ARM (RO) - Rock Like This (Close To Us Remix)

Get ready for a high-voltage sonic journey with the new remix of “ALL NIGHT,” where DJ MAURO C joins forces with talented DJ from Venezuela, M3NDOZ4. This reinterpretation elevates the original track to new heights, fusing thumping basslines, precise percussion, and immersive atmospheres designed for the dance floor.
M3NDOZ4 brings his unique vision, maintaining the energetic essence of DJ MAURO C, but adding a fresh and modern groove, ideal for House and Tech House sets. The result is a surefire track that promises to rock the night and engage both clubbers and discerning selectors.

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
