I was just listening to Sasha's first ever essential mix (01-15-1994) and I am amazed at how fresh it sounds, he was shaping up progessive trance/house back in the day as well. Got me to thinking what the best essential mixes of all time are.....

This is a decent thread on essential mixes which is not too old:

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.

G & D.......Loved their prog track selections.

For the record, my post in the other thread:

Originally posted by Steve Stephano My favourite mixes from the Oakie World Tour: Havana, Cuba Rojam, Shanghai Liverpool University Though I would find it tough to leave out Creamfields, and the only reason I leave out Lotherton Hall because Pete Tong was so good that night too. Among those some of my other all time favourite EM's are: Paul Oakenfold Goa Essential Mix Paul Van Dyk EM 1997-04-20 Paul Oakenfold @ Creamfields '98 Pete Tong Cream 6th Birthday '98 Sasha @ Alexandria Palace NYE '98 Pete Tong @ Lotherton Hall '99 You can probably guess, but I started getting into trance music in 97, I discovered essential mix in '98. After 99 I sort of lost time to listen to it for a while and took me a while to get back into trance, so I haven't really listened to any well enough to find any since that I can regard among my favourites. I would like to add though that Portishead did a great one in '95 if anyone likes that kinda thing.
