Scott Bradford (Shindig/Lexicon Avenue) recommends 'Back to Basics - Cut the Crap - Disc 3 mixed by Ralph Lawson' (1996).

We've got a special recommendation to celebrate our 40th episode of the classic mix CD series from Scott Bradford, who of course is, known for being behind, one of the longest running and most influential club nights in the UK, Shindig in Newcastle. Which amazingly kicked off in 1992 and is now stronger than ever with sell out parties every month at their new home, Warehouse 34. Scott is also well known for his Lexicon Avenue productions and Forensic Records label and has generally been a legend bringing house music’s finest to everyone for over 20 years.

He’s recommended disc 3 from back to Basics ‘cut the crap’ CD, which  features mixes from Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, and this mix from Ralph Lawson. Now Considering it came out in 1996 that’s a ridiculously good shout  So Thanks for sharing it with us Scott, it’s much appreciated and here’s hoping for another great 20 odd years for Shindig, yourself and all the gang . So Turn it up and enjoy the mix!

So our good friend Allie Williams recommended this CD ages ago and it's taken a while for us of get it of him... (or in this case not!) so we bought it ourselves. As fellow huge Derrick Carter fans it's safe to say this is another excellent mix cd and takes it's well deserved place in The Classic Mix CD Series. Cheers for the recommendation Ali, turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

Arkady Antsyrev produces minimalistic house tunes, combining deep-atmospheric soundscapes that slot perfectly into the sound world of Sublease Music. 

With this release Arkady shares three new tracks that firmly cements his reputation. 

Loud ‘n Proud is  a groovy acid tinged banger with crisp drums and bubbling 303s, underpinning a whispered, atmospheric vocal. 

Troika goes a bit harder, veering towards techno with metallic edges and a relentless groove, balanced nicely with another subtle vocal. 

JT changes things up with a skippy broken beat to start off, before settling into a bass heavy wobbler that will surprise and excite a lot of audiences.

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.
