Sasha & John Digweed - 2004 Essential Mix

On The Line is a late-night tech house weapon inspired by the iconic energy of Green Velvet & Patrick Topping’s “Voicemail.”
Built around a hypnotic vocal hook and a rolling bassline, this track blends chunky percussion, cheeky phone-call samples, and a driving groove designed to keep the dancefloor moving.
Perfect for warehouse sessions, after-hours sets, and anyone who likes their house with attitude.

On The Line (FREE DL)

Analog Lung - Satori feat. Abi Ferraresi (SGW Bootleg Breaks Edit)

"Fuego" is a melody that transports me to some kind of Mayan or Aztec ritual. I imagine it as being high up in a pyramid in the middle of the jungle, listening to that guitar melody while the percussion builds until it breaks into the chorus, which would mark the beginning of some kind of ritual, giving thanks for life.

About the CD:
This out of all my mix CD's will likely bring back the most clubbing memories for the majority of my friends. It's hands down one of the greatest mix CD's of all time, a double pack of Sasha at his absolute peak, he was untouchable, worshipped like no other and unrivalled around the 1996-2000 era in the majority of opinions.  It defined a period of clubbing that had 50 Sunderland dance heads on a bus filling up half of the main room at Sasha's, Craig Richard's and Lee Burridge's 'Tyrant' night, at the Bomb in Nottingham. Which still holds strong as the best clubbing experience for most of us. It was legendary times, and this is a legendary mix CD. 

044 - Sasha - Global Underground 009 San Francisco - Disc 2 (1998)

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. 

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
