The Chronicles of Tidy Trax According To Martin Dear (100 Total Bangers From 30 Years of Tidy)

In the year 1995, in the market town of Kettering in England, a record label was launched.

I instantly became a massive fanboy of all of the music that this label put out; back in my vinyl buying days I would go into record shops and if they had Tidy releases I would buy them without even pre-listening to them because I knew they'd be brilliant.

I was that much of a fanboy that I even went to the extent of having their logo tattoed on my leg

Tidy went on to become the biggest Hard House record label and brand in the world, spawning the sub-labels Untidy Trax, Tidy Two, Synapse and TDV records (in conjuntion with the late Tony De Vit)

Forward to 2025 and Tidy celebrates their 30th anniversary, and as the fanboy I was (and still am) I wanted to do something special to mark this occasion.

This 100 track mix, (recorded in one single eight and a half hour session) is my tribute to my favourite record label of them all

I hope it makes you smile and dance
