About the CD:
I was always aware of Bukem, another DJ who managed to make underground rumblings to the listeners of the British dance scene without  us seemingly knowing who they even were... we just knew about them anyway.  immediately fell in love with this CD once Makoto's 'Inside Your Love' rolled in with MC Conrad's silky smooth mc'ing riding over the top. I'd always loved drum and bass from a distance, but from hearing that track... I was forever a massive fan. I bought into the Good Looking label, bought alot of old releases, all the mix cd's and then fell in love with Bukem's downtempo sister label 'Cookin Records'. This influence was one of the main sounds of my early vinyl days and has gone on to educate and delight for another decade and more. Play it loud, ride the groove, feel the bass. BUKEM!

DJ Shadow Essential Mix

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!

DOWNLOAD LIMIT REACHED, BUT GRAB IT HERE:
http://www.dnbshare.com/download/Lenzman_Dan_Stezo_-_The_Soul_Tape.mp3.html

When was the last time you listened to an actual ‘mixtape’? You probably think of one of the many mixes inhabiting our digital social spheres, which you might give a quick click or a fast listen. Dutch Drum and Bass connoisseurs Lenzman & Dan Stezo go back in time with the launch of their ‘Soul Tape’, an actual 60 minute cassette tape meant for the discerning Drum and Bass lover.

The Soul Tape is a limited give-away. The hand-crafted package comes in a hard-cover box, with additional T-shirt and a variety of stickers - all with custom artwork by Team Blazin'. Besides that The Soul Tape is a ‘cool’ and fresh (but hyper-traditional) take on the mix-format, it stems from Lenzman and Dan Stezo's 90s ritual of making Hiphop tapes for each other in school.

The Soul Tape exhibits tracks from the world’s finest Drum and Bass artists, blended by Lenzman with Dan Stezo’s narrative slang and distinct voice-over. As a combination they have worked together since 2003, and recently increased their collaborative spirit both on stage and on record. 2014 saw their first release ‘Move & Focus’ together as a combination on the esteemed Metalheadz imprint as part of Lenzman's debut album 'Looking At The Stars.

Lenzman’s tremendous success in his genre and his tour the force around the world doesn't keep him from maintaining a close circle. Long time confidant Team Blazin' adds the artwork in the form of handwritten calligraphy which articulates the Hiphop aesthetics, the three artists’ connecting factor and their shared stylistic background.

The Soul Tape is not for sale, as it is an initiative out of love for the craft, the music and their heritage. The 50 limited edition tapes will be given away to fans over a period of time. As it's holiday season, starting with 10 units via a Facebook “Share to Win” competition. Head over to the Metalheadz Facebook page and you might win a copy of The Soul Tape.

Lenzman quote:
“When we were kids growing up it was all about tapes. It was a time where music was hard to come by and albums were played from start to finish, over and over... It was also a time where we made mixtapes for each other, recorded off CD, radio, whatever. Back then it was Hiphop. We are taking that aesthetics and giving you a piece of nostalgia which celebrates the love for our craft. We've made you a mixtape. This time it's not Hiphop but Drum and Bass music. This a hard-crafted package: 50 slices of nostalgia. Inside you will find a 60 minute tape, mixed and hosted by Lenzman and Dan Stezo. A t-shirt, a variety of stickers (Lenzman, Dan Stezo, Team Blazin', Metalheadz, The Soul Tape) and all of it will have custom artwork by Team Blazin'.”

Lenzman & Dan Stezo - The Soul Tape

"Season's Greetings Dirtybird Friends and Family,
                Its been a wonderful year raging with you all, and as a special thank you for all of your support, we would like to give away a very special mix. Hopefully this musical journey will bring back some nice memories of that magical sunrise at the dirtybird campout where the SoCal sky opened up right at dawn and showered us with the first rainfall in months. Even if you were not there to share that special moment with us the first time around then hopefully this mix still gives you the warm fuzzies you need to stay cozy this winter. So sit back by the fire with some loved ones, grab a festive 40oz, and have a drink to some drum and bass with us.
Happy Holidays,
THE MARTIN BROTHERS"

INCredible Sound Of Drum'n'Bass: Goldie

516 - INCredible 'Sound Of Drum'n'Bass' mixed By Goldie - Spectrum Disc (1999)

In early 2017 I was contacted by my old mate Si from 2 Bad Mice. He told be he was putting together a Legends Of Moving Shadow Showcase for the Bangface Festival in Liverpool and wanted to know if I could play. Of course, it would be awesome to catch up with my old Shadow Crew as its would of been 20 years since I have seen some people!

I went up and played this set and people were loving it as was I! It would of been 20 odd years since I played this kind of music in a club (all tracks are from 93-96) and to hear them again was a delight.

So I came back to Bournemouth and recorded the set, but now I was back in contact with all the Shadow Crew and within that network I managed to track down shout outs from Calyx, Tech Itch, Dave Wallace (!), Justice, Blame, Nookie, Foul Play, DJ Harmony, DJ Trax, Dev Paradox, 2 Bad Mice, Deep Blue, Essence Of Aura and Cosmo & Dibs!

Now I had a great mix, with great music and shout outs from a gang of Shadow artists, so I approached Serato with it, who have backed me since 2008 and I was even one of their Tech Mates (which I had to sit an exam to join!)

With all the above in mind I decided the mix should be called 'Back From The Shadows' as all the music is from either Moving Shadow or from artists who were signed to Moving Shadow. As usual, all recorded live with 2 Technics Turntables and Serato SL3. NO BEAT MAPPING!!!

Respects to Eddie Rathbun at Serato, Si from 2 Bad Mice, The Bangface Festival as well as al the Moving Shadow artists who contributed their time by recording me a shout and lastly, to the main man Rob Playford who brought us all together in the 1990s!

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
