134 - Journeys by DJ - After Hours Vol.2 (1997)

Madloch's 3rd Avenue is excited to present Paradigm, a powerful new collaborative EP from Spanish producer Damusque (aka David Museen) and UK talent Erik Christiansen, featuring the title track and Sometimes in F.

Debuting his Damusque alias, Spanish artist David Museen brings years of industry experience to this project. Hailing from Vitoria-Gasteiz, he has established himself as one of Spain's most versatile electronic artists, with releases on Toolroom, Kittball, and CR2 Records supported by icons like Hernan Cattaneo and Marco Carola. His founder role at TrueStoryComic Label reflects his dedication to pushing musical boundaries across melodic techno, Afro house and progressive styles.

Teaming up with UK producer Erik Christiansen (UV, Freegrant, CR2), the duo crafts a masterful blend of their signature sounds. Christiansen's UK-flavored house sensibilities perfectly complement Damusque's Spanish-influenced rhythms, resulting in two tracks that showcase their combined technical prowess and creative vision.

Damusque, Erik Christiansen - Paradigm [3rd Avenue]

Dipzy & Lejune team up on “Shake The Funk,” laying down a crisp minimal groove with thick low-end and percussive flair. Vocal flicks and tight stabs give it bite without clutter. Everything lands with purpose — clean, confident, and built to move.

Renaissance Ibiza: Bar Life

671 - Renaissance Ibiza 2001 - Bar Life (2001)

The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show on BBC Radio 1 currently broadcast between 0:00 - 2:00 AM UK time on Saturday morning. Originally broadcast on 30 October 1993, the Essential Mix features contemporary DJ's and music producers of electronic dance music. The show has been presented since its inception by Pete Tong and features an uninterrupted two-hour mix from a different artist each week, overlaid with occasional continuity announcements delivered by Tong. With a broadcast run in excess of 25 years, the Essential Mix is one of the longest-running programmes in the current BBC Radio 1 schedule, and is one of very few Radio 1 shows which is not broadcast live.

Essential Mix 1993-11-27 - Junior Boy's Own (Terry Farley & Pete Heller)

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.
