(PR) NYC hip hop trio The Beatards, made up of band members DJO, Chuck Wild and UTK The INC, will re-launch its popular Mixtape Riot website this week with a celebration at Manhattan club The Beauty Bar. The MixtapeRiot.com launch party will be a celebration of the re-branding of the very popular Captain's Crate music blog (originally launched in February, 2005) which became widely known one of the web's most popular music blogs for soul classics and rarities.
April 14th, 2009. The Beauty Bar (231 E 14th St.) No cover charge, 2 FOR 1 drinks from 10PM-12AM, and FREE mixtapes for the first 100 through the door!
The new website is more than just another blog – with regular updates from The Beatards, Captain Planet, and DJ outfit Soul Imperial among others, MixtapeRiot.com provides an outlet for exclusive original tracks, remixes, and mash-ups as well as music from friends and artists the band loves (old and new). Expect the content to be as varied as the motley collective behind the site – spotlighting everything from new dance floor bangers to vintage afrobeat to forgotten classics and virtually all things in between.
