The Trip: Created By Saint Etienne

Buy on Discogs

789 - The Trip - Saint Etienne - Disc 1 (2004)

Found this Doc Martin mix from 2001 in my archives and since it was ready to share, here it is. I'll probably just have it up for a few weeks but it was loads of fun to listen to again so I thought I'd share for any Doc fans to tune in for. 
Big love to the Sublevel family and of course Doc and Syl who hold it down around the world!

Essential Mixes 2001

Doc Martin Essential Mix 2001

The 2nd voyage into the sonic trip of my youth, and a tribute to the sounds that shaped so much of what I listen to today. 

This part deux represents a time in the late 1990s when pioneering artists were beginning to fuse live instrumentation, electronic programming, vocal snippets, and hip-hop sensibility.   It got labeled things like "chill" or "trip hop" or "lounge" or "acid jazz" ... but those early recordings really gave birth to unbelievable exploration.

For many of us, this music is that fleeting moment before the internet took over everything.  Record shops and mail order outfits were the only way to find new records and CDs.  Indie magazines, especially Straight No Chaser, were like Bibles.  E-mail groups were key (what up, all you old Acid Jazz Mailing List vets!).  The resulting pause-button mixtapes we all trafficked in were an excruciating art.  

The host of labels that sprouted up to fill the void were eclectic, scattered across the globe and bangin: Guidance Recordings, Stereo Deluxe, G-Stone, Cup Of Tea, Mo Wax, Jazz Fudge, Shadow Records, Eighteenth Street Lounge, K7, Yellow Productions, Disorient, Ninja Tune, etc. etc ... They'd pluck it off the streets and make it global with no real plan for making money.  And it was awesome because it was all about the music.

So here is my tribute to that era (and my recent journey through old dusty stacks of wax and plastix that I finally found the time to finally dive into).

Side "B" was born from the memories of never going to sleep and 'waking' with the sun, surrounded by friends ... the night you'd just had fuzzy and crystallized ... the thing that grounded your spinning minds: music ... before we all scattered our separate ways. 

A more bumpin side "A" here: https://soundcloud.com/wickedslick/moody-grooves-the-mega-mixtape-sunset-side-a-1992-2000-ish-the-dusty-crates.

Back to Mine: Nick Warren is a DJ mix album, the first in the Back to Mine series, compiled and mixed by Nick Warren. The mix focuses on downtempo tracks, with Allmusic calling it "a smart and non-confrontational mix safe from predawn noise complaints". CMJ New Music Report called it a "felicitous cocktail of psilocybin and mescaline". Iain Stewart, in The Rough Guide to Ibiza and Formentera, viewed Warren's mix as one of the best in the series.

Back to Mine

264 - Back To Mine - Talvin Singh (2001)

Out Now On Cold Busted:

1. The Soul Man
2. Break My Back
3. Put The Needle On
4. Sometimes
5. View From
6. The Return Of The Classic

+ 6 more tracks on the full length album

The Return Of The Classic is the return of Greek beat-master Mister T. to the Cold Busted label, and he certainly explores a classic sound. Based in Athens, Greece, Mister T. has long been transmitting the jazzier side of downtempo hip hop, with top notch jams that are soulful, swinging, and undeniably funky. This album is the latest in a string of Mister T. collections on Cold Busted … as prolific as Mister T. is, his quality never falters and the tunes don’t disappoint. The Return Of The Classic contains a multitude of magical dance floor moments, including the bluesy skank of “Break My Back”, the breakdance funk of “Put The Needle On”, the high energy horn section groove of “Elephant”, and the title track’s shuffling big beat and stew of crafty samples. The Return Of The Classic has beats and funk for days, with Mister T. delivering a beloved old school sound to today’s jazzbos. Hold on tight!

UNKLE - Edit Music For Film - The Director's Cut

The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show on BBC Radio 1 currently broadcast between 0:00 - 2:00 AM UK time on Saturday morning. Originally broadcast on 30 October 1993, the Essential Mix features contemporary DJs and music producers of electronic dance music. The show has been presented since its inception by Pete Tong and features an uninterrupted two-hour mix from a different artist each week, overlaid with occasional continuity announcements delivered by Tong. With a broadcast run in excess of 25 years, the Essential Mix is one of the longest-running programmes in the current BBC Radio 1 schedule, and is one of very few Radio 1 shows which is not broadcast live.

Essential Mix 1996-02-04 - Darren Emerson & Underworld

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
