Beats with a past.
Tapehiss Studio is an independent production house run on tape machines, long nights and the belief that an instrumental should already feel like a record before anyone touches a mic.
The studio
One room, no shortcuts
It started with a secondhand tape machine and a habit of recording everything twice. A decade later the room is bigger but the method is the same: real instruments where they matter, synthesis where it counts, and drums mixed to leave space for a voice.
Every beat in the catalogue was composed, arranged and mixed in-house — never outsourced, never looped from the same public packs everyone else is using. When you lease from Tapehiss, you are buying records that only exist here.
How we work
Artists first, always
Contracts in plain language. Stems that actually line up. Replies within two working days. The unglamorous stuff is what makes a beat usable — so it gets the same care as the melody.
Independent artists are the core of the catalogue: fair lease terms, upgrades that credit what you already paid, and exclusives priced per project instead of per ego.
What we stand on
Three rules in the room
Original or nothing
Every melody is composed in-house. If a sound already exists somewhere else, it does not go in the beat.
Contracts you can read
One page, plain words, delivered with every order. You always know what your release covers.
Replies in days, not weeks
Custom work, mix notes, license questions — everything gets an answer within two working days.
Come make your record.
Lease a beat, commission something from scratch, or hand us your stems for a mix. The door is open.
