Tall Paul & Seb Fontaine - Cream Anthems - 1998

'Swingersclub EP' is the first solo EP from Alex Ranzino on his own ‘Swingersclub’ label. The EP features five tracks that smoothly merge house elements with driving techno grooves.
There is a clear musical connection running through all five tracks, but the EP still offers plenty of variety. Tracks like 'Groofer', 'Swinger' and 'The DJ' build towards powerful, climactic moments. While 'Sweeper' and 'It Is Happening' deliver steady loopy-grooves which perfectly fit the afterhours.
The 'Swingersclub' label functions as an independent recordlabel, allowing Alex Ranzino to release a steady stream of his own music which reflects his vision of electronic music.

063 - An Introspective Of House - 3rd Dimension mixed by Tony De Vit (Disc 2)

Sasha @ Chuff Chuff 'Grand Winter Court' November 1992

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.
