We are 100!

100 - Laurent Garnier 'Laboratoire Mix' - Disc One - Recommended by Red Rack'em (1996)


'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

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... :-)

Absence of Facts label head Orion returns to his own imprint, delivering a potent three-track statement of raw, hypnotic techno. Opener Late Arrival builds a pressurized atmosphere, driven by a deep, pulsing rhythm and a stripped-down aesthetic. The EP continues with Verentia, which pushes further into immersive sound design, weaving a web of psychedelic textures and hypnotic patterns. Closing the release, Comatose lives up to its name with a heavy, relentless groove. Its broken-beat character and somatic low-end make it a formidable tool for the deepest hours of the night

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
