Discover the debut album “Tasti Box” from Tasti Box, a groundbreaking project operating in San Francisco during the early 1990s. Released on Collective Direction, this previously unreleased collection captures the vibrant spirit of the West Coast’s legendary free party scene, which thrived under the Golden Gate Bridge and on massive custom-built sound systems.

This historic album, crafted in the early ’90s but only now seeing official release, embodies the eclectic and innovative sound that defined that era — blending elements of deep house, deep tech, downtempo, breakbeat, experimental, and techno. With support from renowned DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Idjut Boys, Massimiliano Pagliara, Oyvind Morken, Toshiki Ohta, and many more, “Tasti Box” has garnered praise for its timeless appeal and emotional resonance.

The album opens with delicate, melodic ambient tracks “Mim” and “Quetzcal”, setting a tranquil tone before delving into the signature Tasti Box sound with the triptych of “Desire”, “U Can Fly”, and “Box” — a trippy journey through downtempo and breakbeat influences. The psychedelic “Feel It” and balearic “Story of O” showcase the experimental side, while the closing tracks “Joyful” and “Electrons” deliver melodic house vibes full of uplifting energy.

Included with the vinyl is a limited edition A4 artwork print and an exclusive interview with the artists, providing insight into their creative process and the stories behind their legendary sound. This release is a must-have for music collectors, historians, and those seeking authentic, evocative dance music from a pivotal moment in underground culture.
