[quote=chemicalbeavis;389564]Why? because YOU don't like them? Everybody is entitled to enjoy what they want to enjoy, Just because you might think some suggestions aren't "cool" doesn't make them laughable. What is infact laughable is the size of your ego, you really need to climb out of your own arse. :!:[/quote]

Oh do calm down ffs, I happen to like all the essential mixes listed on here, and its nothing to do with looking cool or anything like that ( Arguably my favourite track of all time is Relight My Fire by Dan Hartman, not many people would admit to that Im sure ), its about being open to all types of music. If this thread was entitled best progressive house essential mix then fine, but are you honestly telling me that the Delta Heavy or Maida Vale mixes are better than say the Danny Howells or the Dope Smugglaz mixes? if so then Im truly baffled...

Dope Smugglaz? Are you having a laugh? What you don't seem to understand is that yes, some people actually DO like progressive house above all other genres, and they are entitled to do so without being ridiculed by elitists such as yourself. So yes, i would certainly say that Maida Vale is way beyond Howells' mix, as for Dope Smugglaz, well i really wouldn't like to comment.

And yes, i am very aware that Sasha's Maida Vale mix isn't progressive house.

Re: best Emix

OK, people that I have been out to see in the past year or so and ENJOYED listening to -

Sasha John Digweed Richie Hawtin Paolo Mojo Nic Fanciulli Stanton Warriors Plump DJ's Neil Quigley Hernan Cattaneo Terry Francis Dave Seaman Nick Warren

and I was also lucky enough to see Radiohead 2wice.

Now tell me, how is that being elitist?

Re: best Emix

So why make a comment that peoples suggestions in this thread are laughable? i don't particularly like all the DJ's you mentioned there, i mean Richie Hawtin bores me to tears but he is an excellent artist and has my utmost respect and if you enjoy him then fair play, i won't ridicule it, each to their own....

Re: best Emix

I didn't like that Ibiza Oakenfold set, not sure why. The best one he's done is his first world tour, from Home in Sydney. It's brilliant the way he plays Narcotik-Blue at the start and you can hear the crowd saying stuff like 'Go on Oakey' just a classic e-mix moment.

Thats a fair comment, but I guess I judge mixes in a different way ie. I look for originality, range of styles etc. 2 hours is a long time I think to throw something original up and actually break from the norm once in a while - I like to be suprised when listening to mixes.

Did none of these catch your fancy?

[QUOTE=rubyraks;387850]Aside from many of those already posted (just about any Sasha &/or Digweed set, Moshic and sander 2001)

Future Sound of London 1993 Paul Oakenfold live at Space, Ibiza Jul-1999 (before he bought into the cheese and put thought into his sets) Richard Dorfmeister 2001 Danny Howells 2002 (where's the love for this leftfield mix?) Tom Middleton 2005 Ben Watt 2005

and from the last year or so, we'll just have to see if they stand the test of time: Francois K, M.A.N.D.Y., Ame, Booka Shade, Damien Lazarus...[/QUOTE]

Re: best Emix

definitely - the Danny Howells and the Middleton ones are awesome ( although I prefered Middletons one from 2001 I think? ). FSOL and Dorfmeister I haven't heard but will track down. I didn't actually realise Ben Watt had one? The Oakenfold one I have probably heard ( all his ones from round that time are really good - that was when trance was really killing it ). If you haven't done so you should check out the Dope Smugglaz and the 1993 Heller and Farley mixes - both amazing for different reasons...

:D

Re: best Emix

The star wars mix middelton did. Was that last year?

Re: best Emix

future sound of london for me... forgot which one

Re: best Emix

I thought the middleton star wars one was from last year, but maybe it was the 2001 mix...so many to remember ;)

I'll definitely check out the dope smugglaz one and as for heller, I didn't realized he had one (or even that he's been around that long). He always impresses me...love the few live sets of his I have.

[SIZE=3]Middleton has done 2 - one of them is from 2001 ( I think ), really good shit. Theres been a few Terry Farley and Pete Heller ones but the one from 93 is my favourite one. The Dope Smugglaz one is awesome - LOADS of originality, off the wall samples ( without being stupid ), and just brilliant jacking house music...... [/SIZE]

Re: best Emix

Been listening to Ben Watt's EM - can't really get into it... hmm
