Wayne Houghton (Good2Groove) – A Master of Disco & House

With over 25 years in the game, Wayne Houghton—better known as Good2Groove—is a powerhouse DJ from Halifax whose passion for disco and house music runs deep. His journey, which began in the mid-90s, has seen him share the decks with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Joey Negro, E Smoove, Graeme Park, CJ Mackintosh, Groove Assassin, Ron Basejam, Victor Simonelli, Inland Knights, Saison, Ron Carroll, Terry Farley, Lenny Fontana, Bobby & Steve, Dennis Ferrer, Lisa Loud, Danny Rampling and Richard Earnshaw, to name just a few.

A Pioneer in the Scene

Wayne’s love for soulful, deep groove sounds led him to co-found the Sneaky Disco podcast, a platform that has exploded in popularity, racking up over 500,000 plays and earning the respect of heavyweight DJs and producers worldwide.

Not content with just curating sounds online, he took things to the dancefloor by co-founding The Get Up, a highly acclaimed house music night that has become a staple in Sowerby Bridge and recently expanded to Dean Clough. Known for its electric atmosphere and top-tier music selection, The Get Up has firmly established itself as one of Yorkshire’s go-to house music events.

Re-Groove – Pushing the Scene Forward

Wayne’s latest venture, Re-Groove, is rapidly making waves. Built on a foundation of quality house music, the event not only showcases international talent but also strongly supports local DJs and up-and-coming artists, proving Wayne’s dedication to growing the scene from the ground up.

A DJ That Delivers

Whether he’s setting the mood with deep house warm-ups or taking the crowd on a journey through soulful and disco-infused sets, Good2Groove always delivers. His ability to read the room, craft unforgettable musical experiences, and keep dancefloors moving has made him one of the most respected names in the house music scene.

And with his ever-growing influence, Wayne Houghton isn’t just playing music—he’s shaping the future of house and disco.

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

Kitchen Island Discs does not focus on any specific Genre of Music. We celebrate all Music, across all Genres and all Decades & our selections come from the People who love the Music. Our Ethos is to recognise and honour all the people around the world who have a deep passion for music and to celebrate what it is they choose to listen to & we have a fantastic team of Resident DJs who skilfully select the best tracks posted to create the mixes you see here

We also have some well-known names who have supported us on our journey: Black Legend, DJ Spen, Victor Simonelli, Michael Grey, K-Klass, Russell Small (Phats & Small), Eddie Amador are just a fewl to mention. You can find all in our ‘Guest Mix Playlist’

Enjoy :)
