52 Tapes


Hey, I'm Jim. Throughout 2010 and 2011, I made one mixtape per week and shared them here. Since then, I've converted them to Spotfiy playlists. I've also continued to make mixes from time to time. If you'd like to get in touch with me, send me an email at jim@52tapes.com. I hope you enjoy them!
