Murderbot features frequently on this site, mainly because he can be counted on to turn out classic themed mixtapes time after time. His latest project, entitled "My Year of Mixtapes", is going to crop up again and again in the coming months I can tell…Follow his blog here: http://yearofmixtapes.blogspot.com/
He’s currently on week 10, so to bring you up to speed I’ll let the Mixtape Massiah explain what he’s up to (taken from Week 1 introduction):"Hi folks, Chrissy Murderbot here. You may know me from being a DJ & producer, or from the two record labels I run (here and here), or it is also perfectly reasonable that you don’t know me at all. I will accept that.
So
I’ve recently decided to start this little mixtape blog as a personal
project, and barring some huge disaster I’m going to post a mixtape a
week, every week, for the next 52 (or so) weeks.
Some ground rules I’m setting for myself:1) Every mix will (more or less) have a theme of some sort.
2)
All mixes will be recorded live in one take (although I may do some
post-production editing to get things down to a reasonable time).
3) No repeats—no song will pop up twice in this blog.
4) Likewise, no song that has previously appeared in a mix of mine published on the web (for instance, here)
will pop up on this blog. Unless I get really lazy one week and post
one of those mixes on this blog, which will probably happen at some
point.
5) If it’s a live
set (i.e. somebody recorded me DJing at some party and gave me the
audio and I’m posting it here), then rules 3 & 4 are out the window.
6) Every mix will be timed to fit on either a CDR or a cassette tape.
7) I’m open to requests. I might not pay them any attention whatsoever, but then again I might. Email me (chrissy [at-sign] murderbot [dot] com)."
