The third and final volume of Classics 30th Anniversary vinyl series brings the party full circle - blending deep catalogue cuts, future-forward house, and tracks from the labels tight-knit family of collaborators.

Like the volumes before it, this 2x12 release arrives in a raw reverse board outer sleeve, a nod to the aesthetic of Classics earliest releases. Inside, bold yellow and red GMUND card stock inner sleeves with embossed detailing reflect the labels long-standing commitment to design, artistry, and collectability.

Record One kicks off with a certified Classic family affair. Home & Gardens Sexuality...He's 2 Young features the unmistakable voice of DJ Colette, a staple of Classics early era. Included here is JT Donaldsons Porno Beat Down Remixa stripped, low-slung rework with an irresistibly funky bass line and pure dance floor chemistry.

Brett Johnsons Jiffy Pop, from his legendary Bounce! EP, follows up with a jittery, swaggering groove that epitomises Bretts playful, funk-laced production style. Infectious, weird, and entirely unforgettable.

On the flip, Tiefschwarzs Acid Soul delivers a moody, muscular roller. Originally released during their prolific run on Classic in the early 2000s, it fuses baritone sax stabs, a Berlin-borne bass line, and a sultry vocal into a deeply spiritual house cut.

Roy Davis Jr. closes Side B with the propulsive About Love (Solid Groove Remix)a tough and driving interpretation by Dave Taylor thats long been a DJ favourite in the Classic vaults.

Record Two showcases Classics more recent sonic evolutions. JT Donaldsons return to the label in 2019 came with Stay Inside, a rich and breezy groove featuring the soulful voice of Liv.e. Its an elegant and understated slice of modern house with timeless appeal.

Then comes Dam Swindles funk-charged Hey Mister. A punchy, bass-driven jam built around a 70s reggae-disco vocal sample. Raw and infectious, its been lighting up dance floors worldwide since its release.

Luke Solomons catalogue on Classic is vast, but Come on Over, his collaboration with Amp Fiddler, earns its place here. Seeing vinyl release for the first time, this cut overflows with musicality. Amps passionate vocal, free-time breakdowns, and deep funk grooves deliver pure emotional punch.

And to close, a modern masterpiece: Honey Dijons Work (Extended Mix), taken from her Black Girl Magic LP. Featuring Dave Giles II, Cor.Ece, and Mike Dunn, this powerhouse track brings together fierce vocal performances, live instrumentation, and top-tier production. It embodies everything Classic stands for: collaboration and innovation on the dance floor.
