About the CD:
What more can I say about this opening track on the Sasha mix, the classic bird/owl noise just makes my brain explode with rave like 'what the fuck is this' questions... This disc was part of a triple MixMag pack I bought (I also bought 2 other packs) but this CD in particular was on repeat for a lot of my late teens.

The second track, Rave Generator takes it even higher and the quality is endless right through the Mackintosh CD as well. I highly recommend everyone to check out this mix, another 10/10 and needs as much press as possible. Turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

Carl Cox (Extended Classics Set) Mixmag Live presents.. Fabric, London - 12-05-16

Save the world x we are your friends (hype mix) MAES.WAV

Cales & Mr Hyde makes his debut on Stuck in Time, the boutique imprint from theBasement Discos (Beatport Hype Label of 2024), with a powerful yet elegant cut: That Jazzy Swing.
Running at 128bpm, this track is pure energy wrapped in finesse. Minimal deep tech drums and a driving bassline set the groove, while jazzy horns, Rhodes piano melodies, chopped guitars, silky snares and hypnotic vocals weave in layers of warmth and sophistication. The result is the perfect balance between raw underground grit and jazzy delicacy, a dancefloor trip made for late nights and deep moments.

Behind the project is Colombian artist Cales & Mr Hyde, DJ, producer, composer and vocalist with a unique duality at the core of his sound. With more than 60K Spotify streams, Traxsource chart entries, support from Carl Cox, Jazzman Wax and others, plus playlist features on BBC Radio 6, elRow Town and Alok, he has steadily built a reputation as one of the most exciting voices in the underground. From Miami Music Week and GrooveFest DR to iconic clubs like Baum Bogotá and Do Not Sit on the Furniture in Miami, his grooves have already traveled across dancefloors worldwide.

That Jazzy Swing captures that journey: deep, jazzy, and irresistibly groovy.

Essential Mix 1994-01-29 - Graeme Park

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
