All essential mixes since 1993

http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix/

Don't know if this is really the right place for this, but it's the only part of WATMM I ever read :D

Every radio 1 essential mix since 1993. Some really classic shit there. It's coming down at the end of the month, so grab what you want now. If you DL it all it's like 280gig or so lol.

wow that must've taken a while to upload

this should propbably be in music discussion or maybe watmmixes

what are the top 5 for people that follow these sessions?

edit: justice's is very good, i listen to it often

When you download from soundcloud, do you get it in a higher bitrate (whatever it was uploaded as) rather than the nasty 128kb or whatevr it streams as?

yeah i think so...should get whatever the original file was encoded as

ya a few are even flacs for you dorks.

I was in highschool in teh late 90s so I actually got into electronic music from some of Paul Oakenfold's older mixes. For 90's trance it's quintessential. It's a type of music I wouldn't get so into now, but back then it was THE shit. I'd recommend the mix from "home" on 10.31.99.

and I bet the FSOL from 93 is good. Shit is crazy old now!!!!! Anything from the earlier bits will be pretty interesting. Andrew Weatherall mix has some gnarly sounding acid bits. DO EETT. Go for the old shit. The new shit's still up on the radio 1 site.

I taped the FSOL broadcasts when they went out. I preferred them to the lifeforms album. Think there's a bit of schottkey 7th path or something in there.

in 93??

yeah

you lie, but I believe you

ok great

yeah 99% of those sound horrid

apart from maybe jeff mills, dave clarke, billy nasty and a few others

thx, i haven't heard the daft punk mix from 97 in a while. i'm totally homo for it.

Somebody needs to do this for the breezeblock mixes. At least the ones before it went a bit shit.

YES. I'll be on the lookout. Breezeblock was a lot more open ended. Essential mix is pretty straight dancy (or gay dancy, depending).

The Ed Rush and Optical mix is pretty nice.
