pollon - lonely planet followed by dust was a great into, as was apollo vibes by the track i liked most be creamer & k - love in traffic.

loving the ambient mix of stars too, i liked the way nick warren opened with it on his set live@ the tlv tel aviv.

So far I didn't hear better opener than the one in Parks and Wilson's emix from 2000 - they started with a some traditional japanese tune and then went straight to Tilt "The dragon" , it's massive for me

I also liked digweed's opening from 2004 New Year's party

Well for me it`s gotta be Sasha - @ One World, Glastonbury 27/06/03. I`m not one for hearing the crowd on a set but coupled with the first track it really makes my hair stand on end. I`m not a train spotter but i`m sure one of you guys know`s what it`s called.

Coco Da Silva "The Shiva Chant"


He started his set at Fabric with it the month before as well, awesome tunage



However my favorite intro must be when Sasha used Jody Watley "I'm The One" (Dead Zone Mix) really fucking incredible and set the tone for a simply classic set.

one of my faves is the intro to NE1..
with the David Attenborough sample

^^^good call

It was a really short set, but the intro to Digweed's pre-Miami Hotmix on Radio1, complete with Petey Tong on the voiceover is so monsterously epic, it makes my head spin.

I really like the intro for tkac and haverlik at oslo nights...
Central Rush - Out Of Focus is a really cool song

I am wondering if this is the opening track on Polefolder's studio 80MGH
mix??? That tune is sweet!

Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.

for me it is an old school one ...

the artist Paul Oakenfold.
the year 99.
the place Homelands.

Hmm, I think this is the one record that I saw go for like $85 bucks on Ebay. I think it's called Orkidea - Unity or something like that (Orkidea I know for sure). It samples some songs vocals.... If I'm thinking of the right set of course.


For me:

Sasha E-Mix of 2000 (John Johnson - Impact [Van Bellen mix] )

Deep Dish - Kiss set Live @ Bedrock (Weekend World - The word)
I thinks N Warren also used it on one of his GU cd's

...and cant forget good old Oakey's opening tune from his '99 tour in Sydney... Narcotik - Blue (Platipus) <-- Lovely indeed!!

great track!!

Wow! "The Dragon" by Tilt was my first Essential mix experience. Fucking rad! But now my fav opener was from 24/7 night disk:
Bent- Ordinary day-i can listen to that mix on repeat forever!

[Morgan]

well, it's a live set for me, and wow, it's from digweed.

the year he won #1 dj from dj mag, and broadcast his ceremony or whatever from bedrock on his kiss show, like nov 5th or something 2001 i'm thinking. anyway, some girl introduces him as #1 , the crowd screams like mad, he drops that Peace Division cut. I wet my pants.

You should have been in the crowd mate, it was awesome.

How about Danny Howells Nocturnal Freq 3 CD2
Mario Picotto, Mix mag cover 2003
Groove Armada Vertigo

Re: Best Intro/Start to a set or cd.
