There's also Disc 2 & 3, be sure to check out my other posts from this awesome, historic era!
On a personal note: I was extremely fortunate to experience and witness the early days of House Music myself from 1990 onwards - aged 16. Then, nightlife and the subsequent lifestyle sucked me in and they were truly times of pure ecstatic excitement and adventure, and then to also watch it evolve in all kinds of subgenres; one more tantalizing than the other. I will never forget it.
The music felt like it was both energetic and magical, and more than once it was like an escape. DJ’s grew into celebrities right in front of your eyes, and if they were any good, they would take you on a long and mysterious journey through the dark night. And sometimes day.
Don’t get me wrong, I love all my fellow Dutch DJ’s and others who are so popular, but the music now simply cannot be compared to that of 15 - 30 years ago. DJ Sets would often have a start, a buildup that sometimes would go on for hours, and a hefty climax.
Nowadays, a track has to immediately start with a chorus, or have one within 15 seconds from the start, otherwise kids get bored and skip to the next track on their Spotify. That seems to be the sad, current state of the music industry.
They’ll probably never experience a music scene like it was back then, full of addictive energy from a new music genre that was quickly taking over the world, one beat at a time.
Consider these uploads from the Progressive House genre (one of my favorites) like some sort of testimony from an era gone by. These mixes will always stick with me.

Reminds me of sitting on the beach in Australia (on holiday before we moved here from London). The years of Hanover Grand, The Cross, Ministry, The Aquarium

[@AK-74K]

Great upload! This mix is the one that turned me to progressive house, full of absolutely beautiful tunes. My favs here are the Desert tune and Fade's remix of Cry.

[@AvatarEnd777]

Same!

[@ivarsvensen1228]

Rarely do I care to comment on these, but you seem to have hit the nail so on the head. This triple pack of cds has such a special place in my heart. And I hope I will never worry that it takes so many tracks and so many minutes to get off the ground

One of Dave Seaman’s finest mixes in my opinion. This and Renaissance London he knocks it out of the park - autumnal, sultry and atmospheric, here he weaves something autonomous. more than the sum of its parts, it is unique. His later mixes went more prog trance which I never enjoyed so much. Mellowed after to some degree. This though was a real sweet spot.

Dank je voor het uploaden van deze fantastische serie !! Mijn CD's ben ik tijdens de overstroming in Juli 2021 verloren :( Nu de kans ze weer te kunnen luistern)

Didnt know that Deep Dish had an earlier version of The Future Of The Future! Woow this Stay Gold track is awesome.

01:00:01 Chicane - Offshore (Disco Citizens Mix) 01:10:01 Power Circle - A Little Love, A Little Life (Accapella) That Chicane track for closing the set and that "A Little Love, A Little Life" acapella always give me goosebumps.

[@patrick9865]

They don't make them like this anymore. For what it's worth, I never heard a set like this in a club, either - it's at times too ambient and too vocal-ish. Even Dave himself wasn't playing sets like this out in the late 1990s; I used to go see him hoping he would!

[@fagpipes]

I feel every word in you're description. spot on. I was 15 when I accidentally bought this album. I'm so glad I did.

[@streetsoundselectro124]

Not one of these series in the renaissance class miss the spot. Every cd in the series are just class

[@TheJDUBMedia]

Love this mix, 96-99 was a great time in dance music. Dave Seaman and Quivver really defined this era for me!

[@adrianstones9376]

Desert what a beautiful track

[@ivarsvensen1228]

Desert - Moods is the ultimate example of this kind of music

[@yannwakeman8261]

This CD is the f***ng most best Mix of the late 90's ... I had sooo good times with it, back then, and ever after ;-)
