Mixtapes

Mixtapes are collections of songs curated by an artist, DJ, or enthusiast, often compiled onto a single release or tape. Originally, they were physical cassette tapes shared informally or sold at concerts, but today they are primarily digital files shared online. Mixtapes can serve various purposes: showcasing a particular mood, highlighting new or favorite tracks, or promoting emerging artists. They are usually not official albums and might include original, remixed, or unreleased material, offering a creative and personalized way to experience music without the constraints of commercial album releases.
