Your Pick For Essential Mix Of The Year 2012, page 1

Given that the EM is a pile of wank for the most part these days but the next EM is picked by Tong and co for EM of the year.

He will pick Nicolas Jaar which was a pile of wank

I will go with Deetron for my EM pick for 2012
Photek was a close second

2012 was WEAK

still no hybrid EM or maya jane coles EM part deux.

Dubfire or Groove Armada were okay. Drumsound & Bassline Smith perhaps?

It was one of the naffest years ever for the Essenial Mix .... pppffftt.

I agree about naft years but its all gone downhill since 2006.

Groove Armada was not as great as their past years...

1. Dubfire
2. Liquid Soul
3. Maceo Plex
4. Nina Kraviz

For sure it has been a lean year for good EM. Radio 1 needs a firecracker inserted to bring us some decent underground, fresh djs....

agreed with the firecracker inserted...

Yeah I agree with everyone else... Dubfire was the pick of a bad lot... A very dissapointing year for the essential mix.... Remembering the times when I would go to woolworths get a fresh pack of TDK 120 cassetes, so looking forward until the next installment of Paul Oakenfolds world tour    Also live essential mix shows @ Gatecrasher Summer Soundsystem, Creamfields, Homelands ETC ETC - Good Times. I would be dog tired but I would force myself to stay awake to turn the tape over for the 2nd hour.... Oooooh how the mighty fall      

I didn't hear any credible mixes, so I'll go for none

Ah Yes, the fresh packs of TDK 120 Cassettes...oh how times change.
