Quite an ironic typo there possibly!!

So this is being recorded for the 500th broadcast. Will that be a live broadcast or will it be played back later?

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Press release for this just been released, as if the line up wasnt good enough already looks like there is goin to be another guest on top of these.

Circus presents
The 500th Essential Mix DJ
Liverpool – Friday 23rd April

As if this weekends extravaganza with John Digweed, Ricardo Villalobos, Yousef and Greg Wilson et al wasnt enough.. It probably doesn’t really get any better, any bigger and any more immense than this:

Liverpool’s leading house night, Circus, one of the most respected and revered sessions in the land, has been asked by Radio 1 to present the 500th DJ Essential Mix.

BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong will host a live broadcast at this event, 1am – 5am, with the monumental 500th DJ to grace the Essential Mix desks. Voted by an expert industry panel the chosen DJ will the revealed on the night in front of a live audience.
Along with dance music luminary Pete Tong, Circus resident and promoter Yousef will be present alongside two huge guests: globe-trotting legends Sasha and Richie Hawtin, who makes his mouth-watering debut at The Masque. This is one of Circus’ most inspired lineups and represents just how far the club has evolved; working together with Radio 1 for the world-famous Essential Mix is a huge honour for all involved at the club.

Yousef says that, “After being a avid follower of the world famous Essential Mix since day one and after doing 3 studio mixes myself and even two live hosts myself, now being asked to house the celebration of the 500th Essential Mix is literally the best pat on the back we could of ever wished for at Circus. After 7 years of Circus relentlessly growing and developing and aiming high, it’s good to know that our independent efforts are recognised enough by our peers to be trusted with such and immense accolade. We've been asked by Radio 1 to deliver a line up suited to the 4 hour Live broadcast 500th Essential Mix DJ, in true Circus style, we are doing our up most to go in at a jaw dropping level... we are keeping it all in the smaller venue we use, our original home - The Masque

The loyal Circus followers will literally have not seen anything like what will be happening on April 23rd in Liverpool, ever!”

nm: he's in Germany on that date.

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Haven't the Essential Mix show been going on longer than this though?

Just do the math, a show a week, 52 weeks a year, that brings up to roughly 500 shows in 10 years but hasn't it been going since '93?

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Oakey maybe?

An hour each for Tong, Sasha & Hawtin then a 2 hour bonanza from the 500th EM guest?

Yeah but on dj's have done more than one. Carl Cox has done loads of them.

And apparently the 500th dj will be someone who hasn't played the club before.
A producer/dj who's records get played by lots of different types of dj's maybe??

Re: Sasha/Hawtin Essential Mix

Has anyone actually seen Tong live (other than a BBC or festival event)? I did a few years back and remember him playing some ridiculously sexy prog and techno. Very good set. If only he'd do that on his essential mixes!

i actually did catch him just a couple weeks back .. decent set imo .. tech house with a few classics thrown in and my friends and I were joking that he just needed a mic to talk over his mixing and it would just be exactly like his radio shows except that it's 'live'

They're just saying it's going to be the 500th Essential Mix, not 500th DJ, no?
