Mix Tapes

Since being a tiny tacker, I have always been surrounded by Music in its consumer form.

From being schooled by my older family members on what was – the goods, to my amazing Mother always including the latest “Various Artists” Pop compilation of the day as part of my birthday present each year. Then I started washing neighbors cars to go buy Records and Tapes myself.

Buying LP’s from the local electrical repair store was always a big deal.

Then it was buying 7 and 12 inch singles from the nearest Record Bar because, they had versions on them that were never played on the radio like; instrumentals, remixes and extended mixes, which, I always thought they were way better!

I remember my oldest cousin having the first double tape deck “boom box” I ever saw. It was a big old chunky, silver Panasonic beast.

That day, I learned how we could copy whole or parts of other tapes; enter my extremely rudimentary introduction to “Mixtapes” and the art of “Sampling”.

Still to this day, we call a digital file – a Mixtape… Even when the “Tape” part is no longer present? So it’s kinda stuck as a term. But the funny thing is now… Even if you want to… You can’t buy a blank tape at a local store anymore.

So, here are some digital Mixtapes made by me, for your listening consideration – Disclaimer; Not For Sale. For Promo Use only
