Starting on the 1st of June 2017, cassette tapes (and merchandising) were mailed to prominent individuals in the No Man's Sky (Reddit) online community. They contained music and hidden in a spectograph the word "portal".
The 9th casette, received by youtuber Cobra, connects the cassettes with the Waking Titan ARG. The timing matched with a date given there, and the cassette box contains a logo from the atlas corporation that is a part of that arg. The B.Side of that casette also contains the word "JOURNEY" which is a solution for a wakingtitan puzzle.
The full story of the Waking Titan Arg can be read on the Gamedetectives Wiki page for Waking Titan.
