Leicester Sounds 103.2 by Greg GTi is the first release on BTL Tapes, a new sub-label launched by Leicester’s Grade 10 as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations in 2025, and its debut mixtape. A commemorative exploration of the city, originally made for radio, it merges field recordings, archival material and music into one hour that sets the sounds of present-day Leicester against echoes of its forgotten past.
Greg GTi gathers field recordings from around the city alongside long-lost archival recordings, giving a deep and unusual insight into Leicester’s rich and little-heard history. Among the found sounds are spoken word and news reports covering the Hot Dog Wars, the turf battles in the mobile catering trade that led to a notorious 1990 double homicide in Oadby, Leicestershire. A true time capsule of the city, originally created for a Back To Life Radio broadcast and now preserved on a limited run of cassette tapes.
