Someone knicked my one at a party.  Still haven't gotten over it!  Great to discover it again here though. Thanks!

This is still the best ever mix album made

So our good friend Allie Williams recommended this CD ages ago and it's taken a while for us of get it of him... (or in this case not!) so we bought it ourselves. As fellow huge Derrick Carter fans it's safe to say this is another excellent mix cd and takes it's well deserved place in The Classic Mix CD Series. Cheers for the recommendation Ali, turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

A very special 40th episode showcases arguably one of the best triple packs every released, especially considering it was relatively early in the timeline of mix cd history (1996). It features selections from Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall and Back to Basic's resident, Ralph Lawson.

We originally featured this CD in the early days of The Classic Mix CD Series, when it was recommended by Shindig's Scott Bradford as his most influential piece in his collection.

So it's fitting, that after more shouts out to use it from everyone on Facebook, that we feature all 3 discs for the 400th episode celebration. Thanks to everyone for getting involved all of the plays and positive messages.

Can me make it 500!?

Here's one of many mixes from Derrick Carter that I have, this one I'm pretty sure is from December 1995.  It's a cassette tape transfer, but sound is pretty good, and, as ever, Derrick's skills are immense.

Derrick Carter - 1995 Mix

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.
