Daaaam. This track used to send us to the roof.. The dark sweaty floor, the green laser, the intense BASS from the big CERVIN VEGA speakers. And the hero of the night THE DJ on his deck. The 90s sure had its own flava and feeling. No rave today can come close. In the 90s this music was NEW, INNOVATIVE, INTENSE, SPECIAL, FULL OF ENERGY, and LONELY... you tripp on the floor with eyes closed and just feel the rythm take you FAAAAAAR away.

"I know it's good for you.  I know you're dying to.  I know it's good for you.  I bet you're dying to."....love it!!

Sasha & Digweed- Renaissance  The Mix Collection (Disc 1)

Jazzy Break (Edit) est une parenthèse feutrée où le groove rencontre l’élégance du jazz nocturne.

Dans une ambiance inspirée des univers Buddha Bar, Lounge et Chillout, le morceau s’installe sur un rythme lent et sophistiqué, porté par des basses profondes et des textures chaudes. Les percussions discrètes dessinent un mouvement fluide, comme une dérive dans un lounge aux lumières tamisées.

Le saxophone s’invite alors, suave et expressif, apportant une touche jazzy sensuelle qui glisse naturellement dans la composition. Ses notes racontent une histoire sans mots, entre nostalgie et raffinement.

Puis, une voix masculine apparaît, posée, presque murmurée. Elle ne chante pas, elle raconte, elle suggère… comme une pensée à voix haute dans la pénombre. Sa présence donne au morceau une dimension intime et cinématographique, comme une scène figée entre deux instants.

Jazzy Break (Edit) est une musique pour les nuits élégantes, les moments suspendus, les conversations à demi-mots.

Le rythme se fait discret.
Le sax s’exprime.
Et la voix vous guide dans une pause hors du temps.

So I just sat down and hit record and played some lovely old renaissance favorites from around 25 years ago (don't pull me if they're not, it was unplanned and freestyling). As they're all my vinyl rips there's the odd wobble here and there! I guess that's the original beauty of vinyl...it isn't BPM perfect.
It's the first mix I've done live since changing to Pioneer Rekordbox and DDJ-RX controller. I hope you enjoy it x

Renaissance .The Mix Collection Part 2

633 - Renaissance - The Mix Collection Part 2 mixed by John Digweed - CD 3 (1995)

‘Lost In Lockdown’ Week 8 - Sasha 25th Anniversary Essential Mix @ Que Club.

In 1995, BBC Radio 1 and Cream put together their 'Live' tour with amazing line ups and aired them 'live' for the first time on the radio for listeners. On the Saturday 27th May, The ‘Grande Finale’ of the tour was at the legendary ‘Que Club’ in Birmingham and boasted a line up that featured the biggest Dj’s in the UK at that time. An all-night affair at a club that could hold thousands from 10pm-6am was a first of it’s kind and for the first time you could sit at home listening to the music and madness erupting.

After Sasha & John Digweed’s 1994 Renaissance album had converted and gained so many more fans to the duos epic brand of House Music, 1995 was to take it to the next level. The advancements in the sound they started playing was to be an insight into the future of electronic music. Progressive House suddenly had a harder edge and pushed the boundaries of sound using technology far away from the traditional House music sound with piano and soulful vocals. 

The reason I have chosen to commemorate this mix is that it changed my outlook on House music. I have always enjoyed all genres of music but back then we didn’t have the amounts of genres and sub-genres enjoyed now. I knew I was hearing something very different.

I recorded the whole broadcast from start to finish, swapping 90 min tapes in and out, barely containing my excitement for what I was hearing and capturing. The crowd noises, Tong’s voice bellowing out over the roar of the crowd announcing the DJ's – it was just amazing, literally AMAZING.

Out of all the mixes, it was, of course, Sasha’s that caught my attention and engaged me more than all the other mixes. Having already seen him play this was the nucleus for a brand new Sasha obsession.

To celebrate 25 years since Sasha played the mix live on air that Saturday evening (I still have the original tape, see pic) I’m going to play all the tracks he played* and hope to give us all the sense of nostalgia and wonderment I felt that night.

Most of the tracks are recordings from my vinyl collection before I sold it all to a collector back in 2014.

The mix itself is only around 80 mins so I’ll play some extra tracks from his other sets around the same time.

For myself, 1995 was my favourite year of clubbing ever. The music, the DJ’s the energy at that time was explosive. Join me and let’s take the journey back together.

Sasha 25 Year Anniversary Essential Mix Que Club Birmingham 27th may 1995

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.

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.
