So it's voting time again, last year Sasha graced the winner's podium for best essential mix of 2005.

However, this year he wasnt a contestant and therefore we are left with quite some competition arent we?

ANDY CATO FTW I SAY, his mix was great, it just goes to show that he can go it solo and doesnt need the legendary status of Groove Armada to make a name out of himself (although it sure helps!). His solo productions have been mint, and his DJ'ing is wikkid, I hope those of you who havent heard about this guy to go check him out and those of you who havent heard his EM plzplzplz go listen to it!

Discuss who's you mix you thought was the best, and give good reasoning! I personally have listened to every single essential mix this year, aswell as last year and the year before etc. Im a huge fan of the show so I'm not just pulling my choice out of my arse!


Discuss discuss discuss!

Not my choice but whatever.

If Armins EM was a little earlier in the year he would have won.

It's a joy to listen to.

well it'll be in the running for next years, but if it gets anywhere close to winning i'd be surprised.


Already posted, but out of the options, Friction & Christopher Lawrence were best, with ShyFX's from late 2005 (but incl in the vote) not far behind.

nope, due to the lateness in it for the year, it'll be in the 2007 vote as one of the first

what'll (prolly) happen then, is that in the end of 2007 (for the EM 2007 vote) people will already have forgotten Sharam's EM ... too bad
