Incredible mix and still gives me goosebumps after25 years. 

I remember when I used to buy mixes, I would pour over them. Know every track, read the liner notes... absorb it all! I would know every second of the mix. I can go back to these CD's and be taken back to my youth. With the vast amount of music we can get today (not necessarily a bad thing) I don't appreciate music as much as I used to. I will always have these mixes to go back to :)

when I first heard this CD I could hardly even believe it was real

This here is what got me hook on digweed.

This mix came out before I was born, my dad would play the cd in the car and on his soundsystem during all of my formative years. I missed this era of electronic music and there will never be anything like it again. I always come back here, and it brings tears to my eyes. May this mix always find its way back to me, it is the greatest of all time.

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
