Details for the second annual Cassette Store Day have been revealed for later this year.

2013 saw the launch of the initiative which aims to mirror the huge success of Record Store Day in revitalising the vinyl market by inviting labels to arrange special, cassette format releases on Saturday, September 27th.

This year the event will be split between the US and UK/EU, with Kissability and Suplex Cassettes again handling things in Europe, and the Los Angeles based Burger Records coming on board for the States.

“When planning this year we really tried to keep cassette labels and fans at the heart of the event,” Jen Long of Kissability says. “Last year grew far bigger than we had expected so we are thrilled to have Burger involved to help us cover the US side.”

“Burger Records loves tapes,” the US label adds. “We’ve built our foundation on the forgotten format and have been preaching the merits of warm analog cassette culture for years. We’re honored to be ambassadors of Cassette Store Day 2014 in the good ol USA!”

“We plan to bring some of our favorite labels to the table and invite everyone to the party and partake in the fun phenomena of releasing top shelf music on cassette tapes in pop culture today!”
