"A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do. You've got to kick off with a corker, to hold the attention and then you've got to up it a notch, or cool it a notch, and you can't have white music and black music together, unless the white music sounds like black music, and you can't have two tracks by the same artist side by side, unless you've done the whole thing in pairs and... oh, there are loads of rules." Creating a great mixtape is definitely an artform. The Mixtape Club presents 10 people, 10 tracks and 10 album covers. Go discover some new tunes.

We love tapes! Mixtapes, even more! They helped many a shy teenager express their feelings towards a member of the opposite sex. Cassette From My Ex brings back a whole lot of nostalgia by not only showing us the playlists of many a long forgotten mixtape but also includes the story behind its creation. Beautiful. - Via PSFK
