The problem
There is a potential softlock in Geocity, where the quest giver for the "Drop the bass" quest won't accept the second mixtape. I got my game into this state by sequence breaking and finding the mixtape near Furrobotto's store before the other one, or even completing Phisherman's quest that actually gives access to that area.
The solution
The following instructions describe how I have fixed my save.

WARNING: You are about to edit your registry. If you do this wrong you could mess up your save or your whole computer.

1. Press Win + R, type "regedit" (without the quotes) into the input and confirm.
2. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dynamic Media Triad\The Broken Reality". This is the save location for the game.
2.5. OPTIONAL: Back up your save game by right-clicking the directory, pressing "Export" and saving it somewhere.
3. Find the "geocitydb_<randomnumber>" key, right-click it and select the "Modify..." option.
4. Scroll down until you find the bit which says: "Variable["mixtape2"]=false;" and change it to "Variable["mixtape2"]=true;". To be safe, make sure you have preserved the one empty space before the next entry.
5. Press OK and you're done.


After doing the above, I was able to give the second tape to the DJ and continue the quest. The texture inside the building appeared to bug out when I have finished the quest, but everything appears to be working otherwise.

Enjoy the rest of the game!

Thank you so much! Picked up the mixtape way before I even unlocked the quest, thankfully was an easy fix thanks to you. :)
