EPISODE 133 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

EPISODE 133 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

In search of a routine more likely to get a fresh HI54 Mix Tape out the door every week, I started combining my mix tape making with my HI54 Mix CD updating near the end of 2019 and I’ll be damned if it didn’t turn out to be one those rare “good ideas” that actually turned out to be a good idea… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ … maybe the rumours are true and one does get better if they just keep plugging along?

MTR - EPISODE 133

 {a ‘420-All-Day-Flavoured’ episode}

Episode 133 was created while shuffling around in the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘420 ≠ ALL DAY @ THE HI54LOFI’ — which is a Spotify playlist I keep stocked with 420 total tracks (because that’ll play for 24hrs straight without repeating a track/artist, duh) and it just so happens that a new 54 track mix is rotated in at the start of every month (so follow on Spotify for future updates/extended listening) and I don’t know if you noticed, but yesterday was the first of a new month.

So press play on the player above or jump over to Mixcloud— and make sure to have a browse thru the listenable/clickable track listing below (as odds are good that there’ll be a track/artist or two that your ears are gonna want to spend more time with):

If you find yourself enjoying any of the above, there are some pretty decent odds that following HI54LOFI out on the internets would not be the worst use of one of your internet clicks today (I tend to share things like the above on the regular-ish… so maybe we operate on similar wavelengths?)…

…and it probably wouldn’t be too bad of an idea to follow/shuffle thru the rest of the ‘420 ≠ ALL DAY @ THE HI54LOFI’ Mix CD that this week’s episode of MTR was pulled from, because something tells me if you liked the 8 songs featured in the latest mix tape, chances are good you’ll like a good chunk of the 412 other ace tracks found in the full Spotify playlist at all times.

And speaking of extended listening vibes, if you ever want to shuffle thru every track that’s ever been played on an MTR episode (well, all the tracks currently available on Spotify – which is still A LOT) you can do so at anytime OVER HERE +++++ PLUS, if you’d like to extend the ‘soundtrack-by-mixtape’ vibes all day, I hi54lofi-ly recommend you go press the play button over on MOUN.TOWN/AM (which is a mountain town “collaboration” project I am currently doing with myself — but more importantly it’ll play one HI54 mix tape after another all day for you once you press play).

ALSO also: HI54LOFI was accepted into the Mixcloud Select program a little while ago, which means you can now support the making of these mix tapes & the artists included on them with a monthly subscription — if you’d be interested in something like that (or nobody would be mad at you if you’d prefer to make a one-time “thanks for the stuff” donation of your choice to HI54LOFI over here instead, or even if you just told someone else that they might like what they’d find over on the ol’ HI54.BLOG… that stuff helps too!).

And, final finally… if you hear something you like in this latest episode (or just in general out on the internets today), make sure to check out the people making the stuff you like out further and show them a little bit of love / support / appreciation (in whatever ways you can) — because everybody wins if we all start sharing some more metaphorical coffees/beers/cheers with the people making the things that make things a little bit better (and maybe start giving a little less to the people out there trying to keep things shitty). Every little bit counts.
