One of the DeepDownMusic 'aficionados' and Manor Born resident DJ. The other half of Wharrier & Oxley. Played at The Groovebox, Shindig, Southport Weekender and The Loveboat. 20 years in the business. Honoured to have warmed up for the likes of Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Phil Asher, Dimitri From Paris, Danny Krivit, Tony Humphries, Bugz in the Attic and Unabombers, to name but a few. On a persistent hunt for everything that is soul drenched electronica, from electro funk and nu-jazz, through dirty disco and deep house to smooth techno and afro-beats . . . However, not one for pigeon holes and don't really know where I'd like to fit in!? . . . But I quite like that! . . . Please enjoy a selection of DJ mixes and original tracks of various styles, tastes and influences. (OWN PRODUCTIONS COMING VERY SOON)

Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.

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. 

For any CD recommendations, bookings, mixes or feedback you can catch me as @asapgareth on Instagram. Or you can check our my design work at www.acid.works
