Shout out to Jesse Walker for the share on this one, a recommendation to share the Californian sound he's been involved with and djing around for years. Sun kissed vibes are always welcome! Thanks again Jessie

144 - Sound Design/ v1 mixed by Marques Wyatt (2000)

Welcome to my decades long dedication to house music. Tracks that go back to the late 80s and are as recent as yesterday's releases make up the mixes featured here. Listen, comment and enjoy.
If you have to pick one mix to know me by… Two of my favorites are always pinned. SOUND OFF is a favorite because it features a couple of my tracks. THE PRESTIGE is one I’m really proud of also because it draws from my rich collection of vinyl and digis, but each set has its own vibe to feel as you listen and indulge in dance. 
I play on an assortment of devices. From the Numark Dj2go2 to my cdj 900nxs +Techics 1200s +my A&H Xone  43 mixer rig, to the Pioneer ddj FLX-6. It doesn’t matter the gear. It only matters what you bring to it. The music is the catalyst. 
Thanks for visiting. Enjoy.

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.
