the gabriel and dresden EM last year was fookin' gold!!

Almost all of Oakies EMs are mint but im really digging his EMs
from 96 % 97 myself, a good mix of goa, trance, prog and chill.

Eddie Halliwell's is also really cool, use that one when you are
out jogging and you wont be able to walk for a week due to the
pace you are trying to keep up with.

James Zabelia's is quite okay, nothing special tho.

Sander Kleinenberg's two sets from 2001 are kickass, dont really
like his 2003 set tho. Hopefully it will grow on me but its just
to "flat".

Lets not forget Timo Maas EMs, now there is a guy who knows how
to give the audience a good time, asskicking on a higher level.

Adam Freeland's Essential Mix from last year=top notch

Posted by tu_face on Jan-08-2004 12:22:

the two that stood out for me last year were eddie halliwell and ashley casselle.. both fantastic sets!

the scott hardkiss mix was underated imo. The freestylers mix is worth checking out if you fancy something a little different

James holdens e-mix from a couple of years back is my fav ever. Im not big on prog, so my other favs were Tiesto and Armins, and PvDs most recent one is pretty kicking although I havent listened to it all ... yet!

Adam Freeland - Essential Mix (11-05-2003)
Sander Kleinenberg - Essential Mix (06-09-2001)
DJ Shadow - Essential Mix (30-03-2003)

3 Of the best essential mixes of all time. First one is Breaks, second is mostly prog, third is a whole gaggle of shit. Hip-hop (Really good stuff thats nowhere near what's on MTV... almost a whole different genre), breaks, funk, 50's music, oldies, etc. It's crazy.

I suppose you could throw in Oakenfold's '99 Essential mix. It's pretty damn good if you're in the mood for more mainstream stuff.

Oakey's essential mixes from his EM World Tour were all top notch (especially the ones from Space, Ibiza and Miami, and Cuba).

Last Year EMs that i liked

Ralph Lawson EM 2003-11-23
Carl Cox EM 2003-08-17
Armin Van Buuren EM 02-09-03
Valentino Kanzyani EM 2003-12-07
Sasha and Pete Tong EM 2003-08-24
Steve Lawler EM 2003-10-05

I liked the DJ Gregory too, but that is his Africanism CD that was played as an essential for some reason.

The Adam Freeland is also good but they mentioned it already so.
