Basic Tape vs. Frances – No Matter
Basic Tape is a French duo, going by the names of Sav and Ben (although I’m pretty sure they have last names as well). They took the track No Matter off Frances’ album Things I’ve Never Said, speeded it up a little and surrounded it with electronica to come up with something really cool and fresh. It entered the EBBChart at #100 last week and seems to be destined for more.
