Best Mix of all time ???

Electronica (though they all have a hip-hop flava too):


Autechre - Radio mix (promo mix they did mostly featuring remixes of theirs for the release of Chiastic Slide)


Buddy Peace & Zilla - Watch and Repeat Play (Bonus mix that came with the Warp Vision DVD mashing up literally loads of Warp classics)


Flying Lotus - Essential Mix


Hip Hop:


Quite like Coldcut's Essential Mix as it's like an extended Journey By DJs, but a lot of people feel let down by it just so you're aware


Scratch Pervert's Essential Mix, Badmeaningood Vol.4 and Fabric Live 22 all great in a similar vibe


Spitkingdom Presents Beni B (Mixologists) - (Killa Kela's Spitkingdom mixtape, great cut-up of popular tunes. Can't find any links, have CD if peeps wanna borrow)


DJ Skully - Champion Sounds (DMC mix series with a UK Hip Hop flava, the Plus One and Mixologists ones are worth checking too)


DJ Spinbad - Fabric Live 14 is criminally underated for old skool vibes too


Along with The Scratch Perverts - Fabric Live 22, DJ Yoda - Fabric Live 39, Annie Mac Presents 2010, and the Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.1 all deserve props for being harmless good fun that save many a situation involving a broad mix of people who would otherwise all be taking over iPod dock DJ duties. (Plus obligitory nod to 2 Many DJs - As Heard On Radio Soulwax Vol.2 on that note)


Breaks:


Chemical Brothers - Live at the Social Vol.1


Drum & Bass:


Have a soft spot for Andy C's original Nightlife series, particularly 1 & 2 were great at the time, but like a lot of mixes have aged quite a bit


... Hmmm, I got a bit carried away there, apologies...


In all fairness though I could've carried this list on for ages with the number of mixes that have come, been on constant rotation, and gone, but I'd say the ones above particularly impressed me at the time and I still go back to occasionally. The Nicolas Jaar ones will be there in time, but I don't need to plug them on here!

Jim Burgess - Last Night At The Saint


Greg & Shane - Sweat best of 97


Roy Thode - Live At The Paradise Garage


Andy Smith - The Document 1


Technically/Musically probably not the best, but Garniers set from EP 05 is always worth a listen.

Probably one of my all time favourites


From the Fabric stable it would have to be


JLC


Optimo


Cut Copy


AIM


Michael Mayer


Ame


Luciano


The Glimmers


James Murphy & Pat Mahoney


and Craig Richards recent one.


Jon Carter's mix for the Essential Selection 4 is another of my all time favourites. Can't find a link for it anywhere.

Oh agree with Mike, MAW Sessions 5 is definitely up there as well.

Jim Burgess - last night at the saint,


Mark Seven - Salute to the men of vauxhall 1 & 2, (especially 2) and his Slow Blow mix too


Deep Dish - Penetrate Deeper.


Never get tired of any of those mixes and i listen to each of them about once a fortnight, always go back to them

Only 192kbps download..but unreal intensity and skills from a master. On top form for fuse club`s 8th bday back in 2002.

Jesus, how did I forget about penetrate deeper. That mark seven mix is great as well

That Mark Seven Tribute mix is absolute quality!
