Sometimes I wonder, what is my favorite DJ mix/set of all times. A difficult question, as tastes are constantly changing. At the moment, I got two favorites:

#1a James Holden - Live @ Flex Vienna 2005
#1b DJ Hell - Misch Masch 2006

I really would like to know what your favorites are. Maybe I get ideas for mixes I dindn't catch yet.

So, if you like, let's have 'em.

hrm. hrm. tough one. So far the only london gigs that have come close would be Sasha @ The Key, and yes, Elite Force at Herbal for Spinout.

otherwise theres a few perth gigs that by all standards, were fucking amazing.

BLIM @ Science Fiction, Belmont.
DJ Shadow @ Science Fiction, Claremont.
Teebee & BSE @ Heat
Plumps @ Ambar, Eargasm tour.


I'm not really hungry, I just need to have reservations somewhere.

first that come to mind:

Eric Prydz : Essential Mix 2007
Sasha and Digweed : Delta Heavy Essential Mix @ WMC 2002
Basement Jaxx : Essential Mix of the Year 1999 (I think that was the year)

there are more, but those standout...

i-F - "Mixed up in the Hague"
DJ Spinbad - "Rock the Casbah"
Dave Clarke pres. Electro Boogie part 2
Ivan Smagghe - "How to kill the DJ" (though haven't heard it recently - probably dated horribly, but revelatory at the time)

And I've got a shitload of love for Dan Selzer and Dave Simonetti's "Crazy Rhythms" too. But that's kinda kitschy.

Plus the set played by some unknown 18 year old kid that I once heard in the basement of Wang on Hackney road in like 2003 that completely blew me away but I never found out his name.

Great one. Downloaded it and are now listening to the mix. I live near the venue (Nijmegen), so that makes it even more special.
Thanx!

Hmmm difficult as there is so many good mixes:

But of Classic mixes top 5 in no particular order:
Carl Cox - Fact
Billy Nasty - Essential Mix 94
The Chemical Brothers - Essential Mix 95
David Holmes - Essential Mix 98
Sasha & Diggers - Renaissance

5 more Recent Mixes:
Trentemoller - Live @ Studio 88 (don't know date)
Sven Vath - Cocoon Sounds of the Sixth & Seventh Season
2 Many DJ's - As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt.2
Mauro Picotto - Meganite Vol 3
Pig & Dan - RA02

Oh and if any one is into it the Essential Mix Live from Miami is pretty cool at the momment with Nic Fanciulli & James Zabiela(one + one mix) and Richie Hawtin :)

My current favorite is Desyn Masiello and Omid16B from the WMC 2006, Space.

Best set I ever attended is hard to remember, probably the golden days of S&D at the old Twilo around 2000-2001 time. Those were sick, sick parties.

if you can find online mixes by a pretty unkonw dj called Dave Ingham then i implore you to check it out. Dave is from Leeds, played lots there in early 90s, was guest in Northern ireland quite a bit and now lives in Dublin, Ireland, but his mix tapes are stuff of legend. wo spring to mind: 1. electronic intercourse and his mix for indigenous music that wa sput out on CD. from AFX and Mo Wax to Norn Soul and Jurassic 5, this techno dj is in my opinion one of the best, like the greatest footballer you never seen play he is possibly the best dj you never heard. I think you can get a mix from www.electronicireland.com

One that absolutely blew me away was Hawtin at Sonar '05 out on the terrace. Such a beautiful venue, with beautiful people and when he dropped Marionnette when the sun was coming up I shed a tear for the session!

Hello peeps, my favourite mix ever is probably the Daft Punk Essential Mix from '97 - played til the tape (tape!) snapped. Was so happy to find this online a year or two ago, so much fun in this mix. Favourite live sets were Fatboy Slim on his birthday at The Boutique in Brighton either 98 or 99, Tiga at Sonar last year, Derrick Carter at Basics the first time i saw him 95 or 96. Daft Punk at Basics in The Pleasure Rooms. Ralph Lawson lots of times - the time that sticks in my mind for some odd reason is the first night at Mint when Carter played and was good, then Ralphie came on and was, somehow, ten times better. Go on Ralphie!

Don't know about the best ever, but the most enjoyable in ages was the Get Physical night last June at Fabric with Booka Shade live followed by M.A.N.D.Y. It was my birthday, and my mate persuaded the lighting guy to let me do the laser in Room 1.

First I though it to be quite difficult to name even one, but then I found this jewel on my hard drive: Jori Hulkkonen - Essential Mix 03.02.2002.

I've been listening to that mix for more than enough and it still gives me goosebumps - all the tracks in it are just perfect. Afro

hmm.. difficult one

Last year I was impressed with these 3 sets

Luciano & Qenum@Electrosplash (free 5 day beach festival)
Steve Bug@ Secretsundaze opening party
Claude Von Stroke@Panoramabar

As for my favourite Dj mixes.. Lazydog vol 1 by Ben Watt has been truly inspirational

As for my favourite Dj mixes.. Lazydog vol 1 by Ben Watt (buzzin' fly) has been truly inspirational over the years and also Jeff Samuel on the Pokerflat compilation 4... Another favourite mix is actually one i made with Philip Glass' classic minimal compositions on the background and some emo house.

1) Sasha's Essential Mix 2005 - Has been on my ipod constantly for almost 2 years, track selection and pace is amazing.
2) Switch Live @ Mokka Cuka - proper dirty house
3)Sasha - Involver - Best album ever made
4)Gatecrasher Red/Disco-Tech - Can't decide which is better
5) Desyn Masiello - Balance 009 - A showcase for the man's talent
