Hiss Tapes
Hiss Tapes is a 2011 by Jani Rintala (ThaJain) founded Finnish label from Alajärvi, that is specialized in hip hop.The label concentrates on the release of music tapes and puts his focus on the hip hop of the 1990s and early 2000s, especially on artists of the Californian Bay Area. Consequently, the start makes the rapper and poet Neila. It was a mix of her tracks, that Jani Rintals did find in his tape collection. The release of this first tape has been a solidarity action, that should support the artist and whose revenues went entirely to Neyla. Until now Hiss Tapes remained true to the DIY principle. The revenue is always divided fifty-fifty. Jani Rintala just releases what he would like to hear on tape and just artists he like. Moreover, Hiss Records is a contribution to maintain the small but nice scene of hip hop lovers in Finland.
