Morillo, that legend of house music. DEP friend.

No one can touch the energy this guy brought to the dance floor.

"Besides being so obviously talented and such a major influence on so many of us, the fact that keeps coming back to me is what a kind and gentle person he truly was. Make no mistake, he was a true class act! Always striving for positivity and exuding good vibes wherever he went. Greeting his many friends in ways I had come to treasure like those big long hugs you were guaranteed to get when you visited him. While all of this has sadly come to an end, I know I will treasure these many precious memories for as long as I live. I truly feel blessed to have counted you among my friends. Thank you for all of this beauty and inspiration you gave us. It has already become the stuff of legends, and will live on forever. R.I.P. brother Frankie."

730 - Subliminal Sessions 5 mixed by Erick Morillo  - Disc 1 (2003)

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
