Ive been listening to music like this for 25 years and this transition into this tune is probably my favourite single mix of all time

Was blessed in my younger days to party in Nottingham where Tyrant played once a month on a friday. Best party days of my life i reckon - buzzing for dayzzzzzz 🙌🏼

Adam Freeland Essential Mix 2003 Re-Booted with Devil Fish

Recorded live for Cutters Choice Radio 02 Feb 2023

Really enjoyed recreating this one and putting my own twist on it hope you enjoy the remind...! 21 years ago Adam Freeland dropped his Essential Mix on the Pete Tong show on Radio One, which to this day is still one of my favourite mixes and truly stands the test of time! 

Although not really around much these days, Adam Freeland is still one of my favourite artists and I consider the godfather of Nu Skool Breaks along with Rennie Pilgrem. Head honcho of the Marine Parade label, during the late 90s and early 2000's he was prolific and was superb to see live. His Coastal Breaks and Tectonics mixes along with the Essential Mix (2003 and 2008) and Fabric Live mix compilations are still some of the best Breaks mixes you will hear.

Andrew Weatherall's full live session from 2020Vision presents back to basics at Village Underground December 17th 2011.  It was an amazing set spanning the full 20 years of his involvement in the club and beyond.  As soon as he dropped the beatless mix of Smokebelch the room was transformed.  Fittingly the set ends with the full version...

DE9 | Transitions

775 - Richie Hawtin DE9 Transitions (2005)

The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show on BBC Radio 1 currently broadcast between 0:00 - 2:00 AM UK time on Saturday morning. Originally broadcast on 30 October 1993, the Essential Mix features contemporary DJs and music producers of electronic dance music. The show has been presented since its inception by Pete Tong and features an uninterrupted two-hour mix from a different artist each week, overlaid with occasional continuity announcements delivered by Tong. With a broadcast run in excess of 25 years, the Essential Mix is one of the longest-running programmes in the current BBC Radio 1 schedule, and is one of very few Radio 1 shows which is not broadcast live.

Essential Mix 2000-01-30 - Laurent Garnier

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
