This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
“From the first second I heard this album I was hooked, every song is terrific. I've already bought your cassette, after hearing it only yesterday and I don't even own a cassette player! If that doesn't say something, then I don't know what does.”
“Great cause of course, but a record well worth your dollars regardless. Large and disparate collection incorporating many music styles and genres, and every track seems to have a fair amount of merit.”
A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of June 2020.
“I’m a big fan of obsolete technology in general, and much like the satisfying whirl of a cassette, or the warming crackle of a record, I’ve really missed the thump and clatter of an old typewriter.”

“L'Orange's sampled vaudeville and Solemn Brigham's jettisoning lyrics make for an ambitious and striking album. Each track is unique, yet come together into the story of the whole. It's both comedic and thought provoking, and every verse feels like a brushstroke filling in an artist's magnum opus.”
“Eating some ancient grains and throwing away most of your possessions.”
“Kicks off differently than previous WRF releases, more upbeat & jazzy, and really caught my headphones off guard (in a good way). Amazing front-to-back listen as always, but really dug the unexpected smokey jazz club vibes which *spoiler alert* eventually transform into something dark & haunted. A 'letdown' this record most definitely is not.”
“If the thoughts and choices that originally flowed unobstructed now bring up red flags or hard questions, invest some time in trying to figure them out. We can’t go back to how it was. ‘Back to normal’ doesn’t exist any more. Embrace the change, it’s for the better.”
Episode 144 of The Mix Tape Radio Show was inspired by the important Black Lives Matter movement happening right now and contains 8 Black voices, including milo, Dominique Fils-Aimé, Young Fathers, Little Simz + more.
“This a great collection of power pop tunes written by a genius gone too soon, performed by a mix of artists who do the songs justice.”
“Your job is not your life. Your boss is not your friend. Try and find a healthy balance when you can and be willing to make changes when you can't.”
