The Home of Modern Cassette Counterculture
In a world where music disappears into endless scrolling, Chalkpit Cassette Club exists for the people who still want music they can hold — something real, physical, and full of soul.
We release limited-edition cassettes, champion new artists, build community, and run one of UK’s only cassette manufacturing and duplication studios.
This isn’t nostalgia. This is resistance. A rebellion against passive listening and disposable culture.
Welcome to the movement.
WHAT WE DO
Limited Edition Cassette Releases
We create small-batch, beautifully crafted cassette editions in collaboration with emerging artists, cult favourites, and global icons. Designed for collectors, music lovers, and anyone who still believes in holding what they love.
Chalkpit Exclusives & Collaborations
We partner with artists and labels to create unique, limited-run projects only available through Chalkpit. From special colourways to alternative art editions, these tapes celebrate creativity and the culture surrounding physical formats.
Next Wave Cassette Magazine
Our monthly discovery series pairs a curated mixtape of rising artists with a print mini-magazine. Now entering its fourth year, Next Wave has featured over 432 artists and built a growing community of listeners who discover new music the analogue way.
Cassette Players & Starter Kits
Whether you’re new to tapes or rebuilding your collection, we offer portable cassette players, listening kits, and accessories — everything you need to start enjoying music beyond the screen.
Chalkpit Cassette Manufacturing
One of the UK’s leading cassette production studios, offering high-quality duplication, UV-printed shells, bespoke packaging, and fulfilment. We support independent artists, labels, and creators in bringing their physical releases to life.
MEET THE FOUNDER — SILAS GREGORY
The one who sparked the cassette revival.
Chalkpit Cassette Club began with a moment Silas never expected.
During the Covid pandemic, he was handed his late grandfather’s cassette player and a box of the tapes he grew up with — a time capsule of memories, stories, and the music that shaped a life. Listening through that collection, something clicked. Something returned.
The spark. The ritual. The meaning.
For the first time in years, music felt physical again. Not just background noise on autoplay, but something you could hold, rewind, remember. Streaming had taken that away.
Spotify made music endless… but it made memories disappear.
Artists were releasing fewer physical formats. Collecting lost its joy. And yet, Silas knew music fans still craved connection and something real to tie songs to moments, friendships, and chapters of their lives.
So he started collecting tapes from his favourite artists, wanting to build a library of memories he could share, just like the one he inherited from his grandfather.
That spark became a mission:
To bring back physical music, not as nostalgia, but as a future-facing format.
To give emerging artists a new home.
To rebuild the community streaming forgot.
What began as a passion project quickly became:
A global cassette store
A manufacturing company supporting artists & labels worldwide
A monthly discovery magazine (Next Wave) spotlighting rising talent
A cultural movement dedicated to analogue connection
Silas didn’t just build a store — he rebuilt a global scene.
A home for artists, collectors, and anyone who still cares enough to hold the music they love.
Today, Chalkpit Cassette Club is pioneering what cassettes can mean now.
Not retro. Not ironic.
But a living archive of the future sounds of new music. Keeping cassette culture alive, one tape at a time.
