:: Shattering! your ideas about what radio is, what it should sound like and how it can be made and played ::

You think you have better taste than JJJ? Commercial Radio driving you mad? Reckon you're as cool as they come when it comes to your wax collection? Well, you should have you own radio show, right?

DAMN right. Here's why you should send us a tape:

We (a ramshackle bunch of nerdy arty types) using our remarkable skills of begging, borrowing and stealing to launch a broadside at Commercial Radio, which we all agree is woeful.

You've heard this at the pub before, right? How?

As it turns out, it's possible to get a radio license and a transmitter quite cheaply, but the catch is that they're quite low powerd.

So, rascals that we are, we've decided to just get them by the dozen, and link them all up. Suburb sized fm transmitters -- if you want one on your roof, do give us a call.

Anyway, that aside here's where we think it gets cool: We're playing nothing but mixtapes sent in by good folks like you. Our taste is better, and our mixtapes more meaningful that most of that blearry stuff foisted on us by Sony BMG, right?

We think this is cool, my mum thinks it's democracy and Al thinks it's just good taste.

As things are, we might wind up doing an offshore radio project -- yes, radio transmitters on boats, at sea. Surprisingly enough, it might be easier to get around the licensing difficulties this way.

From there, we're going to set about expanding the project to make it easier for you to send in mixtapes.

But who are we? Who does such crazy things? Have a look off to the right, we're all quite nice.

Ok, what now?

Join the group. You've read this far, you might as well. That way we can keep in touch with you.

Mostly we want you to think of your favourite tunes, and a person you'd like to send them to. Then, put them on a CD or a tape in some order that's meaningful for you. Then, send it to us at the address below.

Better yet ... make one right now www.mixwit.com

If you REALLY like what we're saying-- and we sure hope you do-- then we want you to help us pull this off, join the google group listed below. Explanations, instructions and contact details for all of us are inside.

Cheers,
Ben Griffin,
