Profile:

British remix service, and holding company. Disco Mix Club went into Liquidation in March 2023. However, DMC has been taken over by another company BUT still operates under the same name: DMC. All activities continue as before!

"Disco Mix Club" started as a remix service from the UK which still exists, founded by Tony Prince.

DMC started first in February 1983 with cassettes, then in July 1984 they left the cassettes, instead issuing on vinyl. There were one or more records with mixes and one or more records with previews. Now the main issues are on CD.

In 1986 they started a DJ mixing contest which is still held every year.

NOTE: Concerning the monthly DJ-only remix service issues: From 1990 to 1998 the US branch of DMC issued individual issues or sets that had some different track listings than the UK DMC releases due to licensing issues.

Since 2010, DMC started re-pressing older Commercial Collection on CD-R's instead of the original silver CD's. And since 2014 all releases appear on CD-R.

DMC also runs magazines "Mixmag" in the UK, and "Mixer" in the US.

Sublabels:

    I started doing radio in 1976 during my military service on American radio stations based in Germany. In 1983 I took over FM radio broadcasts in France and at the same time I worked in a record store. The DMCs of the time were much better and above all we were enthusiasts, not money-making machines!!!!! It's sad because the musical quality is getting poorer!!! Listen to these are for you to realize the wonderful time that we are lucky to live. https://www.mixcloud.com/bob-have-mercy/rare_grooves_attitude-fm_202201/

      DMC has some of the very best and very worst semi-official (and sometimes, I suspect, completely unauthorized) remixes of whatever's hot, and almost always aimed at the commercial club DJ. DMC also put out a couple of lines of high-quality mix/compilation CDs by famous DJs; see United DJs Of America and Back To Mine.

      As with other remix service labels, most releases are very small runs which sell out quickly and are not repressed, since the copyright owners have only granted a limited license.

      Sometimes they have original master tapes or stems to work with, and a famous DJ on their payroll puts a lot of effort into making a very professional and impressive remix. Other times (too often, really) the DMC "remix" is a slapped-together re-edit or acappella with a generic beat on top, a little sugar coating with almost no collectible value.

      Where DMC really shines is in their videos of the "DJ championship" contests they sponsor. There are some truly amazing performances by the world's best scratch DJs.

        If you care about having true lossless audio and not poor quality mp3 / lossy sourced audio, BEWARE of any Commercial Collection comps from about 2003 on. Around that time they must have hired monkeys to run their quality control department cause it's been downhill ever since on most tracks. - ESPECIALLY the "Two Tracker" and "Booty" tracks (which blows cause many of their two trackers are actually pretty clever).
