About the CD:
What more can I say about this opening track on the Sasha mix, the classic bird/owl noise just makes my brain explode with rave like 'what the fuck is this' questions... This disc was part of a triple MixMag pack I bought (I also bought 2 other packs) but this CD in particular was on repeat for a lot of my late teens.

The second track, Rave Generator takes it even higher and the quality is endless right through the Mackintosh CD as well. I highly recommend everyone to check out this mix, another 10/10 and needs as much press as possible. Turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

Essential Mix 2000-10-15 - Rhythm Masters

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.
