Back to Mine
Encyclopedia
Back to Mine is a series of mix albums, usually (though not always) mixed by renowned DJs or composers of electronic music
. The compilations usually feature artists other than the artist compiling the album, and are based on what the artist would play at home after a night out, rather than as part of a nightclub
session.
The first volume was released in February 1999 by DJ Nick Warren
. Since volume seven, the albums have borne the subtitle "a personal collection for after-hours grooving".
Back to Mine is published by the Disco Mix Club (DMC), but ended the series with Volume 28.
