The name of the dj and the disc's title always made it an unforgettable presence sitting on the dance section in HMV (or any other music store). And the truth is we did'nt actually pick this up until recently. After listening to it we're sure you'll agree it was one not to be missed. With it's unmistakable latin influences and summer sounds you can just imaging yourself in Ibiza as the sunsets and the lights of the clubs turn on and the island becomes alive. Big tracks from Victor Simonelli, Jasper Street Co, KenLou, Bassment Jaxx and Grupo Batuque cement this as a late 90's classic for the summer. And one of Mixmags best. Enjoy!

About the CD:
This out of all my mix CD's will likely bring back the most clubbing memories for the majority of my friends. It's hands down one of the greatest mix CD's of all time, a double pack of Sasha at his absolute peak, he was untouchable, worshipped like no other and unrivalled around the 1996-2000 era in the majority of opinions. It defined a period of clubbing that had 50 Sunderland dance heads on a bus filling up half of the main room at Sasha's, Craig Richard's and Lee Burridge's 'Tyrant' night, at the Bomb in Nottingham. Which still holds strong as the best clubbing experience for most of us. It was legendary times, and this is a legendary mix CD.

045 - Chicago House 86 - 91 'The Definitive Story' mixed by Marshall Jefferson (1997)

Just thought I'd do an 88-89 live studio mix to celebrate the festival season...

Slipmatt 88-89 Mix - July 2011

Here's my mix of some of my favourite Jenkins Lane Raindance rave classics from 1988-1991.
Over an hour of vinyl only tunes from in my opinion the best years on the rave spectrum and fond memories the Raindance Crew at Jenkins Lane Barking London.  Please be aware I own all of these records, some are over 30 plus years old and have been played thousands of times so some clarity may have gone. 
This is for those who were there in warehouses, fields and big tops as I was, and those that can only wish they were there.
Part 2 is out NOW check it out .
Please enjoy, feel free to comment.  Phill

The Continental Breakfast used to be known as "Devine Sundays" at Zone.  Those Sunday mornings were world renowned for its dark atmosphere, full on crowd, madness and signature "Zone" sound!  Many of Toronto's top djs and producers were and still are regular residents.

In homage to the old school vibe and for the Zone crew who made it what it was, me and my crew (Charles Pavia, Miss Raquel, Clubstan, Erin and Sean Star) put together the Just Like The Old Days party: All Comfort Zone classics All Day.  Dec 18th 2011 was the 2nd annual event and featured me plus Addy and 2003 - 2009 resident J-Prez.  The club was rammed, the vibe was ridiculous, smiles abound, arms in the air the entire morning and a sense of dare, mischief and nonsense running rampant... Just Like The Old Days..

I had asked "What is your favourite Comfort Zone old school track?" and I got 364 submissions!  So this set, is for all of you, put together by all of you.  This is Part 1 (of 3).

About the CD:
001 of the Classic Mix CD collection. This mix immediately sprung to mind and an major contender for all time favourite mix CD. (It's seems like a few of you guys think the same). A hands in the air, feel good garage (and house) banger with many many memories attached. I think I bought this in 1997, two years after leaving school, going to college, working at McDonalds's and clubbing up and down the country once a month alongside weekly/daily night outs in Sunderland. Great times... PM me on Facebook if you had the CD and looking for a download.

About the CD:
002 of the Classic Mix CD Series and yet another absolute stand out classic. After getting into house at around 15, I guess my only source of info was Danny Rampling's seminal LGDP (Love Groove Dance Party) Saturday nights on Radio 1. However I can't remember Carter getting much coverage on there, yet he, much like Danny Tenaglia seemed to have a level of legend unlike most. This CD cemented my love of house music with an all might smash in the face. The tempo, the bass, the disco, the filters, and fucked up vocals... this was heavyweight. Nothing could compete at the time. I'll always remember driving to college with my 2 nerdy class mates and insisting they played this CD in the car. I'm raving in the back and they are like "What the fuck is this shit, turn it down!". It's with immense pleasure that DJ's like Sneak and Carter seem to be booking all the massive clubs and parties again. I'm not so keen on the whole 'I'm a House Gangster' vibe... but this is as bad as it gets.

002 - Mixmag presents - Derrick Carter 'The Cosmic Disco' (1997)

Just Like The Old Days is Deko-ze's signature Comfort Zone old school party! All classics, all day brought to you by the djs who created, shaped, manipulated, destroyed and lovingly mangled the Zone sound.

Mark Holliday - Back to '89

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.
