We Are Rewind Getto Blaster CURTIS GB-001 With Bluetooth
Overview
The We Are Rewind Curtis GB-001 reimagines the classic Getto Blaster for modern listening. Inspired by the bold cassette boomboxes of the 1970s and 1980s, Curtis brings back the sense of scale, physical interaction, and shared listening that defined an era — updated with modern amplification, wireless connectivity, and rechargeable power.
At its core, Curtis is a cassette player and recorder designed to be used, not just admired. It supports both playback and stereo recording on Type I and Type II tapes, making it equally suited to rediscovering old collections or creating new mixtapes with your favourite tracks only. Physical controls and backlit VU meters keep the experience tactile and engaging, reinforcing the analogue-first approach.
Unlike compact personal cassette players, Curtis is built as a self-contained audio system. A four-speaker layout with dedicated Class-D amplification delivers room-filling sound with real impact, making it ideal for shared spaces and social listening. This is not a replacement for a traditional hi-fi system, nor is it tuned for clinical accuracy. Instead, it captures the bold, expressive character that made classic boomboxes so much fun.
Modern features are included where they genuinely add flexibility. Bluetooth allows wireless streaming from phones and tablets, while analogue and microphone inputs expand creative and social use. A user-replaceable rechargeable battery and carry handle make Curtis easy to move between rooms, creative spaces, and outdoor settings.
From a Groove Central perspective, the We Are Rewind Curtis GB-001 sits firmly in the portable audio and cassette boombox category rather than traditional hi-fi. It prioritises physical interaction, shared listening, and creative use over analytical accuracy or system-building flexibility. Curtis is best suited to listeners who enjoy cassette playback and recording, value hands-on controls and visual feedback, and want a bold, self-contained system that brings music into social and everyday spaces. At the same time, its modern connectivity and powerful built-in sound make it appealing to anyone looking for a contemporary take on the classic Getto Blaster experience — expressive, engaging, and designed to be enjoyed together.
