The Mixtape Project is made up of Pete and Yakka - two friends and musicians. On this podcast we share the music that shapes us, giving you a dose of that music-human connection we’re all searching for. Each week we create a collection of songs, unpack the music and discuss their impact on us.

    Computer Generated Mixtape

    We set our own goal of 14 episodes for the first season, and with this one we have finally delivered. To celebrate, we give power to the machines... using a word generator to create 8 themes for each song selected in this mixtape. A very interesting song selection, we hope you enjoy!

    Lunchbox Mixtape

    What's in the box? Yakka picks the theme of "lunchbox" for this themed mixtape which sees a mixture of food related songs and music that doesn't contain any surprises - a feature that is sometimes just what you want in a piece of music. Check out the music that we discuss here:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjFJ_s0r9GYKqLnzHro8UVdllnHC0fda and here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4iANEUKlPUbdHgyd4Ff8BX?si=6b83835392db4f7a

    Infinity Mixtape V

    A very interesting Infinity Mixtape episode. Dreamy pop and lo-fi hip hop tracks lead Yakka to describe some recurring dreams he has experienced and the music that featured in them. Psychoanalytical interpretations welcome! Send us your theories about the man planting the trees...

    Grit Mixtape

    After being taken out by norovirus (emphasis on the noro...) over the last couple of weeks we are back with a themed episode appropriately centred around grit. What makes a song gritty? Can you say that a sound is gritty? What on earth are we talking about? All will be revealed in this episode as we navigate 10 minute R&B jams, narrowly miss a duplicate track, and consistently try to define and refine the word "grit." Enjoy.  Music from this episode can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjFJ_s0r9Gbb0LNlu5i7ceFr5nCAJznn and here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ggcL8a7T6BI9PXRLsb2ht?si=f5fbea71cf534787

    Guarded Mixtape

    A slightly cryptic themed mixtape this week which sees discussions on the power of music to impact our emotional state, why you should always guard your sunglasses and other life-saving advice. As always, the result is an eclectic mixtape.  Playlists can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjFJ_s0r9Gav2_IEWb37V1pACIE3_Oju and here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0TlimeGKLSRBnnF4QzWcGp?si=ed7d9d88ebad415b

    Bathtub Mixtape

    Just like a good bath this episode runs a little longer than usual. Pete can't stop talking about the different types of "bathing experiences" and Yakka gets philosophical about the nature of sound. So get your bubbles, make sure your boiler still works, sit back, relax and soak in the sounds. Check out the music here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjFJ_s0r9Ga4w3FEBjN6ACZJ5dpMJnSq The Spotify playlist doesn't have all the tracks but can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2UyKQvEGlRA2wy6WDNg17i?si=b317e47337e54987

    Infinity Mixtape IV

    Our fourth instalment of the Infinity Mixtape - "the mixtape that never ends." The last song from the previous Infinity Mixtape episode serves as the inspiration for the first song in this one. We breeze through some classics, as well as some new songs, discover Pete can't drive whilst listening to Bruce Hornsby and Yakka geeks out on some guitarists... enjoy!    Check out the music from this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjFJ_s0r9GZaFae5spr9rr5QNO2F9WvC and here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/14kD2ZEpWZI0D4nf0E0OEK?si=f6e4c3f412ce40ad

    Disorder Mixtape

    We can only assume that Yakka had a bad week when he came up with this theme. Chaotic sounds, dysfunctional bands and personality disorders all feature in this mixtape. Another eclectic mix of songs and stories. Check out the music here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjFJ_s0r9GY5YcGcOiq_mwWKMJg5EOGe and here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/04BsLSD10t5tmAZ6w6eRXV?si=f0d5d0689d4143ed
