The Minimal Wave label was founded by Veronica Vasicka in 2005 to create a network for synth wave enthusiasts and promote 80s electronic music via an online archive and vinyl releases. The label specializes in high-quality vinyl pressings of electronic artists from all over the world. Our sub-label Cititrax focuses on modern and experimental electronic dance music. Aside from limited edition vinyl releases, both labels' catalogs are available digitally as well.

Hey, Gareth here, I'm a graphic designer who start designing for clubs, parties, and labels in the late 90s. Back then, mix CDs were the holy grail of both design and music. I loved them.

But I wasn't the only one, mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties and lives, for everyone. Yet in today's internet age, the art form has been lost (or just changed) to 2-3 hour online mixes and streaming videos, which just don't create the same magic your CD collection did. Just 60 minutes of music and incredible artwork.

The Classic Mix CD Series celebrates these discs, their soundtrack, their box art and your memories. We hope you enjoy it.

Also, we try to help you find and buy them again by sharing Discogs links on all featured CDs and or direct links to labels where possible.

* We fully support labels and artists. If any disc creates a copyrighting issue let me know and it will be immediately removed.

About Gareth:
Digital creative type, gamer, music lover and occasional DJ. Currently living between Dubai & Seoul after setting sail from Sunderland in 2010. As a young designer, club and music culture was the driving force for his work, producing artwork for local club nights and record labels in the North East of England. In particular, DJ mix cds and their packaging were always his 'holy grail of design', especially those from Renaissance, Global Underground and Good Looking Records. It's a pleasure to share these discs back with people and they still influence our tastes to this day.

Having only made their debut in 2022 and with an ABC Rage ‘Wild One’ featured video, plays on Triple J’s ‘Home and Hosed’ and ‘2023 with Richard Kingsmill’ programs and a support slot on Japanese rock ’n’ roll royalty Guitar Wolf’s sellout 2023 Australian & NZ tour under their rapidly expanding belt, GLOB have wasted no time in making their presence felt with no signs of slowing in 2024. 

Locked in due to the pandemic during the bitter Melbourne winter of 2020, high school sweethearts Thomas James and Lily Sawenko bunkered down and found solace in what had always soothed them, music, nature and animation. It was the latter love that inspired what would become their new musical identity, GLOB, named after the four-faced deity from Mars in Adventure Time, Grob Gob Glob Grod. Energised by the prospect of a new musical project, the still, quiet days of the lockdown saw Thomas and Lily tinkering away at demos of new songs with a fervour and productivity like never before. Following the easing of lockdown restrictions, the demos were brought to producer Michael Badger (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Amyl and The Sniffers) where recording for what would ultimately become GLOB’s debut LP began in earnest.

2024 will see the release of subsequent singles from GLOB with a full-length LP to follow.
