About the CD:
The VERY FIRST house CD I ever owned. And essentially the first time I ever listened to PROPER house music. I remember thinking as a 15 year old kid 'This is a bit slow'... but after a few plays I was forever a house head. And with all time classics like MK's 'Always, 24 Hour Experience's 'Together, Happy Clappers 'I Believe', Joey Musaphia's 'Cover Ups Volume One' and the gorgeous 'Total Control ft. Caroldene Black 'You Took My Lovin' who can blame me... Maybe some of you guys remember this CD too, if so... here's to the memories.

105 - Cream Live mixed by Paul Oakenfold & Justin Robertson - Disc Two (1995)


'This halloween Disco Deviant are proud to herald a welcome return to the decks for one of UK's dance music's pioneers, none other than Paul Daley. 

A huge influence in the early 90's progressive house scene Paul Daley made up one half of Leftfield and their output on the Hard Hands label was in every DJ's box at the time. 
Albums followed and their music featured on some of the most iconic films and adverts of our era, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, GO and that amazing 'Surfers' Guinness ad to name a few.

Playing a vinyl only set for us in the intimate surrounds of 10 Below this should be an amazing night.

We are excited to introduce another fine talent, this time in the shape of the Eskimo Twins. 
Recently lauded as an integral player in the 'Primitive' scene by mixmag, followed and supported by DJs and club nights, including Weatherall, Avery, Smagghe, ALFOS, Wax-On & Disco Deviant. They have a unique sound and style particularly suited to our ears. 

Pablo Contraband will be warming things up on the night setting the tone for what lays ahead. 

Only 50 tickets left so don't hang about or you'll miss out on a real treat. https://discodeviant.ticketabc.com/events/halloween-paul-daley/ '

PAUL DALEY (ex-Leftfield) DJ MIX 4 DISCO DEVIANT OCT 2014

@RalphLawson from @2020Vision made his Sub Club debut on the very same night as a young Glaswegian DJ called Domenic Cappello in 1992.  He has since been a regular guest over the years while Domenic went on to become the resident DJ for Subculture. It seems fitting that both 2020Vision and Subculture celebrate 20 years in the game in 2014 as they have both stuck to their guns and consistently provided people with sounds from the underground over those years. 

This mix was recorded the week before 2020Vision brought their Content tour to Subculture on October 4th with Lawson and Ejeca taking over the controls. Lawson dives into his memories of times spent in The Subbie over those years and pulls out a selection of bona fide classics that have rocked the club. Recorded in one take to get a live feel. You can read more about Lawson’s Sub Club years and get a full track listing over at his blog: bit.ly/1rzeNiI

Planet Perfecto 206 ft. Paul Oakenfold & Dave Seaman / Markus Schulz

This is a recording of the music I played on Dec 26th 2014 at Coda in Toronto for the 10th annual Old School Boxing Day party.

I dropped many of the tunes from the late 90s / early 2000s that, to me, were THE biggest house music anthems of the time. Of course, with only an hour set I could only squeeze in so many tunes (I might just have to revisit this series a few more times to completely showcase my influences).

I realize that many house music veterans have heard these tunes a million times, but others from the new generation will be listening with fresh ears for the first time. Turn it up. Enjoy. These are my roots...
 
Tracklist:

01. My Feeling (acapella) - Junior Jack
02. Music Sounds Better - Stardust
03. Gym Tonic - Bob Sinclar
04. Da Hype - Junior Jack
05. Disco Babes From Outer Space - Babe Instinct
06. Funk Phenomena - Armand Van Helden
07. Digital Doom - Hatiras
08. At Night - Shakedown
09. Intro - Fred Falke, Alan Braxe
10. Get Get Down - Paul Johnson

Old Skool House Music Anthems Mix - Hatiras

From the liner notes:

"The assocation between myself and Cream is not an obvious one, But the objective is to help break down the categorization within dance music. This mix hopefully gives a different perspective into another side of dance culture. Mixed by James Lavelle, additional mix, production and scratches by the Phyconauts. Mix down engineer - John Lyons, edits assistance by Richie Fermie. Recorded and fucked up at Dos Shot Studios/Mo' Wax London. "

***This came out before web reviews, however, IMHO, it's one of the most badass and technically accomplished mixes of its time.

The pic is an actual scan, the Cream logo is embossed and the light gold and gray print doesn't show up very well, but it's Cream for  sure... :-)

About the CD:
001 of the Classic Mix CD collection. This mix immediately sprung to mind and an major contender for all time favourite mix CD. (It's seems like a few of you guys think the same). A hands in the air, feel good garage (and house) banger with many many memories attached. I think I bought this in 1997, two years after leaving school, going to college, working at McDonalds's and clubbing up and down the country once a month alongside weekly/daily night outs in Sunderland. Great times... PM me on Facebook if you had the CD and looking for a download.

About the CD:
002 of the Classic Mix CD Series and yet another absolute stand out classic. After getting into house at around 15, I guess my only source of info was Danny Rampling's seminal LGDP (Love Groove Dance Party) Saturday nights on Radio 1. However I can't remember Carter getting much coverage on there, yet he, much like Danny Tenaglia seemed to have a level of legend unlike most. This CD cemented my love of house music with an all might smash in the face. The tempo, the bass, the disco, the filters, and fucked up vocals... this was heavyweight. Nothing could compete at the time. I'll always remember driving to college with my 2 nerdy class mates and insisting they played this CD in the car. I'm raving in the back and they are like "What the fuck is this shit, turn it down!". It's with immense pleasure that DJ's like Sneak and Carter seem to be booking all the massive clubs and parties again. I'm not so keen on the whole 'I'm a House Gangster' vibe... but this is as bad as it gets.

About the CD:
So I was originally going to upload the very first mix CD I EVER bought... (Well actually won from a competition on Wear FM's tuesday night dance show). That CD was the massively influential 'Havin'It in the UK 1' and pretty much the first piece of house music I ever owned. I can remember thinking 'This is a bit slow' being a rave a jungle fan at the time... but I was already aware of housier sounds through some of my uncles holiday mix tapes. So i listened to it, and fell in love with the classics which many people know today. Tracks like MK's 'Always', 24 Hour Experience's "Together', Happy Clapper's 'I Believe' etc etc. So I thought I'd upload another CD from the series 'Stateside' mixes. A more garage feel, and massively relevant right now with alot of DJ's like BICEP, Tensnake etc digging deep back into this older original house sound. Massively feel good, massively dance floor, hands in the air house music. Enjoy!

About the CD:
005 of the 'Classic Mix CD' collection brings a much slower affair. From the superb 'Back To Mine' CD series. The first I purchased was actually Danny Tenaglia's disc, which I bought out of curiosity being a fan of his house DJ sets. That disc almost made it here, but it was the Groove Armada release which really got hammered on my old Sony stereo. No other disc reminds me of lazy summer sundays more than this. And it was really the first musical selection that steered me towards collecting and playing a mix of music all together. Going from A Tribe Called Quest, into Barry White's incredible "Playing Your Game Baby" then house and other genre's coming in.... really resonated with me and elevated the way I put music together. Both listening to and playing out. A truly seminal release.

About the CD:
005 of the Classic Mix CD Series on Soundcloud. Another from 1996 which is probably lesser well known and even lesser played, but without doubt one of the most memorable CDs in my collection. It comes from the sublime MixMag Live series and features Roger Sanchez aka S-Man when he was at the height of his powers (or just approaching them) and the legendary DJ Pierre. I always remember tracks like "Fill Me" and "Time to Stop" from Sanchez and the euphoric "Freestyle Groove" by Full Swing... engulfing me in the US house sound. Seminal music which will never be forgotten.

 Dj Bruce Lee's OLD SCHOOL HOUSE SUPER MIX

OLD SCHOOL HOUSE SUPER MIX

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.
