k-pop remixes

no fancy aesthetic title for this one because i couldn't think of one so it's exactly what it says on the tin lol. two unbalanced sides of k-pop remixes, by fans and then official! i recorded this so far just to minidisc, i wanted to include the somewhat obscure official momoland thumbs up remix but i couldn't fit it on the disc unfortunately (only 74 minutes available!). i also wanted to throw in a couple more faves like yunu in the house ditto remix and the rina sawayama remix of eve psyche by le sserafim but yeah, ran outta time. oh well! maybe i'll try to fit them on a longer tape.

i split these into two sides but obviously minidisc doesn't do sides like records or tape. it's just for like, organizational purposes when posting this i guess :P if i record this onto a 90 minute tape (which then of course i'll have more space for those remixes i couldn't fit in) i'll add a new picture and revised track listing!

XG TAPEZ

i've been SUPER obsessed with XG and i adore their XG tape series, in which their rap members do solos or unit performances on existing beats with new lyrics, and the name had me going... why don't i put these on a tape? so i did that! and i ended up putting it on a mini disc too just to use my new sticker paper. i messed up the label a little but for my first go i'm pretty happy with it.

just an MD for this mix! haven't had the patience to record a tape lately and burning CDs has been reserved for friend mixes for now, even though i have plenty of blank CDs. i have a couple of these white MDs that i think are super cool and futuristic looking and i thought it'd be great for the summer.

at some point i do want to get sticker paper (might go and order that after making this post) so i can make and print the tiny labels for my MD mixes like lots of people do. i made a cute cover for this mix that, while basic, reflects the whole vibe quite well, so i really want to replace the temporary office label i've used here with a proper printed label of that cover.

THE MINIDISC REVOLUTION IS UPON US

i have been obsessed with minidiscs for the past month. they're a dead format by sony that made optical discs tiny and put them in colorful floppy disk-like cartridges and the players fit in the palm of your hand and they're ADORABLE and FUTURISTIC and the BEST. you can learn more about them at the community-run minidisc wiki because i can't distill its history in just one post but it's very rich and interesting!

anyway my note for this mix over at illcocytus was "the centerpiece of this mix was lips by snsd and the percussion in it and then it morphed into this" so i hope that explains this mix well enough
