Our friends from the UK-based blog Noise Porn are doing something amazing this summer. They're embarking on 10,000 mile drive from London to Mongolia, crossing Europe, central Asia and culminating with a dash across the Gobi Desert.

WOW.

If that's not crazy enough, they have over 800 hours of drive time to kill! As these guys are music nuts, they've started the Mongolian Mixtape Marathon to collect monetary donations alongside DJ mixes from around the world. Every donation received will go towards charity as well as repairs to the vehicle they're driving, which is also being donated.

So how do you come in? Hit up the website and make a donation of at least £1, then drop in all your info and submit your DJ mix. The guys receive this, put all the mixes together and listen to them all the way to Mongolia. Not only that, all the submitted mixes are going to be available to the world to download and stream via the Mixtape Marathon podcast.

We're really excited to be a part of this amazing project and have been working alongside our friends at Solution Nine for the past few months to design and develop the very technology behind the Mixtape Marathon project podcast and website. Our goal is to make this the largest and most successful mixtape project for charity ever.

It's really rare that an endeavor for charity like this is seen in our corner of the music world, so get your ass in gear and donate a mix!
