ONE LOVE - ONE LAZER!

KitKat made friends with the ones and twos in two thousand and two by teaching herself to mix on a set of belt driven Numarks.  

When asked to play her first show in 2005, they needed a name to put on the flyer.  After spending a few grueling hours chatting with her mom, (her biggest fan and vise versa) the old nickname "Kitkat" came up.  Mom asked what kinda music she played.  At the time she was on a strict diet of breakbeats, so mom sang the "gimme a break" jingle and....well the rest is history. 

Since her debut in 2005 she has rocked numerous events, outdoor festivals, co-created "Chubby Beats" with Dr Jones-a weekly club night at the Lotus Sound Lounge in Vancouver, and was part of the UK based NSB Radio family for 7 amazing years. 

Her high energy bass driven sets really are a treat. A lucky few have even seen her mix with her feet!

Great Lakes Audio Recordings is the brainchild of label head honcho Mark Farina, creator of Mushroom Jazz and legendary House Music DJ. Since his days at Gramaphone Records in Chicago in the 90s, Mark has always been a creative trailblazer in his approach and musical execution. Whether it was making handmade mixtapes featuring his artwork or mixing genres to eventually come up with his signature Mushroom Jazz sound, Mark has built his career on presenting a very personal vision of what a DJ can be. 
Great Lakes Audio Recordings is an extension of that drive to bring only the best in underground music to DJ’s and the masses alike. The label’s focus is squarely on promoting the work of producers from around the world that share that funky, groovy, soulful, and Chicago influenced sound fans have come to expect from Mark.  The Farina sound will be represented to the fullest on Great Lakes Audio Recordings with Mark curating every release from the music to the artwork.  Label Manager Jerry Walker (AKA J-Dub) has partnered and toured with Farina over the last 2 decades and has joined him to help create this new space for producers, visual artists, and fans to join together to share their love of House. Drawing inspiration from the history of the DIY culture that built this now global scene, Great Lakes Audio Recordings will be firmly rooted in the spirit of the loft parties, warehouse raves, and indie record stores that gave birth to this musical movement.
The label plans to continue to work with artists from it’s previous incarnation (GLA) such as Demuir, Kid Enigma, Ed Nine, Jazzman Wax , Iban Montoro, Riki Inocente, Ed The Spread and DJ Sneak while also promoting the work of new label artists like Javi Bora, Andres Boned, and Todd Omotani.  We’ll also be bringing new merchandise to market featuring our amazing new logo and artwork from releases and events. Our social media presence will be strong and constantly updated with fresh content found on our new Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Soundcloud, and YouTube pages.  Ed Nine & Kid Enigma, Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax, Matt & Ricky, and JT Donaldson kick started the label beginning in 2018 gearing up steadily into 2019. Future releases include releases from Bonetti & Alek Soltirov, Iz, Kid Enigma, Chris Nazuka, and the man himself, Mark Farina. Stay tuned for more mixes from our red hot GLA Recordings Artist Sessions 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. 

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

Leo NXT formerly (Roast Beatz), once rooted in hip-hop, has evolved into a versatile producer and DJ at the intersection of Hip House and Jackin House. Starting out as a hip-hop DJ, his early years were defined by scratching and crate digging. However, as his journey took him through vibrant club scenes across the UK and beyond, he discovered a deep-seated love for house music. For years, this passion remained in the background, but over the last five years, it has fully ignited.

Blending elements of hip-hop’s raw energy with house music’s infectious grooves, Leo NXT has crafted a unique sound. His production seamlessly merges these two cultures, resulting in tracks that sit comfortably between both worlds. As his tempos have increased, so too have his DJ skills—adapting to infuse low-key scratching and live remixing while keeping the energy on the dancefloor intact.

Now, with a refined focus, Leo NXT pushes boundaries, bridging genres while staying true to both cultures.

"Mixes are time capsules of sound.  Each capturing a moment in time that will not be repeated the same way.  Each mix is meant to transport the listener in their own time machine to their own destination.  These are soundtracks for daily living..."
