BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes

[Kyliediscope]

I am really enjoying the 2 Bears essential mix. I am disappointed to read that the Maceo Plex EM was dull. I have really enjoyed a lot of the tracks he has come out with. I'm going to listen later and form my own opinion.

[grannock]

Scuba is very nice, 2nd half moreso.


Ive got azari III # 1
Lvis #2
Scuba#3
So far for the new year. What does everyone else think?

[unknown]

I'm only 30 minutes into Scuba's and it's already exceeding my expectations... which weren't very high. Hopefully the rest holds up, judging by the t/l it should.

edit: finally completed the full mix and the last hour - particularly from 1hr30min on, is excellent. And then the last track hah

[guedita]

It excites me that he uses some Locked Groove tracks. Going to listen to it soon.

[Zero23]

Goddamn Scuba's mix is fire. I've been groovin' to it for the past 2 days, I'd also recommend checking out his 2011 mix live from Sonar, I listened to that first and it was great. In my opinion Scuba and L-Vis 1990 are tied for top mix of the year so far...

[lt.roast.a.botch]

whoa, agreed on scuba. great essential mix. going to check out that sonar mix now.

[Oranix]

Scuba
L-Vis 1990
Azari & III

are my top 3 for the year so far. interested in Butch this friday. man pete keeps rolling out these great artists. really happy/excited for them. im thinking some cheese will be coming up in the next few weeks though.

[tmac]

scuba's mix was quality. really diggin his new album too

[Zero23]

ok after listening 3/4 through it, it really didnt go anywhere.. it was kinda boring :/

an Essential Mix that DOES have longevity is probably Jokers EM...still so good after a few months. anyone know any artists similar to Joker?!

Ok, I LOVE Joker as a producer, his sound is fucking awesome. But did anyone else think his transitions were questionable, and at times absolutely terrible? I watched a video from his set at Beyond Wonderland 2011 and the mixing was pretty bad too. One user commented that his mixing is just "quirky " and that you should never underestimate Joker. Not really sure what the fuck that means.

I also dj, and though I'm not saying that I'm great by any stretch of the imagination, I think I can tell a solid transition from a shaky one, and there were quite a few times during Joker's mix when I was surprised at how bad it was. I think there was even one point where he transitioned by slowly turning down the volume on one track and just pressing play to start the next, that really bothered me haha.

[guedita]

Who has listened to the Butch EM from last night? I'm about to dive in.

[grannock]

It was good. I expected more trance just from his name and appearance. Im glad he didnt live up to my expectation.


I give it 3.5 tongs.

[unknown]

I just saw Martyn's EM is on 3/17. I saw him in Vancouver on Saturday at a RBMA event and HOLY SHIT he was fucking excellent. Granted, it was a live set but I'm sure his EM won't disappoint.

[hippityhip]

whoa, agreed on scuba. great essential mix. going to check out that sonar mix now.

sonar mix was boring imo. Maybe I should check out Scuba's current mix and give it another shot?

[grannock]

Goot-i

[Zero23]

Martyn's essential mix is great. Currently LOVING Rustie's. The new Hudson Mohawke he drops near the beginning is fucking fantastic.

[LiquidL]

OP's link is now dead

[grannock]

Ever since they moved the timeslot they have booked awful talent. Comon pete!

[brando4n82]

Groove Armada on the decks next week..

[fiopadp7791]

Ever since they moved the timeslot they have booked awful talent. Comon pete!

yeah... is it an hour earlier now? 2 hours earlier?

[grannock]

Groove should bring it

[Mr. Dylanja]

The Maceo Plex EM has really grown on me. I wasn't impressed initially, but now I love it.

[grannock]

Ya, ive been givin it more time as well. Seth troxler em from last year had the same effect.

[Mr. Porter]

Groove Armada EM is pretty awesome so far

[lt.roast.a.botch]

Yeah just finished the Groove Armada EM right now and enjoyed it. Nina Kravitz this weekend.

[lt.roast.a.botch]

Nicolas Jaar EM is beautiful. Perfect for this Sunday morning.

[malcolmjama1awesome]

Nicolas Jaar EM is beautiful. Perfect for this Sunday morning.

fah q

[Poor Yorick]

Nicolas Jaar EM is beautiful. Perfect for this Sunday morning.

That Twin Peaks intro gave me shivers. I didn't even plan on listening to the whole mix in one sitting but I couldn't pull myself away. In the words of Pete Tong, truly "spell-binding".

[InF3cT10uZ]

Dubfire is just too funky
