so many good memories- and flashbacks 😻

bloody hell, I remember these on CD, and had this very one, cheers for the uploads!!!!

Scary 31 years ago but still absolute quality

This line takes me back to a night bus to Goa in the early 1990s

Richies amazing tunes

Equally my favourite Essential Mix of all time. Dave Seaman and Steve Anderson at their level best with an awe-inspiring mix, full of past anthems, great mixing and happy memories, which are timeless. Still spine-tinglingly fantastic. Artists include Deep Dish, Chakra, Digital Blondes, Bedrock, T-Empo, Blue Amazon and more. First broadcast on June 23rd, 1996. All thanks and rights go to Brothers In Rhythm and BBC Radio 1.

Brothers In Rhythm: Essential Mix June 23rd, 1996

Originally released on Perfecto back in 2002, “Requiem For A Dream” was arguably Leama’s biggest release with the equally sublime Dream and Ambient Mixes. Since then the track has gained somewhat of a cult status and is considered a key classic among the progressive fans (in the traditional sense of the word progressive – as opposed to the widely recognised genre sound of today).

Bringing the track bang up to date are new remixes from label head Paul Oakenfold, who’s features his version on his new “Cream 21” compilation album, progressive house stalwart Quivver - who turns in a deep, brooding take and one of our favs Andre Sobota - whose recent remix of Justin Oh’s “Find You” is still on daily rotation in the Perfecto office. Hot on the heels of his insane “Bullet in The Gun” makeover breaks legend Refracture delivers a truly delicious take which completes the package immaculately.   

With a powerful and varied mix of styles, this is a fierce package that will keep fans on all sides of the fence happy.

053 - Journeys By DJ volume 5 - Paul Oakenfold (1994)

Kenneth Thomas is one of the longest serving Perfecto artists and he graces the schedule once more with “Heart On Fire” an epic vocal trance track that has seen constant and unwavering support from Paul Oakenfold.

On hand with a storming US style progressive house remix and following his awesome debut on Perfecto, “Evolution” is Yonathan Zvi. This guy is definitely a name to watch in 2014!

2Symmetry are a hot new signing for Perfecto and they step up to give us a deeper progressive house take in their own style. A mix of hypnotic melody and beats to give “Heart On Fire” a slightly mellower feel.

Preview of Full On Fluoro - Vol. 4 mixed by Liquid Soul
Pre-order now: http://bit.ly/FOF04LS

Full On Fluoro – Volume 4 sees psy trance legend and Perfecto Fluoro regular Liquid Soul take the reigns and deliver a 2 hour mix of epic proportions.

After a string of remixes for Fluoro and a killer EP in Have You Ever / Nirvana the time was right to bring in Nicola Capobianco, more commonly known as Liquid Soul to his psy trance brethren, to compile and mix the 4th in the series of the ever successful Full On Fluoro compilations, continuing where Simon Patterson, Yahel and most recently Activa left off.

With his signature cross over style that flits between the more melodic and psy trance styles, Liquid Soul carves up a 2 hour storming progression that shows just why we like him so much!

Keep your eyes peeled for some tasty exclusives and fluoro corkers from the likes of Ticon, Phaxe, Vini Vici, Subtree, Side Effect, Ace Ventura and of course, Liquid Soul himself!

Update 11.09.2020: 
Most likely this is not a live set from Ibiza, but a studio mix. Here is a comment from https://soundcloud.com/farnesbarnes74: "This is not the mix from the night, this is a studio mix. I was there, and Oakey was the first DJ on. The atmos was shite, and he knew it. That's why he played Itty Bitty Boozy Woozy handbag shite. We were only there for Sasha anyway - thank God for B-Tribe's Nanita with the roof open, a defining clubbing moment."

Journeys By DJ (Volume 01)

639 - Journeys By DJ Vol.1 - Billy Nasty (1993)

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
