BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I'll be reporting back briefly on the Drumsound & Bassline Smith EM

[malcolmjamalawesome]

A lot of it goes: "Bwap! Bwap! Bwapbwapbwapbwapbwap!"

Yeah, I figured that much would come from a name like Drumsound and Bassline. Not even going to bother with this one. The miike snow EM from last week was a treat though.

[grannock]

The essential mix has sucked for a while since the new time slot. They better book some real talent this winter.

[Electrotek]

Photek's Essential Mix is awesome http://soundcloud.com/everybodywants...al-mix-2012-10

If it was all drum and bass like they used to do years and years ago, I'd be up for it. Now? Fuck that.

[grannock]

Photek seems likely for a next summer festy tour.

[chiapet]

Well, he played Movement this year. I am pretty fuzzy regarding that day, but I don't remember his set being that good? Interested to check out the EM though.

This Dusky EM is kinda neato... I'm digging it

Just heard it for the first time and really liked it. I'm starting to really get into Dusky.

Cant wait to dedicate some time to listening to this.

I know this isn't a BBC mix, but I don't know where else to put this great Boiler Room set:

[Mr. Porter]

^^^ In the Disclosure thread

I listened to some EM's from this past year. Jacques Lu Cont was fun, so was Feed Me. I reserve that L-Vis 1990's is still the best

[grannock]

Deetron? Fuck yes.

[nyarlathotoats]

Has anyone heard the gaslamp killer EM?

[Mr. Porter]

Has anyone heard the gaslamp killer EM?

Interesting tracklist with mix of Brainfeeder stuff, Dilla, and classic rock in between. The usual Gaslamp mix, enjoyable.

I just listened to the Dusky EM and I might have to reconsider my choice for EM of 2012 so far

[brando4n82]

Gaslamp has my vote for EM this year

[suprefan]

^^^ In the Disclosure thread

Suprised they havent done one yet. But im sure itll be done next year.

The Dusky EM has been my personal favorite.

It got me super geeked on them.

[Electrotek]

Calyx & Teebee was fucking dope!

[unknown]

Yeah, Calyx + Teebee is really hitting the spot for me right now. Solid mixing, track selection is very good (Lulu Rouge and Submotion Orchestra got me really excited to take a listen, not to mention all the Trentemoller, BoC, Aphex, FSOL, and of course all the dnb production). One of the best essential mixes I've listened to in a while.

[grannock]

So are they trying to play the same em two weeks in a row? Eats everything just won em of the year... Played that like a headliner set.

[fiopadp7791]

Not that I claim to have any good taste in anything, but they replayed the Nicholas Jaar EM tonight. Its a little too out there for me. Was trying to give it a 2nd chance tonight, and got about as far with it as the 1st time they aired it- about 30 minutes. Is it supposed to grow on you or something?

[brando4n82]

I was not impressed with jars set either

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Thirded.

See, brando4n82? We've had our rough patches in the past, but ultimately we see eye to eye and can come together in our shared disappointment in the Nicolas Jaar EM.

[Thisismyname]

Have you guys listened to the no BBC edit? It helps.

[Staryce]

I thought the same when I first heard Nico's EM but, I got into it later in the mix (probably 40 min or so) and then it all really clicked and I think it's absolutely amazing. I say give it another listen but, it could just be that we have different musical tastes.

[guedita]

Brandon and malcolm's taste being, of course, deplorable.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I'd have preferred the Nicolas Yarrrr set
