BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes

[nosurprises12]

pearson sound this week? legit.

Nice; his Fabriclive mix this year is awesome too.

[Oranix]

pearson sound tonight! tune in yall.

[guedita]

surely u mustve heard his breakout song! probably the song of the summer in my opinion. but yeah hes got the uk bass sound on lockdown. def blends in well with the dirtybird crew. (hes signed to dirtybird recently)

I did not know this song. I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner.

How was the Pearson Sound mix, for those who listened?

[grannock]

I heard a bit and im dling it atm. Sounded mainstream but good for what i heard.

Now that it is december is it too early to start an essential mix of the year conversation?

I thought pete tong did a great job in selecting talent this year.

#1 sbtrkt - i am a total fan of his style: hard, interesting tracks and complicated mixes.

#2 japanese popstars - the more i listen to that mix the more it crushes from top to bottom.

# 3 netsky - best dnb or heavy bass style mix this year.

#4 beardyman - im constantly impressed with what he does by himself flwoing through unlimited genres.

# 5. Ill go with eats everything strictly because it was live.

Homorable mentions to modselektor, pearson sound( very good btw), julio bashmore, art dpt.

Amazing mix and tracks by pearson. One of my favorites this year.

My top 5 EMs are probably
Jamie xx
Pearson Sound
Art Department
Eats everything
Maya Jane Coles

[Bud Luster]

Kalkbrenner gets my vote for EM of the year.

[bender]

My favorites are:
Eats Everything
SBTRKT
Pearson Sound
Jamie xx
Brookes Brothers


and Grannock that Netsky mix is from October 2010.

[grannock]

I should mention paul kalbrener(sp?) his was badass.

[nyarlathotoats]

I instantly fell in love with Eats Everything. That shit goes hard. Hopefully a Coachella appearance is in the works...

[unknown]

I enjoyed Pearson Sound's EM much more than I thought I would. I guess I expected more of that jukey footwork sound but was pleasantly surprised. Couple meh tracks but that comes with most 2 hour mixes.

[Ross1492]

Gave the Art Department EM a proper listen last night. Loved it.

The Morgan Geist track and James Blake remix in the back half are monsters. I could see them, or someone like them, garnering a decent crowd in the sahara and killing a mid-afternoon slot.

[InF3cT10uZ]

So far I'd say my top 5 are

Above & Beyond
SBTRKT
Netsky
Japanese Popstars
Beardyman

[hiphophd]

SBTRKT
Beardyman
Derrick Carter
Dimitri from Paris
A Trak

[hiphophd]

Okay move A trak and replace with Art Department. Nice!

[303dubbin]

So far I'd say my top 5 are

Above & Beyond
SBTRKT
Netsky
Japanese Popstars
Beardyman

it was in 2010 brah

[InF3cT10uZ]

And by Netsky i meant Joker

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I am legitimately getting down so hard to the Magda EM in the office right now.

[SDsoldier7]

Holy fuck, I can already tell Art Department's EM will be gold. Easily my favorite mix this year is Art department live @ sonar. Get it NOW!

i concur. hoping their coachella set will be just as bad azzz


edit:
someone hook me up with the jamie xx em. please!

[boarderwoozel3]

2011 EM > 2010 EM

No doubt.

[Mordecai]

The short list....

[grannock]

I hope one of the really solid ones get represented. Mark wood this week was boring.

[Mr. Porter]

Finally got around listening to Above and Beyond's EM right now, while on 50 mg of diphenhydramine lol...pretty good so far

Maybe buy a large quantity of plastic knifes and put them facing upward and sit on them.

[juloxx]

Not really a dubstep guy myself, but I ended up giving Jokers EM a listen... I gotta say, I really liked it. He is really good and synthesizing bass sounds.


Who all you gonna be voting for for EM of the year?

[Electrotek]

Their 04 Essential Mix was phenomenal though.

[303dubbin]

it was tough though, i could have voted for a few that are on the list
