With the impact mobile devices have had on us in the last few years, it is getting more and more important to get your online presence out there and onto mobile applications.

I have found an excellent article written by
Chris Kinsey of Sixth Story that is not only thorough but a good read.

I was initially attracted to the website by the aesthetics of the design and intrigued by the multitude of cassettes on display.

After a few clicks I realised that Mixibits.com is simply a music sharing site dedicated to restoring the love for the old mix tape, It’s about finding music, compiling a tape and sharing with people.

I know there are many other sites that offer the same service as mixbits but by the shear genius of including cassette tapes as a visual medium makes it that much more awesome. It really takes me back to the good old days of recording tunes by holding up a tape deck to the radio and later on, badly mixed rave tapes on my £200 direct drive turntables and mixer with the sticky cross fader. Even the search function for some reason reminds me of flicking through my hefty vinyl collection.
