If certain mixtapes are easily accessible and were mass produced, we prefer to work from a clean copy. We have saved some tapes that are 4 or 5 generations down, but we tend to reserve that for rare one of a kind recordings. Each generation down adds an additional layer of tape hiss that is hard to remove, and degrades the fidelity of the recording. Each time a mixtape is copied down a generation, you add tape hiss, upon tape hiss. With signings like Crystal Castles, Dan Deacon, Le Castle Vania under their belts, as well as sweeping up all of Londons most wanted acts. We prefer to work from the original mixtapes, instead of copies of copies. So Sweet Presents: Man Like Me, Chupacabra + Tapedeck DJs Tuesday, January 15 Quoth our friend Mira 'So Sweet Records are the hippest of the hip cutting edge Svengalis of the swinging LA electro scene. Mixes from the 2000's haven't aged enough yet. Our fans are currently only into the old school DJ mixes. MIXTAPES ONLY, please!Ĭurrently, we are only accepting mixtapes from the 70's-90's. We are only looking for mixtapes that were recorded live by the DJs, or were mass produced by the DJs, and sold/passed around in the underground scene. We've had box loads of tapes dropped off to us that are filled with pre-recorded recording artist tapes. Please only submit tapes that are properly labeled with the DJ's name, club or party that it was recorded from, and the date recorded if possible. The other club DJs seemed to like the re-edits as well and suggested that. While the mixes may be cool, they won't get much attention from our fans once we post them. He did however have an extensive collection of Disco 45s and a tape deck with. Even though is only a 2 head deck model it offers many of the superior features found in DENON's upper-range models, such as 3-motor Computer-Controlled Silent Mechanism, advanced Dolby HX Pro circuitry and a Dual Power Supply design. We've had submissions of tapes with no labels on them. The DENON DR-M12HR stereo cassette deck was introduced in 1989. Our fans want to know who the mixes are by, and where they were recorded. The purpose of SFDPS is to preserve the legacies of DJs, and nightclub history. We can't fix those in the remastering process. Also, tapes that were not properly stored (in their tape cases) tend to have a lot of dropouts. Tapes that have been played hundreds of times on a cheap car tape deck, are usually filled with tons of dropouts, and are unsuitable for a clean digital transfer. ![]() We have had collections come our way that have really been abused. Home use of tapes that were played on a properly maintained tape deck yield the best transfers for us. ![]() We prefer to digitize tapes that have been taken care of. TAPES MUST BE IN VERY GOOD OR MINT CONDITION Please follow these guidelines to save time for both of us. If you have a collection to donate, or share, please let us know! We have the following guidelines for tape submissions. We are always on the hunt for rare DJ mixtape collections.
