About the CD:
An absolutely epic house CD released in 1996 by the fine folks at MOS. This one was actually a swap with a certain ginger friend for something else (hope he doesn't ask for it back) although it was swapped for something good so maybe it's not a bad thing. This Frankie Knuckles mix features some incredible tracks including all time favourites Ken Lou - The Bounce, Lil Mo Yin Yang - Reach, X Press 2 - The Sound and many many more. It is indeed, a banger.

The name of the dj and the disc's title always made it an unforgettable presence sitting on the dance section in HMV (or any other music store). And the truth is we did'nt actually pick this up until recently. After listening to it we're sure you'll agree it was one not to be missed. With it's unmistakable latin influences and summer sounds you can just imaging yourself in Ibiza as the sunsets and the lights of the clubs turn on and the island becomes alive. Big tracks from Victor Simonelli, Jasper Street Co, KenLou, Bassment Jaxx and Grupo Batuque cement this as a late 90's classic for the summer. And one of Mixmags best. Enjoy!

011 of the series... United DJs of America feat. Mark Farina. A very special mix for the US house connoisseurs amongst you. Mark Farina is a name much loved by many yet one who rarely makes an appearance on UK turf. Arguably the king of deep jazzy house, sprinkled with that west coast sunshine vibe. He's the man behind Om Records & Mushroom Jazz, and sit's alongside Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak on the throwns of US house music. Turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

About the CD:
So this came out of the blue in 2000 and was a new mix compilation that gained a lot of fans not just from its unique theme (what's not to like!) and retro artwork which stood out on the shelves. Not only that but the music was damn good too. Dimitri from Paris delivers a driving soulful collection which had its own unique flavour and was perfect for nights out, driving, after parties and whatever else. Shout out to Just Lance in Dubai for reminding us about this one!

Play it loud, share the mix and enjoy!

Another New York house hero joins us for our next Faith party on Sep 23 at 93 Feet East and Cevin Fisher has put together an hour taster of what we can expect with this fabulous mix 
With a huge house legacy dating back to early performances at Paradise Garage, The Loft and Zanzibar and a rich production career that includes the massive 'The Freaks Come Out' and 'Love You Some More' that Cevin recently remixed and released on our label. He includes the remix in this masterful mix, we can't wait for his Faith debut in a couple of weeks.

About the CD:
005 of the Classic Mix CD Series on Soundcloud. Another from 1996 which is probably lesser well known and even lesser played, but without doubt one of the most memorable CDs in my collection. It comes from the sublime MixMag Live series and features Roger Sanchez aka S-Man when he was at the height of his powers (or just approaching them) and the legendary DJ Pierre. I always remember tracks like "Fill Me" and "Time to Stop" from Sanchez and the euphoric "Freestyle Groove" by Full Swing... engulfing me in the US house sound. Seminal music which will never be forgotten.

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.
