I started collecting records around 1985 and DJing since 1991. I drop many different styles; Oldskool Hardcore, Drum & Bass, Reggae, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Heavy Soul & Funk, Jazz, Rare Groove, Northern Soul, Psych, Dusty Breaks, Disco and a bit of House & UK Garage. 
I got into producing tunes back in 2004, after finally getting some kit together.
I always add an element of Oldskool flavour to my mixes, just so you know that I know where all this originated!

On this page you'll be getting my remixes, blends, original tunes and a few select mixes. If you want to check out some other mixes, they're up on MixCloud right here:

This is where I post all my sets recorded over the years...
...Thanks for checking in and I hope you enjoy the tune dem!!!

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
