Favorite non Prog/Trance mixes

I am looking for people to recommend their favorite mixes outside of the trance/prog genre. I dont need anymore of those. Some of my favorites:

CJ Bolland 94 essential mix, Leftfield 94 EM, FSOL 93 EM, LTJ Bukem 96 EM, grandfather paradox, Rodhad RA 2013 amsterdam, Ben Klock boiler room, weatherall EM 96.

I am definitely on the lookout for anything daring, innovative, and good and I am open to just about any genre outside of Trance/Prog.

Thanks guys.

I don't have a lot of mixes on my hard drive, the ones's I keep are all classics for me. Here's a few.

Delta Funktionen - Doornroosje 2010: Delta Funktionen before he went all chicago-acid-y. 3 hours of sloooow, deeeep buildup. One of best warmup sets/mixes I've ever heard.

Peter Van Hoesen - mnml ssgs fnl 1/2: Amazing long, deep, melodic mix.

DVS1 - Eleven Tokyo 2013: Five hours of live recorded DVS1 in top form!

DJ Disko - E-Werk 1997: Absolutely ridiculous how well this mix holds up 20 years later, every track is a bomb that shits all over most modern techno. The selection and DJing are way ahead of it's time. Also features E-Werk crowd noise!

Donato Dozzy - Labyrinth 2008 pt. 1/2: Another long deep-techno masterclass.

Polo - Kann mix 8 - I'm posting this just because it's one of the few live recorded set's online that I actually attended This was recorded at the Giegling christmas party 2015 at Berghain. Not all of the set got recorded but a good chunk of it. This virtually guy just came on and totally killed it with hours of great detroit-y sounding techno. Towards the end he drops a ten-minute Minilogue track, you can count the amount of DJs that have the balls to do that in a packed club on one or two hands. The DJ after him didn't show up which means he played for another one or two hours and went into total dancefloor destruction, which sadly didn't get recorded.

Scuba vs SCB - RA198: This was really influential for me at the time, 50% dubstep, 50% techno. Many classics from an incredibly creative period. Perfect mixing and sequencing..

Mala b2b Loefah - Fwd 2006: I don't know if you are into dubstep but this got posted on Blackdown's blog with commentary a few years ago. Amazing document from dubstep's peak era.

Thanks woony. The dubstep rec is perfect because no way I would even know how to go about finding a good dubstep mix from an era i missed almost entirely. Gonna go and try and get a hold of these.

Hope someone else has some recs.

Roland Casper @ Warehouse 93'
Andy Weatherall 93' EM
CJ Bolland - Technodrome 10.1995 (his 94' EM is also one of my favs.)
Billy Nasty 94' and 96' EMs
Blu Peter 97' EM
Adam X - Live @ Descension - 1994-03-19 Milwaukee, @ Nasa May 93'
Luke Slater - DJ Set - Maybank Festival 1993
Biochip C. - Decadence DBN NYE 96 Side B (live PA)
Seal Ph�ric @ Ravolution 38, Acid Love (if you like this one, I'd check more Seal Phuric sets from 93' and 94' and other similar sets from the Belgium acid scene (D-Jack, Pat Vision, Acid Kirk, etc.) from the early-mid 90's (hard acid, techno)

All of the above can be found on Youtube or Soundcloud, and you can check Soulseek for more, if interested.

Some modern ones:

Thanks for those recs! I will definitely check them out!

Hopefully there are some people who like house sets bc so far we have gotten a lot of techno recs. I am also guilty of this since i naturally seem to prefer techno to house anyway. For some reason, there seems to be a lot of crossover in people like trance and techno but not as much in people liking trance and house, the real stuff not the proggy variety.

I still quite like this Scuba 2012 FACT Mix

A few from my harddrive.

John Osborn - Panoramabar 2011
Manamana - Oe 2009
Manamana - Nachtdigital 2012

Prosumer - RA 70
SCB b2b John Osborn - ssg special

Thanks guys! much appreciated.

AlphaStarred, that casper mix had me chair raving. Nice.

Lews, i really like that scuba mix you offered.

Woony, im still going through some of your suggestions but that driftwood mix "kisses fingers". Amazing. Those tracks are some of the best real house i have heard. I wasnt even familiar with the label. Holy shit. How the fuck had I never heard of this label? I went through their catalog and its downright filthy how good it is.

Driftwood has been legendary in deep house circles for a long time. It's quality is only rivalled by the prices of these records, they've been ludicrously expensive for like 15 years. I hope they get reissued in vinyl and digital one day so everyone can enjoy them, people have been screaming about it for years.

If you like Driftwood, also check Plastic City from around 1997-2005 and The Timewriter and Terr Lee Brown Jr. (the guys who did Driftwood)

Thanks for the heads up on the Driftwood Mix, Woony. So beautiful.

Saw Cloutier a few times this summer - once for a house set and another time for techno - and became an even bigger fan.

I'm grateful he releases his sets for download

btw on the topic of Driftwood, the b2 on here has a total oldschool tech house / Timewriter-feel.

These may require a different mindset to a typical DJ set, but I absolutely love the 'Blue Jam' radio series by Chris Morris. Each episode is an hour-long mix of trip hop, ambient, electronica and indie music interspersed with dark comedy sketches that range from hilarious to disturbing.

I would highly recommend anyone who loves Ravey music to listen to this. This mix is a revelation. Additionally, the mixing is really good and far ahead of its time. Who the hell is DJ Disko? I have no idea if this one mix was just way better than anything else he ever did or this poor guy just somehow never got famous but this might be the single greatest live techno set I have ever heard. I would pay a lot of money for someone to play like this live.

Also, holy fuck does the crowd noises make it sound like e werk was an amazing club.

Also, thanks for the additional mix recommendations guys. I will def check them out.

DJ Disko was a Berlin local DJ that was there from the beginning basically, he was a resident at E-Werk and Planet (the E-Werk precursor). He never really produced anything except a few co-production credits and mostly dropped out of the Scene around the turn of the millenium. He has a few lines in Klang der Familie and he comes across like a big Idealist that couldn't handle all the techno-commercialization of the mid/late 90s. He actually says that he hated E-Werk even at the time and thought it was total shit compared to Planet (which was very small and intimate, People hugging each other on E etc., compared to the giant coked-up rave temple that E-Werk became).

Disko played Berghain one or two years ago (that's how I came across the mix, someone posted it) and apparently he was alright, but it's hard to just come back out of retirement and start killing it

Makes sense bc this guy is clearly playing for guys on E and not coke. This mix is straight up PLUR techno without being cheesy at all. Fucking amazing. I was basically couch raving all night last night as I heard this mix twice in a row. Someone needs to get a hold of this guy and see if he recorded any of his old sets.

Eric Cloutier - Driftwood Mix

is absolutely fn sublime imo. does anyone know of mixes like this. My fiance has a hard time liking most Electronic music that is danceable bc the bpms are too high or when they are in low 120s range she finds some of it creepy, mainly the ketamine crap. This mix is her favorite mix ive ever played and so looking for things like this.

You've named a few of mine in your OP. I'd also nominate DjRUM's soundtrack mixes, particularly the Clash podcast from 2012. And a few Andrew Weatherall / ALFOS sets I will link when I'm on my laptop. His 2013 set at Back To Basics is the stuff of legend. And can I count Lee Burridge's Essential Mix from 2015 as "non-prog"? Don't really consider Burridge's dreamy sound to be "prog" in the true sense.

was hoping you would chime in here because we have very similar tastes on electronic music in general. Did you hear that DJ Disko mix woony linked earlier? I am still blown away by how good that is for a guy who nobody even knows. Only wish the germans werent talking over that bad boy.

I've had no Internet at home for two months, which is why I haven't chimed in before now. I'll have a listen at some point. I've got a few good recent mixes I'll try to dig out.

anyone? this is perhaps the finest baby making mix btw. I really want other mixes like this but have no idea where to find them. Its deep house but so sensual and atmospheric. Amazing stuff.

I'm halfway through it now. It's nice, but unless it improves spectacularly in the second half it just sounds like the stuff Terry Lee Brown Jr has been pumping out for donkey's years. Have you checked out his "Terry's Caf�" mix CD series? I haven't listened to all of them, but they're all about this kind of stuff. His artist albums are very good as well.
