The Boca Chica Funk

The Sound isn’t just a track — it’s an experience.
From the very first beat, it pulls you into a deep, tribal groove that feels alive, breathing through every pulse of the kick and conga. The rhythm builds like a heartbeat in motion — hypnotic, warm, and irresistibly physical.
And then, the saxophone arrives.
Not just a melody, but a voice — sensual, human, and magnetic. It floats above the groove with effortless grace, wrapping the listener in waves of emotion and desire. Each phrase feels spontaneous and soulful, turning the dancefloor into a space of connection and release.
The bassline anchors everything — deep, round, and smooth — while the layered percussion drives the rhythm forward with heat and energy. The production shines with perfect balance: club power meets elegant warmth.
In the final moments, the tribal outro unfolds — congas, toms, and shakers weaving together while the sax and bass slowly fade into the night. The gradual fade-out feels like a slow exhale, leaving behind a lingering sense of groove and serenity.
The Sound (House Sax Remix) is more than house music; it’s a hypnotic journey through rhythm and emotion — a track that moves both body and soul, effortlessly blending sophistication and sensuality.

Essential Mix - Tom Middleton - 13/05/2001

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. 

For any CD recommendations, bookings, mixes or feedback you can catch me as @asapgareth on Instagram. Or you can check our my design work at www.acid.works
