About the CD:
So back in the day Deep Dish were one of those mythical dj partnerships we didnt get to see too much in the UK but were held up there with the likes of Danny Tenaglia and of course the UK god's that were Sasha and Digweed. Label bosses of the excellent Yoshitoshi records and regular faces on the legendary Global Ungerground cd's. Although this disc doesn't go down as an all time favourite for me it does define the late 90's and some great times clubbing which is certainly enough to get into the series.

About the CD:
This CD's quality is 100% undisputed. It's memories to my early 20's is unrivalled. Moulding the laid back sounds I started listening to by mixing laid back house, downtempo, hip hop, soul and plain and simple incredible music into one cd. For me, it really is a seminal mix and one which holds endless memories of lazy weekends of Sunderland. Enjoy and share x

Simply... the first down tempo CD I bought, one which fundamentally changed the music I went onto buy and love. Seminal stuff indeed :D

When you know you know

THE PAST | Part 1

"They didn’t bring us here to change the past"

<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<--<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<--<-<-<-<-<-<-

This EP was created from the idea of representing THE PAST, THE PRESENT, and THE FUTURE in a set of three short mixes.

Why did this idea come to life?
Well, lately I’ve been living more in the present  not just saying “I live in the present,” but actually feeling and understanding what it truly is. That helped me clarify what the past and the future mean… and reach the conclusion that everything is built from the present.

The past and the future are part of the present  but the moment you mentally live in either one, you disconnect from the now. You stop creating your life, and instead, you start observing it. And the more you observe instead of act, the more you stop living it.

If you're going to think about the past, that's fine  just reflect and learn from it.
If you look into the future, that’s also okay  analyze, dream, envision what you want to create.
But always come back to the present, because that’s the only place where you can:

- observe - live - create - dream -

"Life is creation, not a destination"

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.
