Afterglow Echoplex
The process of making an analog mixtape is something of a lost art these day. Today, anyone can create a playlist of easily-available songs without digging through piles of vinyl records, cassettes or CD's, worrying about time constraints, or painstakingly writing out the bands and songs featured on these cassette mixes on a J-card.
Just like the compilation cassettes and CD-R's of yore, the mixtapes on each of these episodes were painstakingly handcrafted just for you; yes, YOU! I hope you enjoy 'em!
Eech episode of the Afterglow Echoplex podcast is a virtual mixtape featuring back-to-back songs by independent artists you might not be privy to... yet. These episode's 60-minute mixtapes are produced in direct collaboration with the bands and musicians featured on the show.
As with the bands featured here, this podcast would not be possible without you. Thank you for listening.
