Ya Feel That?

This is my set recorded live from Fabric Room 1 on Saturday 20th June 2015. This was so much fun, I properly smashed the living granny out of it. ;)
No downloading I'm afraid for this one, streaming only. 
I hope you enjoy. xx

A redo of what I consider to be my worst track, well incomplete not necessarily “worst". I've spent more time trying to get this track into something decent than any of my others. I originally experimented with my workflow hard on this one, and found what I was doing to be worsening the process. The end result was more of a melody than a full song. What I’ve got now is more complete. I used the original song as the melody for this VIP. It was accidentally a bit Housey at first, and then intentionally House, but it’s got some heavy bass too. I hope you find this one entertaining. It’s tried to be a lot and ended up being too much and not enough. This song has been on a voyage. Electronic Drifter is honestly a perfect title for this song, if not for the journey I’ve been on to get it to this stage. 

I took the original version down. It really isn’t worth listening to, in my opinion. If you really want to listen to it, let me know. I can get you a private link for it. Or, it is still up on my Bandcamp page.

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.
