classics

This was my first of over 10 Essential Mixes I’ve done, as always recorded live in one take, as was then on 3 vinyl decks. I was a super sub presenter on BBC Radio 1 at the time too, standing in for peak time Friday and Saturday (Pete Tong, Danny Rampling, Seb Fontaine) breaking a newer sound to the UK mixed with my raw house music sentiment, something that’s never left me. Even now with a more modern DJ set up I still play the same, raw, funk, loopy, tough, colourful and soulful in its own way, this was a real defining moment for me, enjoy…

Renaissance Ibiza: Bar Life

671 - Renaissance Ibiza 2001 - Bar Life (2001)

Years of following the greats.. Sasha, Dave Seaman, B.T., Local hero Icey, John Digweed, Ian Ossia led to a yearn a yearn that comes from deep in your soul to produce music so great that it reflects your whole being and makes others want to move follow this space for that sound.

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.
