This track epitomizes the vibe on the dancefloor. Orgastic.

About the CD:
So back in the day Deep Dish were one of those mythical dj partnerships we didnt get to see too much in the UK but were held up there with the likes of Danny Tenaglia and of course the UK god's that were Sasha and Digweed. Label bosses of the excellent Yoshitoshi records and regular faces on the legendary Global Ungerground cd's. Although this disc doesn't go down as an all time favourite for me it does define the late 90's and some great times clubbing which is certainly enough to get into the series.

Dj Alfredo live in the mix At Space Ibiza

My winning mix from Muzik Magazines bedroom bedlam dj competition.
the mix was recorded in october 1997 on 2 technics 1210's and numark mixer. The sound quality is not up to todays standards but its still ok. if you dont know, Muzik Magazine had a monthly dj comp where each winner got a gig at a major club (james zabiela also won one month)

as it was recorded on cassette tape there is a short break in the middle of the mix (where the tape flips over). The mix was recorded Live in one take and comes with the occasional mistake, its raw and has loads of energy and a selection of great tracks.
sadly soundcloud couldnt cope with a 90min WAV. so its a 320 mp3

for me its one of my favorite mixes ive ever done.
the article in the picture says its from feb 1997 but its feb 1998.
hope you enjoy.

I Want to Hide

This is my take on Kaskade's track "I Feel Like". It was originally released in 2003, and then The Freemasons also did their version of this in 2007 with Amanda Wilson. I've brought this into the modern day with a fresh remix that feels like it belongs as a closing track for my sets.

Essential Mix 1997-02-16 - Masters At Work

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.
