I'm very honoured to bring you a recording of a live Nicky Holloway set way back from '88, which I believe is from a night called 'Devil May trip'.
The night was a collaboration between Nicky's 'Trip' night which he ran at The Astoria, and group of guy's who ran some amazing parties around the Uxbridge/Bucks area west of London around that time and before with their nights called 'Devil May Care'.

The tape is a real insight to the summer of '88, and personally my mind was officially blown the first night I walked into Trip at the Astoria, and was officially obsessed from there on in (like so many others).

This tape was kindly passed on to me for uploading by George Georgiou as   featured recently on his Instagram page. 
Originally recorded by Nicky H for George back in '88 following persistent nagging by George back at the time, and recently rediscovered amongst a crate of cassette tapes. 
'A reminder of some blinders' was one of Nicky's fave strap lines for his flyers, as he used to tell George. 

George has designed artworks for so many legendary clubs/nights which include Trip, Sin, Shoom, Special Branch, The Milk Bar, RAW & Velvet Underground to name just a few! 
As Dave Dorrell once said..."George Georgiou's unmistakable art - bold, minimal, primary - splashes electrically through London's nightlife story".

*Please note at 46.34 mins the A-side finishes, & B-side begins...hence the gap.

On a personal note, I would like to thank George for trusting me with this tape. I was a member at Trip, Sin & went to many a Nicky Holloway party way back before the acid house explosion hit these shores, with his 'Doo's' nights' and numerous times seeing him play at Eddie Gordon's Slammer party's in an old rough biker pub (Red Lion), playing alongside Pete Tong, Dave Dorrell & Giles Peterson (downstairs) before they hit the big time, all in a run down industrial part of North Kent circa mid 80's...happy sweaty days. 

Hope you enjoy this 'trip' down hazy memory lane!
Seanie R, & George Georgiou

Excellent internet tag teaming today from the H.E.A.T boys in Dubai, aka Dan Chadwick (recommended by) and Danny Kwang (for the supplies). If you're out and about end of this month we'll probably see you down at their gig at Bliss Lounge Friday 28th Feb, Sheraton Hotel. Enjoy!

Was lucky enough to acquire a tape set of Larry Levan from the Paradise Garage back in 1985 from a woman close to the scene.

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.
