This is precisely why physical released trump everything else; 95% of the time. I'm going back to physical media.

About the CD:
This CD's quality is 100% undisputed. It's memories to my early 20's is unrivalled. Moulding the laid back sounds I started listening to by mixing laid back house, downtempo, hip hop, soul and plain and simple incredible music into one cd. For me, it really is a seminal mix and one which holds endless memories of lazy weekends of Sunderland. Enjoy and share x

In Your Embrace

In February of 2015, the iconic Seattle venue known as Re-Bar celebrated it's 25 year anniversary.  To commemorate the occasion, the longest running House music night in the United States known as Flammable brought in the auditory shaman from the Wicked Crew, Jenö to set the dancefloor afire like only he can.  The night was nothing short of magic. Here lies the recorded snapshot of that moment in time...


Innerflight and the Work crew are joining forces to bring back the legendary sounds of Jenö to Kremwerk this Friday April 15th, 2016. He'll be putting on a 3 hr seminar on how it's really done in the realm of House and beyond.  Joining Jenö will be an all-star local lineup featuring Brian Lyons, Xan Lucero, Chad Neiro, Patrick Hernandez, Ajax Aubry and Kadeejah Streets.

559 - Mixmag pres. Naked Ibiza: The Salinas Beach Mix by Jon Sa Trincha (2000)

Artwork by @cloudbones

This mix is really just an acknowledgement of my lifelong love of arpeggiators and excitement for this new wave of arpeggiated synth stuff combined with some deeper drones and desert psych influences. I’m living totally off grid way out in the Mohave desert near Joshua tree, where this mix was recorded. My studio is solar powered ( no other option out here), there’s an exhilarating feeling to know that the photons running through the circuit boards of my machines emanated from the surface the Sun just 8 mins and 20 seconds prior. Of late, I’ve been more focused on my band ‘The Acid’ and pursuing my lifelong dream of living off grid and figuring out how to build a house than DJing. Incase you missed it we ( The Acid) put out a debut album called ‘Liminal’ and more recently we scored a documentary film ‘the bomb’ a documentary about the story of nuclear weapons. We have been touring film festivals, performing the score in a 360 immersive environment live to the film. In December we performed it live at the Nobel peace prize ceremonies in Oslo which was in incredibly inspiring and moving experience for me. You can check the score/soundtrack  or Watch the film on Netflix

Arpeggiated Prayers

DAVID HOLMES ESSENTIAL MIX NORTHERN SOUL 1997

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
