About the CD:
The VERY FIRST house CD I ever owned. And essentially the first time I ever listened to PROPER house music. I remember thinking as a 15 year old kid 'This is a bit slow'... but after a few plays I was forever a house head. And with all time classics like MK's 'Always, 24 Hour Experience's 'Together, Happy Clappers 'I Believe', Joey Musaphia's 'Cover Ups Volume One' and the gorgeous 'Total Control ft. Caroldene Black 'You Took My Lovin' who can blame me... Maybe some of you guys remember this CD too, if so... here's to the memories.

SIMON FOR MAUD

Soulful House by Premier Regard

A journey through 35 years of house from the godfather of UK rave. 

In popular mythology, the '90s are without question, the halcyon days of dance music—an era of free raves and unadulterated hedonism. It's a myth that Matthew Nelson, AKA Slipmatt, knows better than most–he was there. 

During the late '80s, as the rave scene in the UK began to boom, Nelson began moonlighting as a DJ. He would land his first residency at Raindance, the East London rave that launched in September 1989 and would become the UK's first legal rave. By 1991 , he'd reach number two in the UK charts with "On A Ragga Tip" as one-half of SL2 and two years later, sell over 10,000 copies of the first pressing of SMD#1.

Nelson has got a lot to share (as you'll see in his interview) so we'll let him do the talking. He's been variously called the godfather of rave and happy hardcore, but what you'll hear on RA.958 is as "a journey through my 35 years of house." A DJ with this much pedigree brings much more than that, of course: touching on the breakbeat, jungle and acid house that soundtracked that golden age, as well as nods to the rich cross-pollination with scenes beyond the UK, from Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash" to Stardust's "Music Sounds Better With You."

Gisele: A sonic journey from the north of France

Hailing from the rainy but vibrant north of France, Gisele has carved out a niche for herself on the electronic music scene. Her sound - a harmonious blend of house, micro house and dub techno - transports listeners to a realm where rhythm and melody converge in perfect harmony.

Musical influences and inspirations

Gisele's musical journey is deeply rooted in the eclectic vibes of the Balearic Islands, the introspective rhythms of trip-hop and the definitive grooves of the 90s. She draws her inspiration from pioneering labels such as Crosstown Rebels, Cadenza, Deep Tech Records, Draft, Hed Kandi and Parquet Recordings. These influences are evident in her tracks, which are imbued with a sense of nostalgia yet sound undeniably fresh.

Clubbing experience

A regular on the Belgian and Spanish club circuits, Gisele is known for her energy. Her music isn't just heard, it's experienced - a thrilling journey that echoes the heart of nightlife.

A sound that resonates

Gisele's dedication is geared towards fidelity to her sound identity.
She also shares her passion for electronic music with the equally enthusiastic 'Premier Regard'. Together, they compose on Ableton Live, where Premier Regard crafts all the arrangements, ideas, tracks and mixing, while Gisele brings to life the piano chords and vocals. Their collaborative spirit and shared dedication to music shine trough in their creations, offering a harmonious blend of technical skill ans artistic expression.

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.
