YOU Pick the Tracks: Welcome to Pick the Tape! 📼✨

What Is Pick the Tape?

Remember the magic of making the perfect mixtape? Sitting by the radio, waiting for that one track to drop, and carefully curating the ultimate lineup? We’re bringing that exact energy back—live and interactive.

We are hosting a special livestream event simultaneously on YouTube and Facebook where you control the tracklist. Instead of us telling you what the best hits of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s are, we’re building the official Up in the Past mixtape together in real time.

How It Works

Tune In Live: Catch us streaming live on both YouTube and Facebook. (Check the schedule below or follow our socials so you don’t miss the notification!)
Drop Your Requests: Sound off in the live chat with your favorite throwbacks from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s—any genre, from hip-hop and R&B to rock, pop, and one-hit wonders.
Watch the Tape Build: As you vote and request tracks in the chat, we’ll be tracking the top picks and locking them onto our official community master list right here on the website.

Quick Heads-Up (No Copyright Strikes Here!): To keep the stream running smoothly without getting cut off by copyright bots, no actual music will be played during the livestream. Think of this as a live hangout, debate, and drafting session—we’re talking music history, debating the best eras, and building the master tracklist together!
