Troydon & Craig Massiv formed a friendship & musical connection in their coming-of-age years as deep house DJs in the unique underground club scene of post-Apartheid Johannesburg, South Africa. These early experiences - that saw them behind the decks of dance floors of both exclusive club parties & gritty township taverns - helped form a sonic sensibility that has been integral to their successes as individual producers.
Finally, thanks more to technology than geography - Troydon (currently residing in L.A.) & Craig (still Johannesburg based)have collaborated on a project that best represents this shared history: the result is Loskop.

Chambray is the alias of André Rost who has gone on to deliver some massive dancefloor heaters full of punchy house tracks such as "Anew" and "Rub". The Berlin based producer signed to Jimmy Edgar’s Ultramajic imprint back in 2014 & since 2017 he's releasing tracks independently on record-labels like Dirtybird, Unknown To The Unknown, W&O Street Tracks, &Friends and so on. As an artist and producer Chambray experimenting a lot with new sounds, song structures and workflows to develop himself. Strongly influenced by techno and ghetto house, accompanies by african rhythms, his unique dealing with staccato stabs and special placing of ad-libs makes his sound distinctive. He remixed artists like Boys Noize, Amtrac, Panteros666 (just to name a few) and collaborated with Laurent Garnier, Truncate, DJ Haus, VONDA7 & Kill Frenzy. His most memorable day in his career as musician was when he got back in 2016 a personal invitation from Richie Hawtin to perform due to his PLAYdifferently mixer launch at Boiler Room Berlin.

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

A 20 year veteran to the Dance music scene but a life long performer, Angelica de No is no stranger to the music industry. The American born multi-cultural beauty (Spanish, Moroccan, Slavic and Czech), and only daughter of world renowned flamenco singer Angel de No, grew up surrounded by all genres of music. Being raised in a Jewish and Catholic home, Angelica was exposed to a variety of traditions, beliefs and philosophies which led her to dive deeper into spiritual and theological studies all of which lends to her profoundly meaningful lyrics and poetry. While Angelica first started her recording journey in 1997 as a reference track singer, she was quickly converted to a featured artist upon first meeting Guido Osorio in 2001. It didn’t take her long to make an impact. In 2003, shortly after that chance meeting, Angelica hit the Billboard charts for the first time with her club classic Dangerous. Over the course of her career, Angelica has collaborated with the likes of Guido Osorio (DJ Guido of Razor and Guido), Antranig, Cevin Fisher, Erick Morillo, Exacta, Tech Us Out, TORRE & LORDS, Dj Gomi and none other than the legendary David Morales, just to name a few.
