I also got the sasha & digweed one from this interview. I'm not sure if it's a fact, alternative fact, or a half truth. Ben Liebrand was already making mixes in the 80's.
Sasha: I think ‘Journey by DJs’ had already done a couple of releases. But I think Renaissance [The Mix Collection] was the first mix CD that had been done with multiple discs and really beautiful packaging and a whole marketing campaign behind it. It was treated like a major label release.
