011 of the series... United DJs of America feat. Mark Farina. A very special mix for the US house connoisseurs amongst you. Mark Farina is a name much loved by many yet one who rarely makes an appearance on UK turf. Arguably the king of deep jazzy house, sprinkled with that west coast sunshine vibe. He's the man behind Om Records & Mushroom Jazz, and sit's alongside Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak on the throwns of US house music. Turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

About the CD:
Our 50th episode is a recommendation from one of the UK's most talented djing duos, People Get Real aka Simon Lister and Peter Wilson. After quickly establishing themselves as Newcastle heavyweights, the lads have gone onto play the epic Hideout Festival in Croatia every year, they've been Wax:On residents for years and played pretty much everywhere including Fabric, Japan and Ibiza to name a few. They're also the brains behind the excellent Join Our Club records.

This selection shows the understanding of music and versatility they're famous for. Here Morgan Geist pulls together disco rarities from 1978 - 1985 and brings a welcome change to our tradition CDs features on this page. Thanks again for the shout PGR! Turn it up, and enjoy the mix.

German producer Tilman puts his personal spin on Sharon Redd’s classic Activate, delivering two distinct reworks that both nod to the roots of house music while offering fresh dancefloor appeal.

The Metro Mix channels early proto house energy – raw and driving with a no-frills groove that brings out the track’s underground potential. A tribute to stripped-back club tools with just the right amount of grit.

Meanwhile, the Paradise Mix smooths things out, layering warm pads, flowing piano chords and mellow grooves into a deep house rework that feels timeless and inviting.
Both mixes highlight Tilman’s instinct for balance – between function and feeling, rhythm and harmony – and reimagine Activate with care, character, and club awareness.

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.
