DROP Sessions #5: Joe Claussell

Andrew Weatherall Live @ Shine - 2002

I Hide you sweet dreams

“Creadoras” no es un compilado de mujeres haciendo música electrónica: es una invitación a crear desde la autenticidad, sin moldes, sin etiquetas, sin miedo.

Este proyecto nace como un puente entre las pioneras —esas mujeres que en medio de contextos profundamente adversos se atrevieron a experimentar y crear música con medios electrónicos— y las artistas que hoy elegimos crear desde un lugar genuino y libre.

No importa el género —musical, identitario, social— somos seres humanos creando.

El arte no nace del género, sino de nuestra esencia. Y cuando se manifiesta sin pedir permiso, el arte se vuelve real.

Hoy vemos cómo muchas veces se busca encajar: en un sonido, en una escena, en una estética aceptable.

No busca encajar, busca abrir espacios para el juego, la exploración, la voz propia y el arte.
Este no es un compilado para mujeres, es para quienes se reconocen artistas.

Crear no es una estrategia, es una necesidad vital.

Essential Mix 1993-11-12 - Andrew Weatherall

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.
