Each year, ISSUE Project Room commissions and creates a limited edition Mixtape for the organization’s members. ISSUE is pleased to announce that our 20th Anniversary Member Mixtape will feature harpist, composer, sound artist, and longtime ISSUE collaborator Shelley Burgon. The Mixtape features performances from ISSUE’s archive with additional computer processing by Burgon. Each Mixtape comes with a digital download and a J-Card designed by the artist.

ISSUE is pleased to offer Members a new limited edition Mixtape by composer, musician, artist, and philosopher Hunter Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix—known for her “transcendental black metal” project Liturgy. The tape is ISSUE's fifth physical mixtape with digital download and features Hunt-Hendrix performing a philosophical reading of the libretto for Liturgy's Origin of the Alimonies laid over a glitch soundscape composed of source material from Liturgy’s fourth album H.A.Q.Q. Each mixtape comes with a digital download and a J-Card designed by the artist.

ISSUE is pleased to offer Members a new limited edition Mixtape by Brooklyn-based vocalist and producer Embaci, our fourth physical Mixtape with digital download.

ISSUE is pleased to offer Members a new limited edition Mixtape by multimedia artist Cory Arcangel, our third physical Mixtape. The tape features an unreleased recording of NYARTIST (2019).

For this Mixtape, the pipe organ piece is surrounded by EDM tracks by Zoie Makes Noise, Xentia, DemonDubz & Crysus, Comasleep, and more.
