WHAT IS IMP?

The International Mixtape Project was founded in November 2003. It's a developing community of music-oriented souls around the globe that exchange monthly compilation tapes and CD-Rs. The IMP is now more than two years old and includes over 500 participants from more than 30 countries.

HOW DOES IMP WORK?
Each member is required to send one compilation CD-R or cassette to another member every month for the duration of the project. Your assignment is generated automatically around the first day of every month from a database of active members and delivered via e-mail. With each assignment, participants have until the end of the month to send a mix to their assigned recipient. In exchange, each participant receives a mix from somewhere around the world!

HOW DO I JOIN IMP?
Send an e-mail to international.mixtape.project@gmail.com with the subject line "JOIN" and an administrator will send you all of the relevant information. There is a $10 membership fee to cover administrative costs.
