[kj] Martin Atkins quote from SXSW todayish: KJ

[sade1]

    I think we've got at least 2 different meanings for "mixtapes" floating 
around.  When I first heard "mixtapes"(or cds) it was only dj or similar mixes. 
Only. Compilations ('mix'tapes, ughh!) were below that.    

    And I'd get my mixtapes from friends, djs, and some stores. 
Compilations were a step below that, which is why it pissed me off hugely when I 
first went looking for a (mass-produced) "mixtape" which was neither a mix 
nor on even on good quality tape!
 
 
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).
