About us
Welcome to The Analog Rewind Cassette Collectors Collective. This group is for anyone who still appreciates the tactile experience of popping a tape into a deck, the distinct hiss of magnetic ribbon, and the hunt for that rare album or mixtape. Whether you have been collecting since the eighties or just picked up your first player at a thrift store last week, this is a space to share our finds, talk gear, and geek out over liner notes.
Our goal is to build a local community where we can trade tapes, help each other with deck repairs, and just enjoy the music. We meet up periodically to swap collections, discuss new releases from independent labels keeping the format alive, and talk about the nuances of different tape stocks. If you enjoy the ritual of physical media and want to connect with others who feel the same, come join us for a session.

Ottawa Rewind and Connect: Cassette Collectors
ottawa 1243, ottawa, ON, CAIf you have a stack of tapes gathering dust or a deck you still keep in regular rotation, come join us for an informal gathering of Ottawa cassette collectors. This is a chance to step away from screens, talk about our favorite finds, and share stories about the hunt for rare releases or local mixtapes. Whether you are a dedicated archivist or just someone who appreciates the warm sound of analog, this group is all about celebrating the format in a low-pressure environment.
We will be meeting to chat about our current listening habits, trade tips on gear maintenance, and perhaps swap a tape or two if you have spares to share. There is no specific agenda other than connecting with other people in the city who still value the tactile experience of physical media. It is a casual way to meet some local neighbors who share an interest in the quirks and charms of tape culture.
We would love to get a sense of who is coming so we can find a spot that fits everyone comfortably. If you have been looking for a reason to get out and talk shop with other collectors, please go ahead and RSVP so we can hold a seat for you.
