Welcome to mixtapeselecta!
A few months ago my external hard drive, containing all my music on, died. As with most things, I’m still under the delusion that I will get it fixed one day. Until then, I have been forced (reluctantly at first) to trawl the internet in search of free downloads so I've got enough good music to listen.
I soon learnt two things (a) It isn't that easy to find free downloads (b) there is a lot of shit out there. However, there are some real gems. The aim of this blog is to share them with you.
A few house rules before I begin:
1. I will not concentrate, or blog on a particular website. Obviously some websites will have more than one killer mix on, but this is about the individual mixes, not where they are hosted.
2. No techno, house or shit indie. Anything else goes...
3. If i start banging on about The Fall, Mogwai, Dennis Brown or The Disciples too much, stop me and punish me.
4. Feel free to give me a heads up on any good mixes you find, but don't be offended if I don't post, I ain't trying to promote, advertise or follow any trends. If you don't like it, start your own blog.
Finally thanks to Ben Richards, who made me realise you can be both terribly lazy and about 5 years behind the curve and still start a blog; and secondly to a man like Ivan A, who made me a killer mix tape when I was 17, which almost single handedly got me into Jamaican music, cheers guys.
Enjoy the mixtapes peeps
Peas and love
