Ryan Elliott b2b Evan Baggs - Live at Butik Festival 2022

We’re delighted to share a 60 minute tantalizer from Francesco Del Garda's closing set from The Beach stage last summer.

This recording has transported us right back to Tisno where Francesco played until sunrise for his long-awaited return to Dimensions. Those that were with us know how special this set was, and now, for the first time those that weren't can also enjoy a slice of the magic.

Francesco Del Garda - Live at Dimesions 2022

For the first time in our 25-year history, we are releasing a live solo recording by Craig Richards from the club. 

“This mix was recorded on the second of December at a Continuum party. I commenced just after five and finished at nine. The heady combination of nostalgia coupled with the past, the future and more importantly my daughter dancing next to me, resulted in a mix that I felt happy with. Historically, I have been very self-critical and have chosen not to release many mixes. Across nearly four hours this one seems to encapsulate the twenty five years of playing at fabric. In 1998 I was invited by Keith Reilly to play weekly at what was an imaginary nightclub. I had no idea that experience would continue for so many years. Playing vinyl on that sound system and mixer is highly exciting and a joy in itself. I am delighted that this has been my method of sonic communication and remain deeply grateful for my ongoing residency.” - Craig Richards


Craig will be joining us at the club on 30th March to celebrate his 25-year residency with a 25-hour Continuum party.

018 - Craig Richards - Recorded live from fabric

“I recorded this mix at home using just a pair of Technics and a Mastersounds mixer. For this one, I wanted to explore the darker side of my sound while trying to keep it emotive. It moves around through breakbeat house, deep techno, early progressive, acid, detroit and electro; all of which have inspired me since the beginning and I still love playing today. 

I’ll most likely be playing along these lines on the 12th. Room 1 is always a joy to play in, and I’m beyond excited to test out new system upgrade!”

Tech House Phenomena, Vol. 2

Buy on Discogs

734 - Tech House Phenomena 2 - Nathan Coles (1998)

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.
