093 - Carl Cox -  F.A.C.T - Disc 1 (1995)

I'm making the aftermovie for the TunnelBeats techno party. This is the audio that goes over it.

Tunnelbeats aftermovie track mini mix

AR003
24.10.2025

Active in the techno scene for over 13 years and having released on several labels, it’s now time for the third round of self-releases with AR003.
Once again, moving away from the BPM craze, pop edits, and flashy effects — back to the classic roots of pure, simple techno.
Loopy, Hypnotic.

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.

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.
