Always nice to be able to enjoy a nice mix and be inspired at the same time. Now listening to this week’s Long Live House Radio Show by Graeme Park. Thank you 909originals for making me aware of it!

The Art of 1990s DJ Mixtapes
Back in the nineties, when I started to DJ, making a mixtape meant recording straight onto cassette tape. It was recorded straight from vinyl with just two turntables, a mixer, and a tape deck. Cassette tapes were usually 30 or 45 minutes per side (C60, C90). I never used the C120 that had 60 minutes per side. I’m not sure why, looking back. I think the audio quality wasn’t as good. I might be wrong about this, it is 30 years ago. Although you could record both sides of a tape, there was a gap in the middle. This occurred when the tape changed sides, either automatically or manually. So you really only had 30 or 45 minutes to craft a compelling mix. I recently fell back in love with that idea: getting a story across in just 30 to 45 minutes. I am planning to record some home “taped” mixes regularly (aiming for one a week), the first one is online already on my Mixcloud:
