GU016
''Global Underground 016: Dave Seaman, Cape Town'' is a DJ mix album in the Global Underground series, compiled and mixed by Dave Seaman. The mix is a retrospective look at a set in Cape Town, South Africa. Dave Seaman makes a welcome return to GU a year after his debut release. This CD was the first and only (so far...) visit the series has paid to the African continent, as Dave showcases the tracks he used to whip South Africa's growing club scene into a suitable frenzy. The party in Cape Town was particularly memorable, not only because it was Dave's birthday on the night of the event, but also because a bomb scare caused the evacuation of the entire area in the middle of his set. The clubbers didn't let this unwelcome break in the proceedings spoil the party though, singing a mass 'happy birthday' to Dave outside, before being let back inside to blow the roof off in a more acceptable, safely metaphorical manner.

Mixtape
A mixtape (alternatively mix-tape, mix tape or mixed tape) is a compilation of music, typically from multiple sources, recorded onto a medium. With origins in the 1980s, the term normally describes a homemade compilation of music onto a cassette tape, CD, or digital playlist. The songs are either ordered sequentially or made into a continuous programme by beatmatching the songs and creating seamless transitions at their beginnings and endings with fades or abrupt edits. Essayist Geoffrey O'Brien described this definition of the mixtape as "perhaps the most widely practiced American art form". In hip hop and R&B culture, a mixtape often describes a self-produced or independently released album issued free of charge to gain publicity or avoid possible copyright infringement. However, the term has been applied to a number of releases published for profit in the 2010s, and the line between a release billed as a mixtape and one referred to as a studio album or extended play has ...
