This is a really great mix, first time hearing it, great mix of breakbeaty house stuff

Average technical mixing but superb track selection which is just so much more important in old school mixes

great track selection - wicked track hammered by Sasha back in the day...

my old skool mix

After i did the retake of one of my favourite Kaos tapes from the Warehouse in Leeds.

https://soundcloud.com/richard-gill/kaos-leeds-warehouse-27th-may-1991tape-1-retake?in=richard-gill/sets/classic-sets-retakes

I decided that this tape also needed redoing. In my opinion it is one of the best put together sets from when Soak first started and the music was more US house lead. There is some great, long forgotten classics on here. 

Again some of the mixes were a bit rough, where beats were clashing etc but the main issue was the sound quality. Anyone who knows this tape will know that the recorded master on the night was distorted and pretty much ruined it.

Like the Kaos retake, i have mixed it pretty much exactly the same, volumes, placements etc but a lot tighter than the original. 

I think the tape is mainly Sasha & Mike Pickering

Once again enjoy :)

151 - Viva Haçienda 87 - 91 mixed by Jon Dasilva (1997)

Ben Diggins, the Rotterdam-based producer and Clinical Records founder, drops his second EP, landing on Infinite Pleasure. With a background in a deeply musical family, Ben is fast becoming a name to watch, earning recognition for his deep sound and clever harmonies. This release pushes his music further into hypnotic territory, pairing rolling grooves with sharp, atmospheric detail. On remix duties, Copenhagen’s B From E, fresh off his standout contribution to the Abundance Vol. 3 compilation, injects his signature drive and late-night energy, twisting the original into a floor-burning rework.

Trip Hop was made for the thinkers, the wanderers, the ones who write poetry at midnight but never post it.

This is your soundtrack, lo-fi textures, urban mood, and a rhythm that hits without needing to bang.

Best for story-led Reels, moody dance clips, and experimental cuts.

🎙️ Use it when silence needs a soundtrack.

Take Me Away

Take Me Away (12" Mix)

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
