Special shout out to Thunder & Joy for the recommendation here. I remember Chris Duckenfield getting booked by the Ward 10 lasts in Sunderland in the early 00's and after going onto hear a few more of his mixes it was clear he was a heavyweight that lurked firmly in the underground but resonated certainly across the UK and Europe.

Here is what DJHistory.com had to say...
'Chris Duckenfield is responsible for some of the best house music to ever be made in the UK. Under a slew of aliases he's released house bombs as Swag and abstract electronica as RAC on Warp Records. He has owned two record labels and now in a world of ever increasing digital music domination, he has started a vinyl distribution label. Born and raised in Sheffield, the Duck is also one ofthe most respected DJs in the world, playing everywhere from Fabric in London and Panorama bar in Berlin, to small intimate parties in Australia. The man is certainly made of steel.'

Yuta Suzuki works as a DJ/producer/remixer based in Tokyo, Japan. He was fascinated by techno and electro-pop music when he was a student, got a synthesizer, and started making tracks. In his late teens, Yuta attended an outdoor rave, which led him to club culture. He developed his skills by DJing and making club tracks.

Yuta has released EPs and remixes on labels such as LBT (Japan), Reimei Music (Japan), Japonesque Musique (Japan), and Crumpled Music (Russia). He has a track record of selling out 500 records and ranking 17th place on the Beatport genre chart. While his sound is not to everyone's taste, he has attracted a loyal following of listeners. Yuta is also well known for his sound engineering - he has worked as a mixing and mastering engineer for many artists he interacts with.

Yuta has been working on music without any specific genre in recent years, such as Chillout, Downtempo, House, etc. His consistent policy is to evoke the listener's imagination through music and provide a moment of warmth and peace.

DJ and producer first and foremost...

Bio:
London based Isaac Reuben is a DJ and Producer that’s difficult to pigeonhole. Playing across the UK from a young age, Isaac is adept at reading a crowd, both on warm up duties and later in the night. Isaac is currently both resident and founder of a UK based vinyl only night, centred on DIY club spaces and channelling that pre internet age energy.

A prolific producer, his music has been featured in legendary mixes such as the Essential Mix and the fabric mix series. He’s also a regular on the esteemed Hotflush label and its subdivisions, with productions ranging from driving Techno, leftfield Bass, to vocal-inflected House and has provided remixes for artists such as Glaskin, SCB and DART.

Isaac’s expansive record collection is drawn on regularly outside the club environment, with appearances on Rinse FM, Threads and Loose FM. He’s also now producing and hosting the newly revamped bi-weekly Hotflush on Air, and as effortlessly as he does often, will step away from harder club driven music in favour of hitherto unheard rarities alongside the best in new

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.

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.
