Welcome To Paradise Lost

When you're sick or just having a wack-energy day, sometimes alot of your go-to music can suddenly sound frustratingly irrevelant... too fast. Too high energy. Too joyous. Too depressing. Or too intense. This mixtape was specifically curated to score the endless tarpit of lethargy, baths, snooze buttons, bedsheets and fever dreams... hopefully it can help you make peace with stillness and add some splashes of color to grey days.

Rage Peace Mixtape #6: Zzzamrock

This is the first historical experiment in making a live communal mixtape.


On April 22, 2023 A.D., a rugged group of pioneers and music aficionados got together with the shared mission of creating a live communal mixtape. We all brought records to share and went around in a fun non-linear fashion, each playing a song while hitting record on the tape machine. This is a document of a sonic conversation between friends and strangers. This is a group attempt to briefly and clumsily touch utopia.

Mishmash radio show 9/25/25

On December 14, 2025 A.D., a rugged group of pioneers and music aficionados got together with the shared mission of creating a live communal mixtape. We all brought records to share and went around in a fun non-linear fashion, each playing a song while hitting record on the tape machine. This is a document of a sonic conversation between friends and strangers. This is a group attempt to briefly and clumsily touch utopia.
