Menko Konings asks What’s The Story? from Amsterdam’s underground tape memory

Menko Konings’ What’s The Story? arrives on 8 June through Amsterdam’s TOP TAPE, and the label context already gives the release a nice underground charge. TOP TAPE’s own history reaches back to 1986, and that matters because this track feels connected to a world where electronic experimentation, minimal post-punk and DIY culture are not branding language but working methods. What’s The Story? sits inside The Phil Spencer Project (Vol. 1), a release that carries the slightly mysterious energy of a file found in a label archive and plugged into the present day. The track tags point toward DIY electronic, experimental, minimal, postpunk and underground Amsterdam, and that is exactly the territory where a small release can still feel culturally loaded. It is music for people who like edges, repetition, odd rooms and the stubborn survival of non-profit underground labels that never needed permission to exist.
