Global collaboration through Mixcloud

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Douglas Craters from Vinyl miners recently got in touch to tell us about his new project:

“I have recently put together an international collaborative mix with a micro-community of DJ’s and Selectors built on Mixcloud.

The mix travelled between 8 selectors and 8 cities across the globe and has been published onto Mixcloud here – http://www.mixcloud.com/vinylminers/corpus-octo

The title of the mix is “Corpus Octo” as the contributors and we figured it to be the musical equivalent exquisite corpse. A design has been made for each of the sections of the mix by the wonderful point273.

I hope this meets with your interest, we had a lot of fun making it and through your wonderful community system have made something we are all very proud of.”

Mixcloud loves collaboration, so we’re happy to hear about great things like this happening!

Soundtrack Fright Night: Happy Halloween!

Monday, October 31st, 2011

It’s that time of year again… a time for dressing to the nines in not-so-glad rags and doing a spot of unsolicited sweetie begging from the neighbours. So far so straightforward. But that’s not to say that Halloween isn’t without difficulties. “We know what we should WEAR but what should we LISTEN TO” we hear you cry. Mixcloud has an answer to that and you can find it at the Halloween tag station right here.

We’ve also put the best of this year’s Halloween Cloudcasts in a wee Playlist for your listening pleasure because we’re nice like that…
