Mixes are a unique type of musical expression. They capture a specific moment in time, determined by the knowledge and style of the artist. A mix is as important a creative statement as an album, remix or EP. One mix can change an artist’s career, one mix can open a listener’s mind to something completely new. Your favourite mixes never get old.But mixes have become like content tokens, made for free and exchanged for promotion, pushed out into the world on a daily basis. Unless a mix is licensed by a record label, neither the DJ nor the artists whose music is played get paid.We miss the importance that mixes used to have.
