Home of my own mixes - predominantly jungle/hardcore with the odd bit of D&B, plus eclectic sample-digging, breaks and hip-hop, techno & electronica. 

Pre-2001, all mixes vinyl; Post-2016, all mixes digital (DJay 2); Post-2018, Ableton Live. Why? Why not?
I've got an old skool DJ's mentality, early influences ranging from Sublove, Ratty, Randall & Hype to Coldcut, DJ Juice, MK & Primo.  In the early 00s I turned my back on D&B, retired my turntables in favour of family/work commitments, and got into funk, soul, reggae and so on... a lot of this driven by curiosity around the sample roots of hardcore and jungle.  Forward another decade and an early mid-life crisis saw me messing around with virtual decks on my phone, and later acquiring a vinyl ripper, with one vision in mind: making mixes.
Although I'm partial to the odd DJay or vinyl mix when I get the chance, the progression into Ableton Live was a simple means to an end.  My ideas stretch further than the limitations of my physical collection and real-time mixing, and by sequencing I can pick, choose, chip away and structure mixes at my leisure. Which I do... a lot :)

Wait, there's more ... an absolute stack of classic golden era/old skool hip-hop/turntablism, jungle and d&b, hardcore, techno and house mixes retrieved from my dusty tape & CD archives.  This includes (by my reckoning) the most exhaustive collections of classic Full Cycle and Sublove Galaxy Radio shows, live Ruffneck Ting jungle tapes, loads of studio & compilation mixes, all manner of rave tapes, and so on. 

Have fun, spread the love :)

She’s brought magnetic energy to the country’s most cherished festivals, including Splendour in the Grass (2022), Spilt Milk (2022), and Wildlands (NYE 23/24 & 24/25), solidifying her reputation as a standout performer.

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.

Thank you so much for listening to my mixes.
For over 30 years I have been playing, what I believe is, quality music that is packed with soul, energy, diversity, melody, and a funky groove.

I have an eclectic taste, which is always evolving, but one thing remains, a passion for making people feel great with a customised music selection.

Starting in 1991 I was drawn into the UK rave culture and became an immediate lover of the energy of it's futuristic music. 

Happy hardcore and drum and bass is where it began but I never really loved jungle so moved to uplifting house, trance and hard house in my early 20s. This style had the power and uplifting melodies that I always have loved. 

After a few early gigs in London playing at Sunny Side Up and Ghost, my friend DJ Basil and I established a local monthly party called Ballistic which allowed us to play loud music to our friends until dawn. The night ran for 6 years and was always fun.  I was lucky enough to also play regularly in my home town of Folkestone at The Music Factory, Capel Court, Lydd Watersports and La Parisienne.

I moved to Australia in 2002 with the intention of staying for 12 months...and stayed 10 years!

I played trance for a couple of years but then got bored of that sound and was left wondering what would fill the gap. After spinning drum and bass vinyl in my garage to keep me engaged, I ended up playing house music with my friends and started developing a taste for the different genres including progressive, electro, jackin and then eventually tech and deep house. 

Sydney's clubbing scene created the opportunity for me to become the resident for the unique Shipwrecked and Gorgeous events, Bondi's The Bucket List plus bookings for the legendary High Flyers and Monkey Tennis parties. 

I moved to Bali in 2011 where I ended up being a resident DJ for the world class Karma Beach Club, at Karma Kandara, through to Sept 2012, playing over 100 times on their incredible beach along with 50 other parties for other venues.

Returning to Sydney in 2014 I was the Saturday night resident DJ at Bondi Radio based in the funky Neighbourhood bar in Bondi Beach. I have also been lucky enough to play lots of unique house, rooftop, villa, clifftop, park and boat parties. I love it and am grateful for every chance to play.

Continuing my travels in 2015 created opportunities to play a few times at Goa's best house music event Leopard Valley, and some sets in London, followed by a dozen gigs for Sublime in Guatemala's beautiful Lake Atitlan and a cheeky set in southern Mexico. But every New Years Eve I am blessed to be able to return to Sydney to play major events on the harbour for the biggest fireworks event possible, and this year will be my 8th year in a row. I was travelling in Sri Lanka with big plans for 2020 but like everybody else had to hit pause...but not on the music :) I recorded 200 mixes during the 2 years i stayed in the UK and now have returned to Bali to take up my residency at Karma Beach Club and picking up a new residency at the Twin Fin after party for Single Fin every Sunday in surf mecca Uluwatu. I love it as much as I ever have,, the music is so good, I just cant stop :) So expect new mixes every month covering all of the styles I love.

SoundCloud is a dream as it allows me to share some of the brilliant music being produced around the world by people we will often never know, and who will probably never be rich from it, but through their imagination and technical abilities, create hugely positive energy on dancefloors and in peoples bodies, in countless numbers. A big shout out to the very many talented DJs and energetic Promoters who I have been lucky to work with and become friends with over the years. Thanks for your support.
