Born & bred in Leeds, Paul Murray was brought up on a healthy diet of acid house parties, illegal raves and the legendary Hacienda in Manchester.

In 1993 Paul was offered an exclusive Friday night residency at 'UpYerRonson' The Music Factory, Leeds where he gained his stripes as a leading House DJ playing alongside and gaining recognition from the likes of Sasha, Graeme Park, Paul Oakenfold, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Humphries, M-People & Sister Sledge to name just a few. He held the residency for 6 fun filled years of madness & wicked parties. Ask him now what was the highlight of his 6 years at 'UpYerRonson' and he'll tell you that every Friday was different and having clubbers actually coming to check his sets out rather than the so called 'big name' DJs was a compliment and testament to the talent & ability he has to create a vibe only that man Muzzcroft could do.

In 1996, his unique style and amazing talent got him his first summer residency at Amnesia, Ibiza where his sets on the terrace alongside Brandon Block were legendary and rocked the crowds week in week out. From his residency at Amnesia came offers to guest DJ at some of the Islands biggest clubs including Pacha, Es Paradis & Manumission and saw him regularly fly out to Majorca to play for Club Cream at their weekly night at BCM. Paul also hosted the pre-club parties at Cafe Mambo playing with some of the industries biggest DJs including Roger Sanchez, DJ Sneak & Erick Morillo. 

At the end of his first full season in Ibiza in 1996, Javi the owner of Cafe Mambos offered him to return next summer and become the new season resident DJ. Paul reluctantly tuned the offer down due to work commitments back in the UK but has continued to grace the magical white Isle and guested at clubs and bars from 1997-2000 where he played at some amazing one off parties.

Paul recently brought the UpYerRonson parties out of retirement for a series of one off parties. 
In August 2014 he put on a special party at The Faversham, Leeds to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the residency UYR held at The Pleasure Rooms between 1994-1996. 
August 2015 was the 21st Anniversary of UpYerRonson's sold out party they put on at Space, Ibiza in 1995. So to celebrate that amazing day, they put on an all day / all night terrace party and set about recreating the infamous Space Terrace on the outside area of Mint Warehouse, Leeds. The party was such a success that it's been placed up there with one of the best they've ever done. 
UpYerRonson ARE BACK and now throw 2 annual Day & Night Terrace Parties a year (end of May bank holiday Saturday & end of August bank holiday Saturday) from 2pm-2am at Mint Warehouse, Leeds and an annual Christmas Blowout Party on Mad Friday at Mint Club, Leeds.

In December 2016, UpYerronson decided to celebrate the 21st Anniversary of their Pleasure Rooms residency by taking over the original venue (now called Bar Soba)and transformed it back into The Pleasure Rooms for one night only! They even recreated the raised mezzanine floor where the DJs had to climb up a ladder to get to. Paul said "Being up there was quite surreal looking down on the crowd below thinking that we would never of thought that 21 years later, we'd be up here again playing music to the UpYerRonson crowd!"

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

Deep, pulsating grooves laden with inspired sonic crescendos that ebb, flow, peak and trough: these are the inimitable sounds of Dubfunk, one of Progressive House music’s truly formidable talents. From humble beginnings in his homeland of Egypt, global recognition for the quality of both his DJ performances and forward-thinking productions has seen Dubfunk firmly establish himself as a key player in electronic dance music’s ever-evolving landscape. And, having achieved so much in so little time thus far, it’s clear that this master of grooves’ meteoric rise has really only just begun … 

Renowned for crafting seamless deep mixes of distinction, as a DJ, Dubfunk’s sets have gleaned global notoriety for their smooth programming, flawless transitions and constant, resonant groove. Fueled by an eclectic blend of childhood musical heroes (including Led Zeppelin, The Doors and Nina Simone) and inspired via an epiphany induced by the iconic Northern Exposure and Global Underground compilations of the mid-1990s; his trademark penchant for embracing diversity and concocting cohesive fusions of s

Armed with many years of professional audio engineering career and a rare creative ability to write music from the heart that makes his mind and body sing; Dubfunk’s productions are imbued with a sublime mixture of technical precision and delicate sensibility that, together, have forged a unique, emotive sound that is all his very own. Drawing upon a passion for sounds deep within the broad spectrum of electronic genres yet forever staying true to his roots, since 2007 his tunes have been regularly championed by DJs the like of John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Slam and more; have made their way into the upper echelons of the world’s premier music download charts; and have consistently made their way onto a list of top-shelf labels including Global Underground, Audio Therapy and more. 

Furthermore, his association with these labels has in turn seen him at the helm of no less than six prestigious compilation releases: five for Global Underground (encompassing its ‘Electric Calm’, ‘Digitized’, ‘Synchronized’ and ‘5 Years Of GU’ banners) and one for Audio Therapy ‘This Is Audio Therapy Digital 2’. 

Constantly enthused and energized by the wealth of new sounds and electronic nuances that surround him, Dubfunk’s passion for music know no bounds. Although immensely satisfied with his DJ and production career, in 2007 he launched his own imprint: Dyami Records. Founded as a flexible vehicle for his own works and a catalyst for launching rising studio stars of today, tomorrow and beyond; Dyami specializes in forward-thinking tech-house & techno sounds, and has fast become a recognized seal of studio prowess and musical quality.
