About this site

We are not an algorithm.

CustomMixtape was born out of a simple, rebellious realization: digital music is convenient, but it lacks a soul. In an era where we "rent" access to 100 million songs through a screen, we’ve lost the intentionality of holding a physical object, the ritual of the B-side, and the permanence of a tangible gift.

This site is the editorial heart of our project. While our shop allows you to create high-quality, personalized CDs and Cassettes, this blog is where we defend the analog culture. Here, you’ll find:

• Deep Dives into Analog Culture: Exploring why physical media is more relevant in 2026 than ever before.
• The Art of Curation: Tips and stories on how to build the perfect mixtape—the kind that becomes a time capsule for your memories.
• Tech & Quality: Why we obsess over things like 300 DPI artwork and high-bias tape saturation.
• Honest Critique: Our take on the current state of the music industry and why we believe the future is actually behind us.

We don't do "content for the sake of content." Every article here is written by humans, for humans. No automated fluff, no AI-generated filler. Just a shared passion for music you can actually touch.

Welcome to the Analog Revolution.
