About the CD:
My second ever house CD! I bought this one for my Christmas box through the Metro Centre in Newcastle if I remember correctly and it was the real catalyst for getting me into clubland and house music. Featuring artists that defied genres and  the underground/overground such as Leftfield, Living Joy, Wildchild and Inner City... this was music all of the UK was dancing too not just to cool kids. A pretty amazing time to be a young kid getting into music heavily... my biggest regret... not buying turntables!

So for episode 034 we had a lot of shouts after sharing the first disc on this compilation, which was the Jeremy Healy one. (Also excellent). But with so many requests it was time to get the Whitehead one up there, and after listening to again for the first time in over 10 years or so the memories of its brilliance came flooding back. It's a more soulful set with come epic vocal and feel good moments which made the mid to late 90's a much more enjoyable place to be.

So many stand out tracks but off the top of my head, Right and Exact, Tall and Handsome, Weekend, I Believe, Happiness and the highlight for me, the epic 'Sweetest Day of May' by Joe T. Vannelli Project. It's fantastically put together and a mix with truly belongs into the classic status. Whatever you're up to now Alistair... we salute you!

At Renaissance, formed a now-famous DJ partnership with John Digweed which continues to the present day.

Sasha @ Renaissance, Mansfield, U.K.  04.1992

I discovered Frankie Knuckles through his music, one that was, gentle, lush with a subdued, understated power that rocked many a dancefloor.
I had the privilege to hear him once in the heyday of his legendary residency at Sound Factory Bar in New York. I was submerged, sonically and emotionally by the beauty of the music I heard that night. I remember very clearly saying to myself that this would be impossible to ever equal.
That was 20 years ago, and I never got to hear this magic combination again.

I got to meet Frankie a few times, and he was always like his music, gentle, humble,   yet naturally imposing

I've put together here some of my favorite music from him. So that his legacy can keep on inspiring other people.

Rest in peace, Frankie, may your music keep on moving people eternally

About the CD:
So happy to finally get to hear disc one of this brilliant cd. When I originally swapped the disc way back in 1998 it only had disc 2... and I'm delighted to discover this one is just as good. It's an absolutely epic house double CD, released in 1996 by the fine folks at Ministry Of Sound. And one which is another great reason to celebrate and remember the man himself, thank you Frankie. Remember to buy the CD (if it's still available) from the link above or other good sellers online. Turn it up and enjoy the mix!

Special shout out to the ever helpful Nick Sneddon for sorting our disc 1!

"My new ZR compilation of 90s house and garage collects together some of my favorites from that fertile era for dance music," Joey explains."Like last years Italo-house collection, I tried to select some of the more under the radar type stuff which I was personally into, most of which aren't available to buy easily or already on lots of compilations."

"I've also put together this mix using some songs from the new album alongside a few of the ones we couldn't license for various reasons."

SHEP PETTIBONE – MASTERMIXES       
 
 A SELECTION OF RARE EDITS, UNRELEASED MIXES AND UNDERGROUND CLASSICS 

Out March 2012 Limited Edition CD Only.

Remixer Shep Pettibone first emerged during the early '80s as a force in disco, boogie, hip-hop and house. Starting with Arthur Baker, he was responsible for Afrika Bambaataa and the Jazzy Five's influential "Jazzy Sensation," and concurrent with the rise of scratching and other turntable innovations created KISS-FM's "MasterMixes."   By the mid-'80s,Pettibone was in hot demand, producing and remixing tracks for such dance-pop innovators as the Pet Shop Boys and New Order; his most successful collaboration, however, was with Madonna, for whom he produced a series of hits, including "Vogue," "Causing a Commotion," and "Justify My Love."  For a long time it was impossible to live in New York without hearing 'This is a KISS Master Mix... Mix... Mix... by Shep Pettibone!' resounding across the airwaves and into the streets. While there had been disco radio mixes before Pettibone, there was never anything like the buzz that kept building on the streets until demand was such for his remixed tapes that Prelude released the landmark KISS Master Mixes LP. 
Pettibone, at 22, worked part time at 'WBLS, where he won recognition for his remix of MFSB's 'Love Is The Message' in 1980.  Shep’s perspective differed from others in that he had a strong pop orientation and the fact that he liked to get right to the point, where the remix needed to be as familiar as the song itself. Stating in a rare interview with Steven Harvey which appeared in the Collusion magazine in 1983 “Basically, it's up to my mood and my feeling. Nobody calls me and tells me what to do. I've gone two weeks at a time without a take on a mix, and then I'll turn around and produce four in one week. The key is to make each one different”.
 Shep's "Mastermixes" were remixes of hit post-disco and dance songs of the time, and continued into 1983, after which Shep became more closely involved with Salsoul Records and expanded into studio mixing and production. He was one of the first to submit multiple remixes (with different approaches) to be released all on the same single. Today this is standard practice to market a song to a multitude of different radio formats and markets.  Shep's "Mastermixes" would often incorporate the "dub" version or instrumental version of the 12" single, using the vocal-only track or other unique portions of the various versions of the 12" singles. Shep made ample use of tape splicing and other methods of editing to create repetitive lines of music or vocals, often in quick, staccato rhythm, and he also made judicious use of tape delay and digital delay effects, usually opting for an eighth-note 'triplet' continuous echo effect either effected on a specific vocal or musical point, or set on a continuous mode with limited delay length to allow for an echoing effect as the music played.  Some "Mastermixes" he did for 98.7 Kiss FM which featured these effects significantly include those for "Do It To The Music" by Raw Silk, and "So Fine" by Howard Johnson (both hits in 1982). In late 1982 Prelude Records released the infamous double-album LP set of "Mastermixes" by Shep Pettibone for a number of Prelude-released songs. The remixes Shep did for D-Train's "You're The One For Me" and "Keep On" are considered classic "Mastermixes" from this set. 
Shep Pettibone added to his work at 98.7 Kiss FM from 1982 by working in the studio on a number of well known 12" singles for Salsoul Records in 1983, including hits by Skyy, Inner Life, the Salsoul Orchestra and Loleatta Holloway, among others. His now classic remix of First Choice's "Let No Man Put Asunder" is the version now found in the majority of urban DJ's record crates.  During Shep Pettibone's peak years at the end of the 1980s, he copied an effect of the use of a sequenced "machine gun"-sounding snare drum sequencing of the Roland TR-909 drum machine, typically as an end-of-bar fill. Shep's "bazooka snare" evolved into a singular sound that can be used with great accuracy to identify his remixes from the period 1988 to 1992, though his attempt to claim credit for the initial use is spurious. Current hip hop and dance recordings, such as the long mix of Beyoncé's "Sweet Dreams" or Azari & III ‘Reckless With Your Love’ continue this tradition.   During his hiatus from radio remixing, Pettibone played records at Better Days, a Black gay bar in the Times Square area. Every club's sound reflects its demographics and, at Better Days, Pettibone spun almost exclusively Black urban post R&B style disco. He constantly mixed over-the records, dropping in extra hand claps (like the delayed intro clap in Prince Charles' 'Jungle Stomp') and effects and hardly ever seemed to let a record play through. The peak would come when he juxtaposed an accapella such as a version of Chocolate Milk's 'Who's Getting It Now' with the instrumental version of Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean', creating a new song that remains perfectly in sync for minutes; A DJ practice that is now standard in a digital age and with software but back then he was constantly having to tease the discs with his finger and tapping the rims of the turntable to bring records into sync. 
 At Better Days, where Shep Pettibone was often to be found spinning alongside the club’s infamous resident Tee Scott, the loyal crowd there had nostalgia for old classics. In the original Collusion interview he tells Steven Harvey, "True. The music right now is not good. I'm sick of hearing drums and synthesizers. I'd like to hear music again; Strangely enough, all these computer records started after 'Thanks To You' by Sinnamon. It was kind of like that computer sound within a Black vein."   Although never the intention of the inventor, re-mixers such as Pettibone have generated a culture of re-mixers who now have the ability to reach a higher status of recognition than the artist they mix and achieve a legacy that can be even more enduring. Over the years since following Shep taking a back seat from studio a number of porducers both in the States and in Europe have been inspired by his pioneering early work including Masters At Work, Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley,  Jellybean Benitez, Joey Negro, Greg Wilson, and Tensnake,

Because The Night (Kid Kaio 2012 Bootleg)

SNAP! is a 90s party in PDX, 5 years strong. I played over an hour of my favorite 90s flavored House, including a bunch of my own 90s-sampling tracks, going all the way back to 2007's High Top Fades 12".  Luckily, I remembered to record this one, and it ends up sounding like a Mission Statement of sorts.  This will be more fun w/o a tracklist... Enjoy!

Best Of Avicii (Megamix) 2012

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.
