Can’t wait for the next official SF Mixtape Society event on July 27?

Join us and our friends at Noise Pop at the California Academy of Sciences this Thursday for a special event featuring a mixtape swap with the theme of “Freedom”, along with DJ sets from Two Gallants & Jamie Jams, a performance by the band Running in the Fog, a beer hall featuring craft brewers, a poster art exhibition, Berlin-style ping pong and a pop-up record shop.

How It Works
Create one music mix based on the theme “Freedom”, interpreted as you see fit, and bring the mix with you to the event. Everyone who shows up with a mix will go home with a mix made by someone else. Mixes may be in any format: CD, USB stick, cassette, etc. Artwork is encouraged, but not required. The mixtape swap takes place at 7:45pm sharp in the East Pavilion near the Planetarium!

Congrats to Renata Santillan, winner of our drawing Outside Lands Music Festival passes. The winning playlist was randomly selected by the Random Number Generator from entries for the Judges’ Choice Award, but Renata’s mixtape is sunny, playful and awesome on its own merits:

The Mixtape: “Summertime Camp”

The Story: “I love camping in Big Sur with all of my friends. There’s nothing better than having a great playlist where you can just chill back, bbq, drink a little too much, and just enjoy the sun (of which we see very little of in SF).”

The Songs:
Two Door Cinema Club- Something Good Can Work
Camper Van Beethoven – Northern California Girls
Electric Guest – This Head I Hold
Kendric Lamar – The Recipe
STRFR – Rawnald Gregory Erickson the Second
Dr Dog version – Heart it Races
GroupLove – Naked Kids
Young L., Beldina – Coupe Life
Miike Snow – Animal

Donations will be encouraged, and Save KUSF merchandise and guest celebrity mixes will be available for purchase with 100% of all proceeds going to the Save KUSF cause. Plus, the winner of the Judges Choice award will be invited to be a Guest DJ on KUSF to play and talk about their mix.
