am not too fond of listening to mixes on the comp, but after hearing Blu Peter's essential set from 1997, i'm reconsidering...

anyone else want to recommend or add? especially sets with a nice blend of quality trance/tech/prog

mate, the essential mix has been running for 10 years now - thats over 520 EMs, with pver 1000 hours of the most quality music

there are so many, i wouldnt know where to start - today i enjoyed

laurent garnier - essential mix 25.06.94

but i reckon you could make 5 top 50 EMs, and they would be as good as each other

Other than the obvious ones (*cough* Oakenfold '99 *cough*), well, actually, I can't think of any others right now...

The Oakenfold sets aren't very techy, except some tracks maybe.

Nothing fucks me off more than a fan that thinks a DJ can do no wrong. There is a lot of good music out there. How some people can be so easily pleased is beyond my comprehension.

i have the oakenfold one, its good..

i also found this: http://www.essentialmix.ca/index.php which includes a good deal of tracklistings and such

basically get

any nick warren mixes (theres 6)
any oakey ones pre 2000
any pvd ones pretty much (columbiahalle 02)
any sasha ones
any digweed ones (especially twilo may 99!!!!)

The only essential mixes i've heard that i'd listen to again are from Laurent Garnier and Carl Craig. And the Scratch Perverts (best EM i've heard..i've heard many from 1994-2004...zabiela, sasha, mwnn, garnier, digweed, tiesto, carl craig, carl cox, dave clarke, oakenfold, etc..no comparison)...but that's from this year.

Indeed, there are much better EM's out there than Oakies 99 Tour. I don't understand why you always get one person in these EM threads going "Oakey.. nuff said."
