"Stay Classy, San Diego"

Greetings, Mix Tape Mixers.

Thanks for checking out the site over these past months, especially those who have been with us from the start.

A while ago, I set a deadline of when I would call it quits on Mix Tape Mix. Well, that deadline is here.

I will keep the blog open, and whoever wants to step up and start posting, leave your email address in a comment. I will be handing over admin duties to a friend, and I'll be checking back in once in a while to see how things are going.


Farewell.

Bleeding Through - Declaration (Advance)

Bleeding Through with a new album entitled Declaration, a “concept album” about the rigors of being away from home. Street date: Sept 30th.

Some of the songs are named for different cities or states, frontman Brandan Schieppati told Revolver in the magazine’s May 2008 issue. “There are definitely places when we’re traveling where every time we go there, we’re like, ‘Fuck, why do we have to be here?’ Like, we’ll be in France and all of a sudden we’ll feel totally insignificant. You get the feeling that people’s eyes are just burning a hole through you.”

The Bug - London Zoo

Pitchfork's Best New Music:

"London Zoo" was born of three key moments. An introduction to the thriving Dub-Step scene (of which The Bug is very much a pioneer before it carried a name) and it's key producers (via Kode 9) where Kevin realized there was others on the same sonic trajectory as himself, an introduction to Warrior Queen via his work with Wayne Lonesome on the Razor X Productions project, and a Mary Anne Hobb's Breezeblock session which introduced him to Flowdan (Roll Deep), and Ricky Ranking. All three of which figure heavily in the end result and live presentation.

Tittsworth - 12 Steps [2008]


Tittsworth's debut album, the not so annonymous 12 Steps, showcases his talent as producer, not content with simply editing and remixing other people's music. Instead, he has crafted an original record of beats and songs that draw from different genres and places on the map, demonstrating the full gamut of Tittworth's vision.

I love the song titles on this album. And yeah, the music is good.

Buddy Wakefield - Run on Anything



In honor of the National Poetry Slam going on now (August 3-9) in Madison, Wisconsin. This is Buddy Wakefield. Buddy won the Individual World Poetry Slam Competition in 2004 and 2005. He has since released this album on Strange Famous Records featuring live performances and also studio pieces. Sage Francis appears (and actually the name of Sage's last record 'Human the Death Dance' is taken from a Buddy piece of the same name.)
To quote Buddy directly:
"If you've never been rocked back by the presence of purpose
this poem is too soon for you.
Return to your mediocrity
plug it into an amplifier
and rrrre-think yerself!"
