UK-based house label set up by Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon in 1995. The first 100 releases were numbered backwards from CMC100, as the label was originally conceived as a short-run project that would only release 100 records over a 10-year period. However, popular demand meant any plans to close the label once they'd counted down to CMC001 were soon shelved. Since 2010, the label and its catalogue have been owned by Defected, who continue to release new music under the Classic umbrella to this day. The label is known for its quirky, leftfield but always dancefloor-focused take on house music, with significant artists (apart from the two label owners) including Iz & Diz, Greens Keepers, Rob Mello and Style Of Eye. AKA Classic Music Company.
