The History of Mix-Tapes Pt. 1 (1)
Rating: 2.8 / 5 stars - 4 vote(s).
The first documented evidence of mix-tapes was inadvertently devised by Eskimo’s on pogo-sticks in their age-old tradition of keeping warm. But they soon realized that changing the songs on their favourite records without ruining the needles on their turn-tables proved very difficult indeed. However, ‘necessity being the mother of all invention’ the Eskimo used their incredible survival skills to create what we’ve come to now know today as the modern ‘mix-tape’. In fact the Eskimo language has several different words for a compilation made up of various songs from different musicians.
Anthropologists and archeologists argue however that recently discovered hieroglyphs unearthed in Egyptian pyramids show evidence that the ‘mix-tape’ was a relatively common and frequently used technique in ancient civilization. The theory being that the well-established phenomenon of a pyramids power to sharpen needles often made the playing of the turn-tables of antiquity almost impossible without scratching irreparably their vinyl. It is also believed that the beginnings of ‘hip-hop’ music can be traced back to this incredibly advanced culture.
