The Mix Archive · First 50 founding members
Love the old mixes? Help me make this better.
I'm inviting up to 50 classic progressive house and trance fans to explore my Members Club, test the site and tell me what works, what doesn't and what's missing.
First 50 free places
A proper look around, with your honest feedback.
I built The Mix Archive for the records, mixes, DJs and memories I still love. If you remember hunting down Global Underground CDs, Renaissance compilations or a half-remembered Essential Mix, this is for you.
A free founding place means ongoing Members Club access without a monthly charge, if you're eligible and successfully claim a place. It isn't a promise of a free place just for registering. The live offer and place count are checked when you claim.
How it works
Four simple steps.
Step 1
Create a free TMA account
Use your email and a password. Creating an account is free; you won't be charged just for registering.
Step 2
Verify your email
Enter the six-digit verification code sent to you, then sign in to your account.
Step 3
Claim your free founding place
Once you've verified your email, sign in and open My Account to claim a place immediately if any remain. Your account confirms whether you've successfully claimed one.
Step 4
Explore and tell me what you think
Enjoy the Members Club features your account unlocks. Send broken links, issues and ideas using the feedback form below.
Free places are limited and first-come, first-served. Signing up doesn't hold one. If the offer is paused or places are gone, your account will show the actual options before any payment.
What you get
More than another playlist.
Keep your favourites
Try My Archive, the Listening Passport and organised listening journeys so good finds don't get lost again.
For CD and vinyl collectors
Explore the Collector's Room, release research, collecting guides and your own lists.
Find people who remember
Try member discussions, the Listening Club and archive requests as those features develop.
Public mixes and available Mixcloud/YouTube listening links remain free to everyone. Members Club adds deeper research and organising tools; TMA does not sell downloads or host the audio.
What I need from you
Tell me the good and the bad.
I'd love to hear whether the music is easy to find, which pages you keep coming back to, what feels confusing, where links have stopped working, and what features or forgotten sets you'd like me to add. You don't have to be technical. A short, specific note is far more useful than polite praise.
Beta feedback & issues
Found something? Let me know.
Use this form to report an issue or suggest an improvement. Reports go into a private queue that I can review and mark as resolved. Email alerts are sent when the notification service is configured. If you can't log in, email kelvin@themixarchive.co.uk, or visit my Facebook Page.

Come and say hello on Facebook.
I'm sharing forgotten mixes, classic records, tracklists and progress on the site as I go. I'd love you to join the conversations.
