Re: best Emix

So why make a comment that peoples suggestions in this thread are laughable? i don't particularly like all the DJ's you mentioned there, i mean Richie Hawtin bores me to tears but he is an excellent artist and has my utmost respect and if you enjoy him then fair play, i won't ridicule it, each to their own....

Thats a fair comment, but I guess I judge mixes in a different way ie. I look for originality, range of styles etc. 2 hours is a long time I think to throw something original up and actually break from the norm once in a while - I like to be suprised when listening to mixes.

Did none of these catch your fancy?

Aside from many of those already posted (just about any Sasha &/or Digweed set, Moshic and sander 2001)

Future Sound of London 1993
Paul Oakenfold live at Space, Ibiza Jul-1999 (before he bought into the cheese and put thought into his sets)
Richard Dorfmeister 2001
Danny Howells 2002 (where's the love for this leftfield mix?)
Tom Middleton 2005
Ben Watt 2005

and from the last year or so, we'll just have to see if they stand the test of time: Francois K, M.A.N.D.Y., Ame, Booka Shade, Damien Lazarus...

Re: best Emix

definitely - the Danny Howells and the Middleton ones are awesome ( although I prefered Middletons one from 2001 I think? ). FSOL and Dorfmeister I haven't heard but will track down. I didn't actually realise Ben Watt had one? The Oakenfold one I have probably heard ( all his ones from round that time are really good - that was when trance was really killing it ). If you haven't done so you should check out the Dope Smugglaz and the 1993 Heller and Farley mixes - both amazing for different reasons...

Re: best Emix

future sound of london for me... forgot which one

Re: best Emix

I thought the middleton star wars one was from last year, but maybe it was the 2001 mix...so many to remember

I'll definitely check out the dope smugglaz one and as for heller, I didn't realized he had one (or even that he's been around that long). He always impresses me...love the few live sets of his I have.

Middleton has done 2 - one of them is from 2001 ( I think ), really good shit. Theres been a few Terry Farley and Pete Heller ones but the one from 93 is my favourite one. The Dope Smugglaz one is awesome - LOADS of originality, off the wall samples ( without being stupid ), and just brilliant jacking house music......
