Some mixes will have more focused themes such as ambient techno, acid, bleep, electro, glitchy ambient, idm or detroit techno but most of them will contain tracks currently occupying my mind, regardless of style and genre.Ġ1. I'm trying to find as many of them as I can and will be presenting them in hour-long mixes. There's so much good music from this part of the musical world that only got pressed on a specific cd compilation or a twelve inch release and did not get wider recognition when released. This is me digging in my own shelves in search of hidden gems, tracks that everyone's heard already, compilation exclusives, promotional edits and forgotten tracks in dire need of exposure. So, in closing… if you heard something you liked in the latest mix ( or if you discover something good somewhere else today), make sure to check out the people making the stuff you like and try to show a little bit of love / support / appreciation ( in whatever ways you can, even if that’s just sharing it with someone else) - because things’ll get gooder if we all focus on spreading more goodness.My collection consists mainly of electronic music from the middle part of the 1990s. And/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 instead or just give a shout-out out on the socials… it all counts/adds up :) ON A RELATED NOTE: HI54LOFI was accepted into the Mixcloud Select program awhile back, which means you can now support the making of these HI54 mix tapes & the artists included on them with a monthly subscription, while also unlocking offline listening for ALL my HI54 Mixcloud mixes (over 200+ and counting) to carry around in your pocket anywhere you go - y’know, if that would be something you’d be interested in. And maybe we could also stop giving so much to the people out there always trying to keep things shitty? So, moving forward in 2021, I will keep a Buy Music Club list going for all the ‘available-on-Bandcamp’ tracks that get featured in one of these The Mix Tape Radio Mix CDs - so go give a gander thru this nice list of nice music you can buy directly on Bandcamp from the humans who make it:īecause everybody wins if we all start sharing some more metaphorical coffees/beers/cheers with the people out there making the things that help make our days a little bit better. Who knows, maybe you’ve even got a poetic #Fandcamp review in you for an album out there? because you’re also getting music to go along with that good feeling of passing on something appreciated to someone you appreciate). ![]() And, if you ask me, or even if you don’t ask me, Bandcamp is one of the best online places going for intentionally & directly supporting the makers of the music you like, in an exchange that benefits both sides ( ie. Ideally, smart artist/human-minded people will start making some more momentum towards coming up with a better/fairer streaming model ( here’s my contribution to the dialogue), but, for now, us appreciators of creativity/good things need to do a better job of being more mindful of making sure we’re continuing to show direct support to the creation of those good things we appreciate. ![]() But let’s remember that we all know how the Spotifys of the world are great for discovering and keeping track of music + streaming services allow us to easily choose better soundtracks throughout the day than what corporate FM radio stations used to drill us into submission with before the internet arrived in everyone’s pocket-which are good things-BUT… the way creators are paid out with streaming is just not very good/fair *ESPECIALLY* in comparison to what some are making off of providing convenient access to other people’s art/work.
