| I don't think I've heard a single EM in a year or so. Mary Anne Hobbs is all I need. |

Mary Ann Hobbss is very nice.
Although I haven't listened to any EM's this year I've been listening to it forever now and I always enjoy the sets and still do. Your forgetting that the EM is for all kinds of EDM, not just straight Trance - if you want something like that go to ASOT or one of the many Trance radio shows. |

is that a problem? and no, it's not full of house music.
i think that one month ago they had beyer, sharam, and avb in the row so they still cover pretty much all genres of edm |

| The essential mix has always been regarded as a house show by many of it's fans, esp those from the start. It does show a fair bit of variation but it does't go far enough simply because if we get 'trance' it's always 1 of 5 djs, techno, usually one of the 'bigger' names & so on. It just needs to expose more obscure stuff from each genre & it'd be fine again. Every style deserves it's chance there but it does become a bit boring when many people get invited back again & again & they're crap. Most people think trance is just pvd, armin, above & beyond, jules & tiesto & judge a whole genre on that. Fortunately once in a while a good trance dj is on, eg christopher lawrence or even marcel woods brought something different. |

| I personally like the Essential Mix. You should be grateful of having a show which exposes you to different types of music. Yes there is predominatly more house then other genres but it still shows a wide spectrum of music. |
