Classic Is Your Friend  - A visual history celebrating 30 years of Classic Music Company.
To mark three decades of house music mischief, community, and creativity, Classic Music Company presents Classic Is Your Friend: a beautifully crafted 12” x 12” softcover publication designed as much for coffee tables as it is for record shelves.
Lovingly put together by David Windmill—one of Classic’s original in-house designers—the book offers an expansive and intimate look at the label’s evolution, featuring an introduction by Music Journalist Claire Hughes, a heartfelt foreword by Honey Dijon and a reflective afterword by Classic co-founder Luke Solomon.
The book is split into two parts:
The first section dives into Classic’s formative era with unseen photography of the original Classic family, artists, staff and moments behind the music. Archive imagery from Classic’s legendary residency at The End. A full gallery of vinyl sleeves from CMC100 to 00 and the LP’s / compilations, presented in high-resolution, celebrating each as a piece of art. Plus Firsthand contributions and reflections from Classic’s original artists, including: Matthew Herbert, Dave Taylor (Solid Groove / Induceve), Nick Maurer, Markus Nikolai, Tim Shumaker (Home & Garden), Chris Nazuka, Doc Martin, Matt Edwards (Radio Slave), Roy Davis Jr, Ali and Basti Schwarz (Tiefschwarz), Colette, Rob Mello, Joshua Michaels (Iz), Brett Johnson, Chez Damier, Anu Pillai (Freeform Five), Neil Toliday (Nail), Lance De Sardi, James Curd (Greenskeepers), Justin Harris (Freaks), Isolée (Rajko Müller), Peter Kremeier (Losoul) and more.
The second section chronicles Classic’s rebirth in the 2010s and its global resurgence with full sleeve and digital artwork gallery from the modern Classic era. Portraits and insights from the new generation of Classic artists including: Seven Davis Jr, Honey Dijon, Eli Escobar, Girls of the Internet, Folamour, Shaun J. Wright, Alinka, Floorplan, Dave + Sam, Sophie Lloyd, JT Donaldson, Dam Swindle, Cakes Da Killa and others.
Plus photography from Classic’s international takeovers at Defected Croatia, Malta, and Printworks.
More than just a label retrospective, Classic Is Your Friend is a celebration of a movement—one that continues to push house music forward. This is Classic’s visual soul, captured in print for the first time.
