It says:

Oops! It looks like the mix you are trying to listen to is not currently available. In the meantime, check out these playlists.

Do you have other examples?

It's a countermeasure against throttling detection of 8tracks.com. See #2310 for discussion.

I'll try to update the test, while #7350 should be resolved first.
