Essential Mix 2009-01-24 - Josh Wink

On May 4, 1992, Sasha performed at Mixmag's Club Tour event series in Rotherham.

To mark 30 years since the legendary set, the long-lost mix has now been remastered after a copy was discovered in someone's garage just last year.

Kalocain is a music producer and artist based in Frankfurt/Offenbach, Germany.

I met Joschi/KALOCAIN in 2013 through his father, the owner of the last secondhand books shop in my neighbourhood here in Basel, Switzerland. Joshi told me about tracks he’s producing so i visited him in the Black Forest mountains in southwest Germany in a little gingerbread house where he was tinkering around on his laptop making tracks. After getting him a set up of Korg USB controllers things started to pick up and he kept sending tracks over the years. A few weeks ago i asked Joshi for some new house tracks and he delivered, enjoy.

PREMIERE⚡️Kalocain - Your Mind Is Sounding Like It's Mine [Codek Records]

“Swap” dives into the contrast between two parallel realities in constant tension: a world falling apart and another one emerging through energy, rhythm and technological evolution. A driving, dark, ever-shifting techno track built to break patterns and push the flow forward.
It will be part of Parallel Flow, an EP shaped around duality, contrast and continuous change.”

Essential Mix 1994-02-05 - Justin Robertson

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
