Back to Mine explained

Back to Mine is a series of mix albums, usually mixed by DJs or composers of electronic music. The compilations usually feature artists other than the artist compiling the album, and are based on what the compiler would play in their home after a night out, rather than as part of a nightclub session.

The first volume was released in February 1999 by the DJ Nick Warren. Since volume seven, the albums have borne the subtitle "A personal collection for after-hours grooving".

Back to Mine was published by the Disco Mix Club, but ended the series with Volume 28. The artwork for Volumes 6–19 and 25–28 were produced by the London-based artist Tommy Penton.

Back to Mine returned in 2019 to celebrate its 20th anniversary with Nightmares on Wax, released on 25 January 2019.^[1]
