The long-running, much-loved mixes database MixesDB is to be shut down for good at the end of this month.
A post shared via the database’s website confirmed that the platform would go offline on June 29, and that its entire database would no longer be accessible from that date onwards.
The post read: “The website code is completely outdated and cannot be run on modern servers anymore. The code ran into a dead corner and is not update-able anymore without months of enormous coding effort. And since ads went towards zero months ago and donation models failed years ago, I decided it’s better to shut it down now than later.
“I know many of us have put weeks of effort into this database, but this is where we stand. Download or copy everything you need before June 29th!”
Launched in December 2006, MixesDB’s database has been built up via the contributions of its users. It catalogues DJ mixes, radio shows, podcasts and other set recordings, often alongside full or partial tracklists.
