About this CD:
I first discovered what Lazy Dog was all about when tuning into one of Danny Rampling's many Love Groove Dance Party saturday night shows on Radio 1. The deep sounding, sexier and feel good vibes got me interested and I always remember having it taped to cassette on my train trip down to live in London in 2001. When I arrived, I picked up the double disc from a Virgin Megastore on Kings Road and it's soundtrack went onto be the anthem of my year.

011 of the series... United DJs of America feat. Mark Farina. A very special mix for the US house connoisseurs amongst you. Mark Farina is a name much loved by many yet one who rarely makes an appearance on UK turf. Arguably the king of deep jazzy house, sprinkled with that west coast sunshine vibe. He's the man behind Om Records & Mushroom Jazz, and sit's alongside Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak on the throwns of US house music. Turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

Here, in the first of the mixes to be released from 12th November’s epic party at Depot Mayfield, with Greg Wilson's full set from the main room which typically takes in exclusive edits and versions of many classic tracks.

Beginning with the Fingerman rework of “Unfinished Sympathy”, Greg whips cleanly through Loleatta Holloway, Elektra and Candi Stanton tracks before some mainfloor classics from Adamski, Bjork and Inner City, before winding up with some classic electro and a nod to the main room’s headliners Orbital with their live mix of Chime.

A great set delivered by Greg on what was a fantastic occasion. Enjoy.

Live recording from a special daytime event at The Social in London. 

I never normally record the audience in my mixes, but, for some strange reason, there seems to have been a mic active on my device picking up the crowd. My aversion to this is that, apart from the general ambience of the room, it also picks up people chatting in or around the booth, especially in a small compact space like we were in. I hope this isn’t distracting, but, weighing things up, it was such a good day, and its so long since I’ve uploaded a mix to SoundCloud, that I think it’s only right to share regardless.

Late Night Tales

399 - Late Night Tales - Jamiroquai (2003)

Recorded Live Saturday May 5th 2012, San Diego CA (Warehouse)

Doc Martin Live @ Art of Sound San Diego - 5-5-2012

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
