Essential Mix of the Year, 2005

Who put on the best one this year?

Sure, 2005 doesn't hold a candle to all the quality mixes 2004 produced, but it's still the best mix show on the planet. The choices on the short list are

Essential Mix Vote Page

King Unique
Soulwax
Krafty Kuts
Tom Middleton's Star Wars Special
Sasha at Maida Vale
Deep Dish
Radio1's Decade in Ibiza at Space
Pendulum
Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso
Matt Hardwick

Personally, my favorite one was left off [Circo Loco at DC-10 in Ibiza with loco dice and Tania Vulcano], but in light of that, I'm now gonna have to back to my collection and listen again to Pendulum, King Unique and Sasha's mixes before I lay a vote down.

Your votes?

definately Sasha at Maida Vale

loved this one and had it repeating for months

Sasha will probably win, even though it was boring as batshit.

Digweed's Global Gathering set was insane, still loving G&D's WMC mix, but I'm hanging out to get Pendulum's set off a mate cos I'm sure that will pants most of the others.

Eddie Halliwell 13-02-05. Just awesome.

That shortlist is sh1t. None of them deserve to win.

Haven't heard any of those...

would have liked to see desyn and/or G&D at WMC on that list.

yeah, this list is a bit lacking, however maybe they (and Digweed) weren't counted as they weren't 'real' EMs, just one hour OBs.

It was unique in a sense that in the first 10 minutes he sampled key parts of episode 4 and basically did a plot summery over the music, but all in all, the actual mix itself wasn't the greatest. It's more of a 'novelty mix' for the release of episode 3 IMO.

As for the Desyn at Nikki Beach mix, they'll never give out essential mix of the year to a show where the DJ plays less than the 2 alotted hours. Besides, that mix pales in comparision to the one he did the previous year that should have won [IMO]

Listened to Pendulum's again last night. Quality drum and bass, it might actually be my first choice, but I don't think it'll win by virtue that it is drum and bass.

Didnt listen to many. But Pendulum's eet was awesome, except in some parts. but it got me back to listening to drum and bass
