An Introspective of House/1st Dimension/Seb Fontaine

The House Collection, Volume 2 Boy George

This is it, this is the one piece of music that totally altered my life and how I view music. It opened my ears to dance music, and most of all Tony de Vit`s music for which I am forever grateful. It lead to moments of musical bliss I can`t even begin to describe, in places an ordinary spud from Ireland [me] wouldn`t have found in a million years. I`m so glad I did. Headphones on, turn it up loud and enjoy, it really is beautiful.

"Deep in the sweat-slicked shadows of a subterranean circuit party, a congregation of scantily dressed masc queens writhe to the rhythm of a commanding voice cracking through the air. Drawn together by a pulsing energy, their bodies instinctively move toward an iridescent orb floating mid-air, glowing hotter with every beat.
Hypnotic and divine, it repeats, “Gonna make you sweat”
Obediently, the queens begin to drip. The rising heat wrings every pore, and the floor beneath them turns slick with luminous sweat. This pleases The Orb. It feeds on the heat and euphoria as it tightens its hold as their new master.

These seasoned circuit stompers had seen many a party, but none like this. They move sharper and faster, giving themselves over completely. The Orb pulses then slowly descends, dipping itself into the sea of sweat it has summoned. It begins to churn.

Swirling 🌀 Swishing 🌊 Vibrating 🫨

The sweat rises with it. The liquid spins into a vast vortex that snakes through the cavernous party space, encircling the queens. The whirlpool rushes around them roaring and elemental, but never knocks them from their feet. Instead, it lifts them into a state of reverence. The entire subterranean cave system now belongs to The Orb.
And then within the spiral a figure begins to form. 

Towering 👢 Dripping 💧Divine 👄

The dancers freeze entranced as the vortex tightens and out steps a magnificent being, 7 feet tall and gleaming with beauty and power. A deity born of sweat and bassline. The crowd erupts in ecstasy.
“Gonna make you sweat,” the voice booms one final time.
And with that, Muscle Mary was born."

Essential Mix 1995-02-26 - Tall Paul

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.
