try this site!

they've got every EM since time began

Untrue. They are missing all kinds of EM's. They've got a lot of 'em, but no where near "every EM since time began" .. Just check the list. They're missing a large amount from the mid-late 90's.

if you don't want to pay try soulseek I find all of them on it.

Radio one EM can be downloaded from the radio One website. I'm afraid it's in real time, and also each EM will only be available for the 7 days after the mix has been broadcast, and then removed, so no archive facility exists, but it' still better than nothing....

Here's the link:

It used to be called essentialmix.org. It's now defunked, and not in use. It stopped streaming current EM in 2001, when Radio One started streaming its shows. Now it's just the radio One website that offers them up to date, unless you want to pay for a mix from a privately run site.

great resource, unfortunately there is a charge, but its kinda worth it.

^ You mean essentialmix.ca ?? Cuz that is still very much alive and kicking... but maybe there was this other .org site that has now been shut down . I remember a tracklistings.org or whatever that had all da essentialmix tracklistings and I think also ran an FTP.. but that certainly has been shut down.

peloquin: Thanks for that ... I can't believe no one mentioned that in the thread before..... (in guiness commercial cartoon guy voice) brilliant!
