The bits of Allihoopa that escaped
A directory of surviving Allihoopa Mixtape exports, artist archives, republished collections and documented shutdown-era recoveries found across the old web.
Allihoopa shut down in January 2019 after giving users a downloadable “Mixtape” of their work. Some people put those exports back online. Some rebuilt collections elsewhere. Some only left enough breadcrumbs to prove their music made it out. This is an index of what I can actually verify, not a claim to own or mirror anybody else's work.
Raw shutdown exports
These are the closest thing to fossils in amber: original Allihoopa Mixtape exports, or public copies retaining the export structure and metadata the service handed users before shutdown.
Original Mixtape export
@DiscoMcDisco
The preserved Allihoopa Mixtape export behind this archive, including catalogue metadata, audio, artwork, comments and Figure project files.
Original exported dump/alltihop.json and assets are retained as the archival source for the Music Archive.
Original Mixtape export
@Heistergand
A live copy of the original Allihoopa Mixtape interface with 158 pieces, 772 likes, 256 comments and 9,626 plays.
The page retains the generated Allihoopa Mixtape presentation and 'Made with love by the Allihoopa team' footer.
Original Mixtape export
@HeistergandSamples
A second preserved Allihoopa Mixtape identity hosted by Heistergand, with 67 pieces and the original archive statistics.
Listed alongside the main Heistergand archive in the site's Allihoopa Archive section.
Original Mixtape export
@bensmithett
The official Allihoopa Mixtape export and surviving Figure source files published to GitHub at shutdown.
The repository preserves dump/alltihop.json identifying username bensmithett; Ben's January 2019 farewell post explicitly links his Mixtape.
Curated and reconstructed archives
Not untouched Mixtape exports, but clearly documented Allihoopa-era material that artists or collaborators deliberately republished, curated or finished after the platform disappeared.
Curated archive
@The Memory Club
A hand-curated preservation of Allihoopa originals and collaborations from 2016–2018, retaining credits, stories and collaborator names.
Two dedicated catalogue pages explicitly document original Allihoopa material and collaborations.
Surviving release
@n8napalm
The 2016 Bandcamp album The Allihoopa Project, built from Figure material and still explicitly connected to the artist's former Allihoopa identity.
The release description says it was named for the website connected to Figure and links the former allihoopa.com/n8napalm profile.
Curated archive
@GMM
A 2021 Bandcamp republication of a large body of older Figure and Reason pieces, many explicitly identified as having been uploaded to Allihoopa.
The release notes state that most tracks were made in Figure/Reason and uploaded to the artist's Allihoopa profile before shutdown.
Curated archive
@ix
A surviving personal music archive with dated 2016–2018 recordings, including an Allihoopa remix preserved with provenance notes.
The 2018 track Broken Record (thin mix) is explicitly described as a remix of a track from Allihoopa.
Recovered continuation
@dotjot
A post-shutdown continuation trail: unfinished Allihoopa remix projects survived locally, were later identified and completed, then uploaded to SoundCloud.
The artist described the recovery process publicly in a Reason community discussion.
Curated archive
@tripjazz
A surviving 'Allihoopa Time Machine' trail of Figure pieces on Freesound, alongside later BandLab uploads explicitly titled as Allihoopa Mixtapes.
Multiple Freesound pieces by tripjazz are labelled Allihoopa Time Machine and Made in Figure; a 2020 BandLab upload by Dmitar Jovanović is titled Allihoopa Mixtape 05.
Known exports, whereabouts unknown
There is credible public evidence that an artist downloaded their Allihoopa material before shutdown, but I have not found a public copy of the archive itself. These are leads, not pretend discoveries.
Known export
@Ilene Lakai
A documented example of an Allihoopa artist who downloaded an extensively large Mixtape before shutdown, although the export itself has not been found publicly.
A later biographical account explicitly records that she downloaded the Mixtape before the platform disappeared.
Archive itself not publicly found.
The search continues
The shutdown scattered one community into personal sites, GitHub repositories, Bandcamp pages, SoundCloud accounts, hard drives and forgotten ZIP files. When another authentic survivor turns up, it belongs here with its provenance attached.
