The Story of Muxtape

crumbler:

muxtape:

“What happened, and where we’re going. Muxtape is relaunching as a service exclusively for bands.”

I think what he means to say is that Muxtape is relaunching as a service no one will use. UNFOLLOWED.

Unfollowed is right. What a shame - it was a great platform for citizen DJs.
