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.

Last year at ADE we put together a series of recordings from some of the finest techno talent around. The Lab is our weekly live stream / office party based in London and L.A. Download this set and many more classic Labs here: bit.ly/1lzDBrs

Steve Rachmad from The Studio 80 Warehouse ADE 2013

Egbert Van Der Gugten is one of the most promising talents. Jeroen Verheji alias Secret Cinema invited him on the spur of the moment to his parties and thus smoothed the way for Egbert to the Dutch Techno scene. Since then, Egbert has been a regular guest at Time Warp NL editions including a legendary closing set on the main floor in 2012!

This year we get to have an exclusive sneak peak even before Time Warp NL even started: Egbert's set consists of lots of unreleased tracks. You heard it here first!

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.

About the CD:
So I was originally going to upload the very first mix CD I EVER bought... (Well actually won from a competition on Wear FM's tuesday night dance show). That CD was the massively influential 'Havin'It in the UK 1' and pretty much the first piece of house music I ever owned. I can remember thinking 'This is a bit slow' being a rave a jungle fan at the time... but I was already aware of housier sounds through some of my uncles holiday mix tapes. So i listened to it, and fell in love with the classics which many people know today. Tracks like MK's 'Always', 24 Hour Experience's "Together', Happy Clapper's 'I Believe' etc etc. So I thought I'd upload another CD from the series 'Stateside' mixes. A more garage feel, and massively relevant right now with alot of DJ's like BICEP, Tensnake etc digging deep back into this older original house sound. Massively feel good, massively dance floor, hands in the air house music. Enjoy!

About the CD:
005 of the 'Classic Mix CD' collection brings a much slower affair. From the superb 'Back To Mine' CD series. The first I purchased was actually Danny Tenaglia's disc, which I bought out of curiosity being a fan of his house DJ sets. That disc almost made it here, but it was the Groove Armada release which really got hammered on my old Sony stereo. No other disc reminds me of lazy summer sundays more than this. And it was really the first musical selection that steered me towards collecting and playing a mix of music all together. Going from A Tribe Called Quest, into Barry White's incredible "Playing Your Game Baby" then house and other genre's coming in.... really resonated with me and elevated the way I put music together. Both listening to and playing out. A truly seminal release.

005 - Back To Mine - Groove Armada (2000)

I did this mix earlier in the year, spending some time sourcing some lesser known tunes that rocked Renaissance back in the day. I wanted to create something from the era of the original Renaissance mix collection, but from my experience as resident at Venue 44.

About the CD:
005 of the Classic Mix CD Series on Soundcloud. Another from 1996 which is probably lesser well known and even lesser played, but without doubt one of the most memorable CDs in my collection. It comes from the sublime MixMag Live series and features Roger Sanchez aka S-Man when he was at the height of his powers (or just approaching them) and the legendary DJ Pierre. I always remember tracks like "Fill Me" and "Time to Stop" from Sanchez and the euphoric "Freestyle Groove" by Full Swing... engulfing me in the US house sound. Seminal music which will never be forgotten.

006 - Mixmag Live! - Volume 16 feat. Roger Sanchez & DJ Pierre (1996)

Global Underground 009 San Fran - Sasha pt. 1

This is my first mix since I wrote my ios app 'RekordKrate', and here I showcase the quality of it's track recommendation engine. This mix tips a hat to the underground sound of old, but with today's amazing production values, rolling between genres but holding a smooth flow on energy.

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.
