In an exploration of the vibrant underground music scene, Vermont’s own Nick Dentico and his label, Histamine Tapes, exemplify a unique blend of artistic passion and environmental consciousness. Founded in 2017, Histamine Tapes champions genre-defying sounds created by artists who share a commitment to sustainability. Dentico’s approach—recycling old cassettes and crafting distinctive, handmade covers—highlights the label’s DIY ethos and dedication to individuality in each release. Operating from Vermont has not only influenced the label’s aesthetic but has also fostered collaborations with local talent, encapsulating a spirit of community. This commitment to creativity and sustainability resonates with the broader movement within cassette culture, where the medium is embraced for its accessibility and personal touch. As Dentico puts it, cassettes “bring a democratic feel to making music and releasing music,” a sentiment that reflects the essence of Histamine Tapes and the thriving independent label landscape.
