Graham, your playlist here is basically my CD wallet from the 90s. Love the #Nighttripper hashtag - so dope. Followed :D

This mix right here is f'ing phenomenal. MUSCULAR.

Some serious parties went down to this mix

AMK Passenger Resident following on from the best DJ in Scotland Domenic Cappello - the postman always delivers they say - certainly did on this occasion. SUBLIME. 

Allan McKenzie, aka AMK, proved once again why he’s one of Passenger’s most versatile and accomplished resident DJs. A true journeyman of the scene and master selector, he has the rare ability to warm up, close, and move fluidly through tempos in any setting. 

At the Passenger Dance Tent at the Back Doune the Rabbit Hole Festival, following the legendary Domenic Cappello was no small task but AMK didn’t just fill those big boots, he brought the whole shoe shop with him. 

His set radiated raw energy and unrelenting pressure, culminating in a breathtaking, melancholy track that at one point had myself and others in complete awe.

It was an unforgettable performance, cementing his reputation as one of the best, and we’ll be back for more at next year’s festival, 17–19 July.

759 - NRB:58 mixed by Graeme Park (1995)

Started off doing a mix for a podcast, then went all old school and nostalgic...enjoy this pure wax trip with skips, jumps and wobbly mixing all included for free and not edited out. 

“Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise.  I said, “Listen, mate, life has surface noise.”

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
