About the cd:
A superb surprise episode for 041 in the series. Massive thanks to Nick Sneddon for sending over some epic CDs recently. We are really happy to feature more downtempo CDs... it feels like the recovery soundtrack to countless nights clubbing and those sun kissed days that followed (well maybe not so much if you grew up in the UK).

Considering this came out in 1996, it features some simply gorgeous deep house and laid back electronic which go onto cement why DJ Harvey is a cult dj amongst fans and fellow spinners. It's a pleasure not just remember my own collection, but have other people send in theirs. And it's even better discovering that there's hundreds of other classics out there which need to be shared with everyone. Thanks again for the good vibes.

069 - Richard Dorfmeister ‎– A Different Drummer Selection (2003)

This is the live recording of a truly unforgettable night at Up Yer Ronson's party at The Faversham on Friday 22nd August to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of it's residency at The Pleasure Rooms, Leeds. All four original Up Yer Ronson DJ's Andy Ward, Neil Metzner, Marshall and myself Paul Murray got together and played for the first time in over 17 years!! To say they all blew the roof off is an understatement. So go grab a beer a relive the night starting with the opening set by Andy Ward….enjoy! x

Set 1 - Andy Ward-live mix-10pm-11pm Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

Up next was Neil Metzner who played an absolute blinder of a set all on vinyl too!! It was the best part of 17 years since all the Ronson resident DJ's had played together on the same bill. Neil had hung his headphones up and thought he'd never play again. He said he was so nervous leading up to his set as he'd not DJ'd in front of a crowd like this since the Ronson days. All the buzz, excitement and butterflies he experienced were like he felt before his first ever gig at Ronson. I think I speak for everyone who was there that he had nothing to be nervous about. It was like he'd never been away…sit back and enjoy the batten handed over from Andy Ward…give it up for Neil Metzner! x

Set 2 - Neil Metzner-live mix-11pm-12am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

Next up on the decks as part of Up Yer Ronson's 20th Anniversary party at The Faversham to commemorate it's residency at The Pleasure Rooms from 1994-1996 was one of the true pioneers of the Leeds House music scene and the original Up Yer Ronson resident DJ Marshall. He played from 12am-1am when the crowd were absolutely rocking….sit back and enjoy this superb mix of vocal house, dubs and deep house treats mixed together seamlessly by a true master….ladies & gentlemen, give it up for Marshall!! x

Set 3 - Marshall-live mix-12am-1am Up Yer Ronson at The Fav, Leeds - Friday 22nd August 2014

I hope you enjoy listening back to this as much as I enjoyed playing and looking at all you smiley, happy people bringing back some amazing memories of Ronson at The Pleasure Rooms…x

Put together by one of the busiest and yet also one of the most thoughtful Djs on the European circuit, Mr.C`s X-Mix The Electronic Storm is a tempestuous journey into the spirit of the beat. A specially extended version of the soundtrack for the video of the same name, here the mixes live forever. Mr.C selects tunes from the UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Italy, seguing and sliding the rythms and textures of international dance into one endless morphing sound. The basslines thunder, the breakbeats pound like driving rain; a hurricane of sound lit by lightening flashes of musical revelation. X-Mix - The Electronic Storm will simply blow you away.

This is one of many of my Techno mixes. However this one is dedicated to the amazing Berghain and Berlin and the many hours that we have spent in there absolutely wasted.

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.
