Located in The Netherlands’ Zeeuwsch Vlaanderen region, Danny Bosten originally operated Tear Apart Tapes between 1980 and 1985. In the 2010s, the cult artist, better known as Das Ding, revived the imprint, releasing new music as well as reissuing older material.

In addition to cassettes, some of Tear Apart Tape’s newer releases arrived in the form of 7-inches. This 7" "Dream Decay" contains two tracks, "Dream Decay" and "16 (New Mix)". Released on Tear Apart Tapes in 2016.

"Our pick from the release is "Dream Decay", one of Das Ding’s later productions. Lean and loopy, it sounds like a snapshot trance in its early years. It remains a fine example of Bosten’s frugal approach to building affective music."
