21st century mixtapes

Welcome to mix_tape! It's a place for music mixes and playlists. I grew up in the 80s so I remember painstakingly creating cassette tapes so that we could introduce our friends to our favourite music. The internet and digital music make this much easier! I created this community as a place on DW for people to share mixes and create collaborative playlists.

The following types of posts are welcome here:

• Playlists you have created. For copyright reasons I recommend not uploading the actual music or linking to downloadable files. If you have access to Spotify, you can create a public playlist on that and link to it, allowing everybody to listen to your selection. If not, I suggest just making a list of song titles. Be as simple (just a list of songs) or as elaborate (full liner notes, album covers, whatever you can imagine!) as you like.
• Mix challenges. Suggest a theme and members can come up with tracks that match the theme.
• Playlist prompts. Similar to the above, but this time you're challenging the community to come up with complete mixes in the comments. I may run some competitions at some point.
• General social posts. You're welcome to introduce yourself or talk about music you're excited about at the moment. Please try to keep the topic at least vaguely connected to music and music mixes, though.

Comment to this post with any questions. Above all, have fun!
