Great to finally get some music in from Rick Prior, a fellow north east England lad, hailing from the mighty Darlington. Rick and I share a lot of the same friends and many of the same musical influences. This mix reflects that, maximum house music, disco and feel good vibes that manages to feel completely fresh, but laced with a classic sounds accessible to everyone. Creating a sound defines the dance floor in Barbary, one which everyone can enjoy regardless if you're a die hard or just there to have a good time.

Here's a few words from Rick:
"This mix is a great interpretation of how we do thing at Barbary (Dubai) every weekend. I’ve been a resident there for 2 years and shared the controls with the likes of Dimitri from Paris and DJ Spinna, to the amazing residents we have which any club in the world would be proud of. We do things a little differently than the ‘usual’ Dubai Party and I can safely say that supplying the music there has been one of my favourite gigs to date. Leave your egos at the door, come give us a visit and enjoy the vibe. Enjoy the mix! Cheers, Rick."

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.
