro-futuristic Wicker Man. Sadly there aren’t any videos or pics of that but there is this close up of my hairy face. 📸 by Greg Brauns #Mayday #gigs #shipley #BradfordRoad

One of these records is one of the greatest dance music albums of all time. The other is ‘Homework’ by Daft Punk! Just kidding 😂 but if you enjoy Italo Disco & synthwave then you’ll definitely want ‘Night Waves’ in your collection! ⚡️📼 flashcassette.bandcamp.com/album/night-... #bandcampfriday

Really enjoyed bringing the sound of Flash Cassette to Jumbo Records as part of their Record Store Day celebration! Always a pleasure to share a stage with my good friend Augustin Bousfield who really brought it as he always does! 🙌🏽 Thanks Bradford Music Scene for the video! ⚡️📼 #gigs #RSD #synth

Ace to get a play on the FreakZone last night!!

@flashcassette.bsky.social on at jumbo records at the moment. I'm on at 4.15

Proper pumped to be playing Jumbo Records this Saturday as part of their Record Store Day celebration! Been visiting this place (including the old site in the St. John’s centre) for over 20 years and it still is one of the best record shops out there! My set starts at 3pm. ⚡️📼 #recordstoreday

Currently working on album number 5! 😬 Really excited for folks to hear the next chapter in Flash Cassette! Will have more info regarding release dates, gigs, listening parties soon. ⚡️📼 #newalbum #synth #disco #synthwave #funk

Social media would be a whole other universe if users could regularly experience sonder

Even when you are listening to music you don’t really like, in a few years’ time you could be listening to music you absolutely hate and thinking back “Gosh I wish I was listening to that music I only didn’t like. It was actually pretty good!” So make sure you make the most of every music moment.

Friday night’s gig was a bit ace! Really cool crowd as ever at The 1in12 Club. Huge shouts to Beep Beep ARGHH! for having me on support! I thoroughly enjoyed your industrial rave jams! This is a clip of a new track I’m working on taken from my set. ⚡️📼 #synth #electro #darkwave #newmusic

The only reason we have to put up with AI music is because Daft Punk and Kraftwerk normalized robot songs. If they’d dressed up as, I don’t know, snakes instead, we’d now be be dealing with snake music, which, to be fair, would probably be even worse for musicians.

2 days till Flash Cassette returns… Tickets still available for my 1 in 12 gig supporting Beep Beep ARGHH! and their tribal dancers! Gonna be an absolute barnstormer of a show! See you there ⚡️📼 20-03-2026 shorturl.at/XRzyC #gigs #neon #synth #retrowave #1in12
