So our good friend Allie Williams recommended this CD ages ago and it's taken a while for us of get it of him... (or in this case not!) so we bought it ourselves. As fellow huge Derrick Carter fans it's safe to say this is another excellent mix cd and takes it's well deserved place in The Classic Mix CD Series. Cheers for the recommendation Ali, turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

Recent Hard Times night in Manchester was epic. Had a few people ask if my set was recorded. It wasnt, so I've recreated it here...I think its pretty close. Deep warmup vibes, enjoy x

It was a very special warm night in Ibiza when we hosted OpenLab x Pikes Presents at 528 Ibiza

Ron Trent had just left an ecstatic crowd applauding in the amphitheatre so no pressure for Ralph Lawson opening up the club inside straight after!

Being a radio station we always like to record and stream when possible so the recorder was firmly in place to capture RL Live at 528 for the first ever time.

No Reason (Smoking Mix)

The The 264 Cru lads asked me to put a selection together for their 'The Comedown' mixes, designed to provide end of week, lazy listening from some of the city's finest selectors. The mix features new music from Glenn Astro, Archy Marshall, Henry Wu, Mike Gao, K15, Stro Elliot, Sokro, No Puls, Profusion and Frederick. It's a reflection of my more leftfield tastes, some of which you can here for during the beautiful Pierchic sunsets. Give it a spin, it's a Saturday after all.

Re-loading this now mixes on SoundCloud seem to have some breathing space. It's the third mix in the 'One for the Ladies' mix take a 'Dubai Ladies Night' twist, banging out class chart from the 80's, 90's and beyond that the lasses love mixed in with a few cooler numbers like Slum Village amongst others.

It also pretty much sums up the vibe down at LeftBank on a Wednesday night where I used to play.

Chez Damier - Back to Basics Mix

My first ever mix! Done circa 2004 at the time we were putting on parties down The Bonded Warehouse (Sunderland Uni's riverside bar). It represents many of my first vinyl purchases. Some heavy coverage from early Groove Armada, alot of left field hip hop, beats and downtempo stuff. Plus some of the Late Night Tales / Another Late Night EP's which were released around the same time. It's even got some half decent and well timed attempts of scratching! (I say half decent for a beginner anyway). A true blast from the past indeed! 

Change Audio: Future Lounge & Trip Hop (2004)

A mixture of slow and summery downtempo tunes going through chill out, house, hip hop, soul and dubby electronica.. Recorded circa 2009 in Sunderland, England, UK. Listen to it day or night, and enjoy.

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
