About the CD:
This CD's quality is 100% undisputed. It's memories to my early 20's is unrivalled. Moulding the laid back sounds I started listening to by mixing laid back house, downtempo, hip hop, soul and plain and simple incredible music into one cd. For me, it really is a seminal mix and one which holds endless memories of lazy weekends of Sunderland. Enjoy and share x

Special shout out to Thunder & Joy for the recommendation here. I remember Chris Duckenfield getting booked by the Ward 10 lasts in Sunderland in the early 00's and after going onto hear a few more of his mixes it was clear he was a heavyweight that lurked firmly in the underground but resonated certainly across the UK and Europe.

Here is what DJHistory.com had to say...
'Chris Duckenfield is responsible for some of the best house music to ever be made in the UK. Under a slew of aliases he's released house bombs as Swag and abstract electronica as RAC on Warp Records. He has owned two record labels and now in a world of ever increasing digital music domination, he has started a vinyl distribution label. Born and raised in Sheffield, the Duck is also one ofthe most respected DJs in the world, playing everywhere from Fabric in London and Panorama bar in Berlin, to small intimate parties in Australia. The man is certainly made of steel.'

Summer Breeze

First Single from the upcoming Debut album ' Soft Love '

She Bites Slow

Momentum captures the moment after silence, the movement that never stopped, only refined.
Each track is built with precision and restraint: deep house, melodic techno, and the pulse of late nights that never needed words.
Bardoq returns in full form, darker, cleaner, and fully in control.
Nothing left to prove. Just motion.

Bardoq - Momentum - 03 Nothing Left To Prove

Sonic Salve is a sonic journey of healing, remembrance, and reawakening. This album blends ambient house, organic textures, spoken word, and conscious club grooves to create a listening experience that gently uplifts and grounds. From the meditative spaciousness of The Meditation Song to the pulsing energy of Dance of the Kundalini, each track is designed to soothe the nervous system while activating the soul’s deeper resonance.

Created by Genesis Light Operation (feat. ESPĒ), Sonic Salve is more than music — it's vibrational medicine. These songs emerged during a time of deep transition, offering gentle affirmations and powerful reminders of our internal wisdom. Listeners are invited to move, breathe, and feel — to remember that the body knows the way, the magic is inside, and we are still here.

Ideal for grounding rituals, night walks, silent dance sessions, or simply resting into your breath, Sonic Salve bridges the seen and unseen with heart-led frequency work.

François K - Dub Disco Style

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
