Despite the 7inch, the mixtape has probably been the most important medium to carry reggae and dancehall from Kingston to the world (before the times of Rapidshare and friends).
But digitalisation has basically killed both – vinyl as well as the music cassette. Nowadays, boring looking self-burned mix-cds with trashy cover-designs or no graphics at all flood the streets.
If you want your mix to stand out of that heartless mass, you might be interested in something that combines the personal touch of a mixtape with the non-deniable advantages of a digital storage kit and make a “Mixa” – a 1-GB-USB-stick that comes attached to a (almost) regular MC including case.
Best thing: you can design the labels and the sleeve yourself. Just like back in the days when you used to break hearts with your tapes on a regular basis.

This is how a shirt ordered at Threadless in the States looked like arriving in Germany. Maybe we should start selling stickers instead of shirts… (via Wortfeld).
P.S. I wonder how our packages look like reaching their international destinations. Pictures, anybody?

The “Everything Starts From Scratch”-shirt (note: there are only about 10 of them left in our shop) continues its global journey around the web. Next stop: the Frizzifrizzi-blog in Italy. Unfortunately, nobody in the seen.-hq speaks Italian, but those things them write which you get without being a selecta for One Love Hi-Powa sound good to us. Mille grazie!
P.S. Nice flickr-group by the way.

… that “Everything Starts From Scratch” Perry. The jeans manufacturer chose another picture of Peter Dean Rickards´ Lee Perry-series for an international ad campaign (no dippy dippy stuff, this shit gonna be in Vanity Fair) based on a still up-and-running photo competition named “Make History“. Nice selection guys!
