The Eternal Mixtape

Music EN ↓ 3 episodes

Listen to the influence of your influence. Suddenly, there was a burst of light, and a strip of tape was sent rippling across the black of space. Over centuries and millenniums, lifeforms spanning the universe created a tradition of sharing the wealth of their creative influence by burning tracks into the cassette tape. Now, the tape has landed on Planet Earth and each week, Max and Jack sit down with artists across the new music scene to add to it. Each episode, they add four tracks that have greatly influenced them across their life and one of their own.
