I just read an interesting article on how Mix CD's (and mixes in general) are still a really big part of EDM, even with the current state of the music business, over on the guardian.com and I did a quick search with no luck as to some of the forums favourite mixes...
So what are they folks?
Gotta love mixes! Biggest part of my iTunes is probably mixes actually...
1. Trentemoller's Essential Mix (not really a CD though huh? And all of his mixes are insaaaaaane!)
2. Marco Carola's Fabric 31
3. M.A.N.D.Y.'s Renaissance Mix
1- London Elektricity Essential Mix
2- Noisia Fabric Live
3- Evol Intent Assemble The Monster - CD2 of Human Resource
Fatboy Slim - On The Floor At The Boutique
The Chemical Brothers - Live At The Social Vol. 1
Tiga - Raveline Mix Session
These are the three that never get boring for me.
Hmmm
Coldcut / Journey's By DJ
The Nextmen / Personal Golf Instructions from Driver Through Putter
DJ Moneyshot / Mixed Ape
probably ... though I'm sure I'll post on this thread again when I have longer to think about it
