With the advent of digital media and file sharing on a global scale, my glorious collection of mix tapes now take up residence alongside a vintage VHS player, and pair of platform shoes. Back in the day, the mixtape was a snapshot of its creators life, conveyed through a compilation of carefully selected artists and songs. Many mixtape enthusiasts believe that by carefully selecting and ordering the tracks in a mix, an artistic statement can be created that is greater than the sum of its individual songs. Nowadays, kids are plugged into their iPods and Blackberry’s, where dynamic playlists reign supreme. Sure you can pass along your favorite playlist to a friend, but who’s to say they’ll play your selected tracks in the right order, or even substitute in one of their favorites. Blasphemy!
It seems as though everything old is new again (well sort of), as Muxtape is a throwback to the way things used to be. This new online compilation service allows users to upload their own songs and share them with the rest of the world. To create your own Muxtape, users must sign their life away and save Muxtape from any sort of liability stemming from illegal use of copy written content. This isn’t a social tool, or a service that grants you access to other peoples uploaded content for your own mixtapes, but rather Muxtape is merely an online service that lets you indulge in a bit of old school mixtapology. So if you’re interested in going on an auditory adventure, strap on your helmet, sit back and get lost in someone’s finely tuned mix. They truly are works of art.
