“Excellent initiative that is bringing new music to the forefront, in such an organic and nostalgic way! The cassette is excellent quality, and I love the magazine booklet that comes with it, to introduce you to the music you are listening to.”

“Spotted this on a friends insta account and decided to give it a go. Good mix of genre’s on the mixtape album and bought the vinyl of a few of the artists on the back of the sample. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed.”
