If you’re looking for the ultimate in retro audio tech, We Are Rewind has just the gadget for you. The retro-tech firm has teamed with electro-funk duo Chromeo for a very special edition of its cult cassette player, swapping the normal matte colours for perfectly polished chrome.
It couldn’t be more 80s if it came wearing leg warmers.
Beneath the chrome, the player itself is the standard We Are Rewind tape deck, but the special edition also comes with a limited edition cassette of Chromeo’s new albumAdult Contemporary. It includes two exclusive bonus tracks, too.
According to We Are Rewind CEO Romain Boudruche: “Chromeo has such a distinct sound and style, so the pressure was on to design a cassette player that captured that.
“The shiny chrome cassette player is a truly unique music player that’s bound to turn heads and bring back the funk.”
Brand new retro: We Are Rewind’s modern take on the tape deck
This isn’t the first time We Are Rewind has appeared on our radar. The firm’s portable players were one of the more fun things atCESlast week, and if the chrome doesn’t appeal, the standard models are pretty impressive too.
We Are Rewind’s cassette players are made with an aluminium outer and have Bluetooth as well as the traditional 3.5mm headphone plug. And, instead of a bunch of bulky AA batteries, they’re fitted with an internal, rechargeable Lithium-ion alternative that delivers a promised 12 hours of playback.

No tape deck can compete with the sound quality of ahigh-res audio player, of course, but they’re not supposed to. The goal is to deliver something more nostalgic (or faux-nostalgic, if you were too young to experience music on tape the first time around), and that’s proved to be popular.
Pricing for the limited edition Chromeo edition hasn’t been announced yet, but it’ll go on sale later this month. Thenormal editions are £136 / $169 / AU$281and you can choose between a very Walkman-esque black and yellow or orange, blue or grey options.
