[kj] Martin Atkins quote from SXSW todayish: KJ

[folk devil]

I think some Brits and Euros may have a slightly different semantic for mixtapes.
e.g. I was picking up 'DJ' mixtapes, not necessarily hip-hop, from places like choci's tunes and parties in the late 80s early 90s.
It was very synonymous with rave culture.

That's my point, Sade. Mixtapes used to be just that -- homemade cassette compilations. In the last several years, however, the term "mixtape" now refers to a promotional tool for hip hop record labels. I'm not defending it, I'm just sayin'.

I was listening to mixtapes back in the 80s and they had nothing to do with hiphop (altough hiphop was a genre also mixed since back then).

That's how I read it. "Mixtapes" now mean something entirely different, I gather. Blame Hip Hop.

By 'mix tape' doesn't he mean the good old fashioned compilation tape you
used to
do for/get from your mates? ie someone gave him a cassette back in the day
with KJ on it?
