The late, great Nathan Coles... such a tasty slippy hi-hat

Still have the CD it is a lil bit of class

24th Reunion for Subterrain is 7th December with Darren Emerson & the SuperFreq crew, so how has this progressed, well we will see you on the dancefloor on the 7th December x

The mighty Doc Martin is probably the LA underground’s most famed export. Ask anyone who’s heard this hardworking house troubadour play a three-hour set anywhere in the world and they’ll tell you about his superb and eclectic taste (finding the perfect balance between soulful and trippy), his wizardry with the crossfader and his uncanny instinct for getting a crowd going. Back in the day his residency at legendary afterhours warehouse Flammable Liquid represented the transition from rave to house, both over the course of any given late night, and over the years as the scene matured. At this session from the height of the rave scene in November ’91, you can hear Doc mix energetic techno and breakbeat tunes (‘The Bouncer’ by Kicks Like a Mule; Hold It Down by 2 Bad Mice) with deeper, dubbier, more advanced stuff – like his signature anthem, Feel It by Coco Steel & Lovebomb, worked to great effect on two copies here.

Comments, hints and suggestions are always welcome!

Laurent Garnier

550 - Mixmag pres. 'We Are 25' mixed by Laurent Garnier (2008)

Welcome to the first in my Progressive House Classics mix series, each of which will focus on a particular year of record release, somewhere between 1992 - 1996 - My halcyon years of clubbing and enjoyment of Progressive House. 

This mix was inspired by 2 particular Sasha mix tapes that I got my very young hands on in 1992, his classics Universe set and a Chuff Chuff set. It was the Chuff Chuff tape that really opened my eyes to the power of harmonic mixing, and as a tribute to that mind blowing moment I have blatantly mixed the exact 3 tunes in the exact same order than blew me away so much when I first heard them (Sublime, La Tour & Floor Federation). Imitation is the biggest form of flattery after all!

Tracklisting for this mix:

Spooky - Little Bullett (Pt 1)
Spooky - Little Bullett (Pt 2)
The Oval Five Project - Vertigo (Doi-oing v Spooky Mix)
The Diceman - Quad (Spooky Mix)
Zero B - Love To Be In Love
Sublime - The Theme (Dub)
La Tour - Blue (Hermes Trance Mix)
Floor Federation - Music For The Masses (Dub)
Judy Cheeks - The Real Deal (Sasha's Qat Mix)
Young Braves - Reach
Quivver - Saxxy Lady

As with all my mixes, this was recorded on two Technics 1210's with an Allen & Heath Xone22 mixer via Serato Scratch Live. I used the original vinyl if I still have it, or MP3 file via control vinyl if not. No other computer trickery allowed, just as God intended. 

Hopefully the music will trigger a few tucked away memories that you had forgotten all about, it certainly did for me.

Much love, 12 Inch Lover xx

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
