Compact cassette ushered in the democratisation of music and sparked the arrival of the mix-tape

Zack Taylor, director of the film, who interviewed Ottens, told: “Lou wanted music to be portable and accessible. Cassettes taught us how to use our voice, even when the message came from someone else’s songs, compiled painstakingly on a mixtape.”
