With a grounding in the first days of the house movement in the UK, Lee has been playing, mixing and producing electronic dance music for over 25 years, first spinning vinyl in the illegal party scene on the island of Jersey. He moved to Swansea in the early nineties with residencies at Club Passion and the renowned Strictly Groovy, one of the first weekly house nights in Wales.
It was here in Martha's Vineyard he teamed up with Mike Truman and Chris Healings and after a few releases under other pseudonyms, the trio became the breakbeat house phenomenon Hybrid. Lee worked with the pair for over 8 years producing scores of remixes, writing on the bands first studio album Wide Angle and working with and mixing alongside the largest names of the dance music movement. 
Later collaborating with brother in law Matt Wilson as Bunker, he continued firmly anchored in the breaks infused house genre. (Peace and love, Matt, you went too soon - we miss you so much)

I started DJing in 1988 as a Hip Hop DJ but I was soon captivated by the Acid House movement & started playing clubs.
I was very lucky to play at lots of clubs in front of amazing crowds. I called it a day as a full time career in about 1993 but will still see me playing more regularly these days.

In a now long forgotten world, many generations ago, a bird like shape emerged from wooded darkness, floating and fluttering, drifting and dreaming. Backlit by a bright glow of iridescent light, the undecipherable form wore a dazzling golden mask. Its long beak swooped down like an inverted horn and since then, people have referred to the mythical being simply as Claptone...

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.
