Shop Gentei is back with another hot item, a 1992 Scotty B mix, dubbed from an original cassette copy, onto deadstock vintage tapes! It's weird to think about how casettes were THE SHIT back in the day, and how old they seem now. I sill have a tape deck that I can use, but how many people still do? A lot of people today have NEVER used tapes, and it must seem like a relic to them. To anyone that was into dance music in the 90's however, the mixtape was often the only source for tons of great DJ mixes and live sets, and 'only' copies of rare tapes were treated like gold. It is a real concern that a lot of this history will be lost as tape machines get older and older, and the magnetic strip degrades. This is a huge problem in general for old media, film, video tapes, computer disks, really anything analog - and it is a really fun idea to make this mix something that can't just be listened to anywhere.
