Recommended Essential Mixes, page 1

Guys, I am taking a leaf out of Lord Mallam of SLack bladder... and asking for recommendations of Essential Mixes from yesteryear.. basically because I am being slack and need some for a 24hour (I need 12 or maybe 24 if I do a  48 hour marathon) slot on my new formed Radio station... cheers in Advance...

However I reserve the right to ignore them all and choose them myself!!!                                                

and we reserve the right to ignore you.    

Yes you dooooooooo... but I doubt people won't beable to resist... slacker being one of them

Oh #$^% there are so many to choose from, crates in fact...  anyhow i have most of them on cd if you need any assistance...

cheers Dan, I've got everything upto about 2006... prefer the older stuff as it went south around 2004 with the odd exceptions

One that often get overlooked but deserves a play was Rhythm Masters from 2000. Its just nasty. Check it out people, highly recommended.

Sasha - 1/1/99 - Alex. Palace - Only thing I hate about this, is the sound quality is very poor at times but the tracks are top notch

Tom Stephan - 2001 - Nasty Tribal Bizness

Howie B - 1996 (just an amazing mix)

Casino Em and Home EM - PvD

Sander K and Seb Fontaine - Colors Room, Edinburgh 2002 (Sander's first 40 mins are cannot miss)

Sander K's Landmark 2001 EM

Leftfield  

both 94 and 00
steve lawler 2000
sander k 2001
digweed 2001 love weekend
dave clarke 1st 2nd and 3rd

and about 99% of them till 2005, they were just [essential]

after 2005, it was poor cept for a few...digweed, high constrast, joof

Ok so i have'nt mentioned any of Oakenfolds essential mixes as most of them are great in my opinion!!!!

If i had to choose 1 & only 1 essential mix as my fav of all time it would have to be Sasha & Maida Vale in May 2005.  I Was listening to your Radio Basildon the other day... Great idea, Keep up the good work..........            

track down the rhythm masters

Some nice one guys, many thanks,  I think I need to do a 48 hour broadcast!!!  

Andy, I will upload the 2000 and 1996 one as a double bill now, before I go to bed  

Cookie, no worries mate, glad you enjoyed it... hopefully will have 4 or 5 weeks worth of playlists soon enough, just doing week 2 this week and another soon enough... just loads of music to get through and loads of variety!!!
