wish we would eb able to hear what former fellow Loft DJ Frankie Knuckles has to say about this. For the ones who do not know ariound 1977 he deciced to move to Chicago where a friend opened a new called Warehouse. Consequence was that 'house music". Oh BTW Larry Levan also started working at teh Loft and then moved to Paradise Garage which ended with garage house"

053 - Journeys By DJ volume 5 - Paul Oakenfold (1994)

We don't need an introduction here... Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers simply has a sound of his very own... & if you been in tha house scene for tha past, well myself since 1985... there simply isn't any1 on thiz planet that can match 2 what Larry creates muzikally.
Besides muzik, Larry has been a very close friend for many yrs. He has been with me through many of my personal life battles in this life & always checked up on me  & would send Bible verses 2 pick me up as my Christian brother who I love with all my heart!!! <3
So with that being said, I believe you will feel Larry's love through tha frquencies...

N-JoY!!!

Fri - Morning Mix

Bluesy Mind – Reggae Infused by The Jamaica Band vs Alan Jack Civilization is a genre‑crossing reinterpretation that bridges French blues‑rock with Jamaican reggae. Alan Jack Civilization, known for their raw guitar riffs and soulful blues energy, provide the foundation of the album’s expressive, rock‑driven spirit. The Jamaica Band re‑imagines these textures through reggae’s hallmark off‑beat guitar skank, deep bass lines, and laid‑back rhythmic pulse. The result is a striking fusion where the intensity of European blues‑rock meets the warmth and groove of Caribbean reggae, transforming the album into a dialogue between two musical traditions—gritty blues storytelling and reggae’s universal rhythm of resilience.

François K - Tribute To The Divas

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
