Elephant Mixtapes Hides Musical Treasures Around Chicago

Chicagoist:

We get it?you?re tired of hearing about mixtapes and cassette culture and all that hipster fluff, but we have something a little different for you: Elephant Mixtapes is a new project that plants handmade mixtapes around the city and relies on participation from the people who find them.

Here?s how it work: The project?s creator (he prefers to keep his identity undisclosed and the project itself in the spotlight) assembles a mixtape and makes ten copies every month then hides them around the city. You can find them in environments fitting for an audience that might actually own a tape deck, like bars and record stores?you won?t have to go lifting manhole covers or running your hands along the gummy undersides of bus seats.
