My DJ life - behind the scenes at Hacienda 40th
(Bookings: chadjacksonstudio@gmail.com)
....At the end of 2022, I was honoured to be booked to play at The Warehouse Project in Manchester for the Hacienda 40th birthday party with a host of fellow previous Hacienda residents, legendary DJs, acts and a crowd of 10,000 people!
One of the best DJ sets I have done for a while, I feel. 
I literally felt 'on fire', playing to my home crowd! xxx

Renaissance The Mix Collection Part 3: Fathers Of Sound [Disc 1]

Many lesser obvious mid 80s cuts, and many underground classics running quickly through the BPMs Recorded live in one take with no edits and no sync button

80s Hip Hop & Electro is a huge part of my collection that I very rarely get the chance to play out so this was really satisfying to put together. Pic taken of me in 1985 with my mobile disco.

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
