***THANK YOU FRANKIE, YOU CREATED A WAY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF US. YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER***

About the CD:
An absolutely epic house CD released in 1996 by the fine folks at MOS. This one was actually a swap with a certain ginger friend for something else (hope he doesn't ask for it back) although it was swapped for something good so maybe it's not a bad thing. This Frankie Knuckles mix features some incredible tracks including all time favourites Ken Lou - The Bounce, Lil Mo Yin Yang - Reach, X Press 2 - The Sound and many many more. It is indeed, a banger.

091 - Frankie Knuckles -  Ministry Of Sound  Sessions Vol. 6 - Disc Two (1996)

DJ and producer, Terry Farley heads back to the 'second summer of love' and celebrates some of the biggest Acid House tracks, 25 years on.

Along with Andrew Weatherall, the duo started the now notorious Boy's Own fanzine in 1986, which commented on the slang, the parties, the tunes and the humour of the acid house days, and which also lead to the creation of the label Junior Boys Own. This imprint specialised in dance music and put out records by Orbital and Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers, which celebrates 15 years this year.

Terry began making productions with Andy Weatherall, Hugo Nicholson and Pete Heller under the name Bocca Juniors. He later teamed up with Pete Heller and has gone on to re-mix many of the world's leading artists and singers: everyone from U2 to New Order; to the Happy Mondays and Primal Scream at the height of Balearica. He has also produced Kylie Minogue, The Farm and M People.

Taking to the decks in Concourse midway through the recent Hacienda Depot Mayfield event, Greg Wilson again deftly delivers a finely refined set as has come to be expected from one of dance music’s early UK originators and pioneers.

Bringing together his own edits and tapes to defining, classic tracks, Greg opens with a special tribute in his re-versioning of  808 State’s “Pacific State “ and follows with seminal cuts including Don Carlos “Alone”, Graeme Park’s “Back To Love” remix and the very first mix of TC1991 “Berry” which took the club scene by storm on initial import release.

A live version of Orbital’s “Chime “opens up the back end of the set which sees an airing of the long forgotten Frankie Bones’ and Lenny Dee's electro fused “Just As Long As I Got You”, with Greg also pulling out his mixes of Adonis “No Way Back”, Electronic’s “Getting Away With It” and Black Box’s “Everybody” for the Hacienda faithful at the November event.

Big thanks to friend of the site and North East legend Mr. Antony Daly for recommending our very special 150th episode. As many will know, Daly's been djing and promoting around the North East of England since the mid 90's, particularly with his seminal Reverb and Suono parties which are nothing short of Newcastle folklore.

Right now, he's now busier than ever after opening the incredibly popular  586 Records (3rd Floor, Commercial Union House, Pilgrim Street, Newcastle). Which has become the go to place for vinyl collectors around the region full of classics from music's finest corners. The shops also moving into selling brand new wax so you're well covered.

He picked this cd as it was simply massively influential to him growing up and has been played countless times. So thanks for sharing Tony, a quality selection and all the best in your new venture!

back to basics // the>music:factory years part one // 1991-94

Running from 1986-1992, the Boy’s Own fanzine became known as ‘the village newspaper of acid house’: celebrating, documenting, and at times mercilessly lampooning the scene as it transformed everyone from the football terrace casual to the suburban soulboy. Three decades on, Terry Farley, Pete Heller and Andrew Weatherall are among the key Boy’s Own alumni still shaping dance music today.

Listen to the exclusive, incredible, Farley & Heller ‘Boys Own Summer Of Love’ mix now.

Mix cds were the soundtracks of our nights, our days, our afterparties, our lives. But in the internet age, the artform has been lost to online mixes which simply don't create the same magic your CD collection did. 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.
