What is your favorite BBC Essential Mix? Posted on: 04.06.2012 by Kamala Temple I love the show, everyone always throws down a great set. Laidback Luke's essential used to be my favorite, but... after hearing Rustie's essential mix it definitely has my vote. If you haven't heard it I suggest you do! What is your favorite? http://soundcloud.com/rustie/essential-mix-bbc-radio-1
Lashawn Maycock 15.06.2012	Originally Posted by Paka Ono I was going to nominate this as well! I have listened to that set countless times! But #1 has to be Carl Cox live from the Que Club from 1996. Everytime I listen to that set, I imagine what it would have been like to be there in person. Totally agree, Coxy was (and still is IMO) superb, love his energy and the way he mixes it up. I saw him in 1996 at Tribal Gathering, which is still a highlight for me.

Kelsi Shong 12.06.2012	Originally Posted by bisco I cant believe no one has mentioned Gui Buratto!!! Deff. my go to ! Runner up got to be The Twelves. gotta agree with The Twelves
Debrah Arnaout 11.06.2012	Originally Posted by dripstep Major lazer I do like Switch and Diplo This. Although what sucks is that Switches half of the set is the EXACT same thing as their Keep Watch Mix for Mishka and I mean song for song transition for transition. which came first is the question. On top of that though in no particular order: Stanton Warriors 2004 Crookers 2008 Boys Noize 2009 Felix Da Housecat 2009 all of them are bangin in their own way.
Lashawn Maycock 11.06.2012	Originally Posted by Nicky H Laurent Garnier June 1994 http://soundcloud.com/r_co/laurent-garnier-essential-mix This, most definitely, awesome mix.
Celestine Porebski 11.06.2012	Originally Posted by backtothefront Paul Oakenfold's Goa Mix - Dec 1994 Not really a trance kind of guy, but this mix is pure genius.
Jesusita Capano 11.06.2012	Originally Posted by backtothefront Daft Punk - March 1997 Basement Jaxx - Nov 1997 - 96/97 were superb for dance music IMHO. there are so many... ) I'd also include Derrick Carter in 1996.
Shay Wyche 15.06.2012	Masters at work in the mid nineties. Introduced me to so many different types of music.

Twyla Tylinski 12.06.2012	CJ Mackintosh 1994 Live at the Ministry of Sound. Now this is a quality mix featuring some soulful and deep house tunes. I'm showing my age here but I remember listening to this live on Radio 1 in the early hours of the morning.

Werner Bile 11.06.2012	Unkle Sounds from 2002. Mindblowing.
Kamala Temple 11.06.2012	Whoever mentioned the james zabiela mix, thank you. It really is amazing. Gonna give the nicolas jaar one a listen later on.
Lashawn Maycock 06.06.2012	Originally Posted by Ed Paris talking about essential mixes. this guy right here uploaded every single essential mix. https://soundcloud.com/das-boy Yeah indeed, he's got a great collection there and good quality but I don't believe it's complete - there is, I believe, 986 Essential Mixes, but a few are repeats and I believe there are a couple of the rare ones missing but it's very impressive list let there be no doubt!
Lashawn Maycock 06.06.2012	mmm, tough Q this OP but up there for me (mainly as my formative years in this thing we call House was around then): Danny Rampling - 1993 Dave Seaman & Steve Anderson (Brothers In Rhythm) - March 1994 Paul Oakenfold's Goa Mix - Dec 1994 LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad - July 1995 Live from The Que Club & Cream - both Dec 1995 Billy Nasty - March 1996 Sasha, Rampling, Tong - Live from Amnesia, Ibiza - July 1996 Tribal Gathering 1996 - coz I was there, remember Coxy dropping Born Slippy, awesome moment. Daft Punk - March 1997 Tuff Jam - Oct 1997 Dreem Team - Dec 1997 Basement Jaxx - Nov 1997 - 96/97 were superb for dance music IMHO. M&S - Dec 1998 there are so many... )
Eleanor Nolazco 05.06.2012	Its not my favourite but Flux Pavilions was pretty good. Im not much of a dubstep guy but after listening to that I saw myself downloading more and more dubstep. It was really well made mix, props to flux
Ara Tima 05.06.2012	Originally Posted by LiamC Do you have it in anything decent quality? I can't stand the quality of them anymore http://soundcloud.com/r_co/nicolas-j...sential-mix-19 There is heaps on Soundcloud.

Do you have it in anything decent quality? I can't stand the quality of them anymore Netsky's mix is also INCREDIBLE if you're into that cheesy sound

Ara Tima 04.06.2012	Originally Posted by oliosky you catch Jamie Stevens around Melburn town much? He still DJs alot i believe. Sure do. He's done a lot of solo work in recent years and he has a new live project he's been working on with Steve Ward. Steve Stevens http://pulseradio.net/articles/2012/...-steve-stevens We're quite lucky in Melbourne, amazing scene for that type of music, the locals (Phil K, Jamie, Darius Bassiray, Mike Callander etc) are international calibre. We even get Pappa for a month or so a year when he comes home.

Thinking about it, Rustie's isn't exactly my favorite, just what i'm into right now. Now I have to listen to all these other suggestions.

Emilia Dielmann 04.06.2012	pendulum, back in the day
Maya Beierschmitt 04.06.2012	So hard to pick a favorite. Ones I really enjoy and have listened to 10+ times: Laickback Luke, Nero, Avicii, deadmau5 (the last hour is absolutely dreamy), Above & Beyond 2011, Cosmic Gate, Netsky, and Alex Metric.
Johnetta Olewine 04.06.2012	Originally Posted by Percy Greg Wilson! Absolutely. That mix was a cracker from start to finish. On a similar tip so was the lindstrom and prins tomas EM. Lush funkiness. I still listen to the Oakenfold EM live from home sydney in 1999. Before Oakenfold, and trance, went to complete shit.
Cole Maroto 04.06.2012	i haven't listened to very many essential mixes to be honest but my favorite is surprisingly fake blood's mix. it was a very technically solid mix and the flow was amazing. i like how it was split into the two separate sections. i believe there were moments of nero's mix that were genius as well. i've also listened to the sub focus mix and i didn't really like it. to me it seems like he is always trying to mix 2 songs both during heavy drops and it ends up sounding bad and squashed cause there's no headroom left. i actually find a lot of dubstep and dnb djs do this though, so maybe it's just me who doesn't like it.
Georgina Schatzman 04.06.2012	Originally Posted by DigitalDevil Trentemoller That was a good one for sure, no doubt about it. But I still would have put the SOS mix above it for Essential Mix of the Year.
