listened to tons of mixes this year, more than ever, and wanted to add some of my favourites of the year, some of which have prob already been posted, some perhaps not, not taking the credit for the fact some of you pointed these out on this very thread.

maxxi soundsystem - beats in space mix (quite a good rep of the popular sound of house at the moment, amazing herbert mix at the end) - http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/639

dixon and ame boiler room - (sort of weird how spiritually this feels a bit more kompakt, but i guess innervisions have always had the electro/rock thing going on in the background) - https://soundcloud.com/platform/dixon-me-4-hours-boiler-room-x

shed - wax treatment podcast 32 - (i don't often listen to this sort of music but this mix just endured all year for me) http://waxtreatment.de/podcast/030/wax_treatment_podcast_030.mp3

shed - la boum de luxe - this just feels so much more planned and precise than the glut of other mixes, like a mix you'd pay for - https://soundcloud.com/secretsundaze/shed-la-boum-de-luxe-18-aug

tommyboy - frame of mind mix - all year since i got this it's just been one to put on in all sorts of situations - a brilliant selection of disco, electropop, and balearic type stuff - really reckon i'll still be listening to this in 12 months time and beyond - http://tommyboymixes.tumblr.com/post/25014679244/tommyboy-frame-of-mind-mix-tracklist-01

magic mountain high at golden pudel - in the year of move d this set is one standout, also got to go to golden pudel this year and it is fucking awesome, don't go to germany without going there - https://soundcloud.com/move-d/mmh-pudel-openair-2012-06-17

move d at panorama bar - think this is probably the best of the many sets he posted on his soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/move-d/move-d-panoramabar-2012-01-22

tim sweeney - beats in space #631 - feel like bis never gets the praise it deserves around here, and tim pretty much always picks a great chunk of the best music around, plus you hear things there way before anywhere else - the guests are good but tim's own sets are almost always ace and this one is a really good mix of old and new stuff: http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/631

just realising there are at least 7/8 more, i'll add them in over the next few days.

b-but thanks!

super nerdy but it's mostly because my memory is so terrible. hated not being able to remember what books i read or what records i was listening to even a few months ago.

nah I can see how it would be necessary especially for things as ephemeral as mixes

but probably my favourite mix of the year was RA.317 Benoit and Sergio which was the mix for the summer we never had. I think i listened to it every day by the pool in Ibiza though.

double helping of prosumer

Heterocyclic ring ring (LocalGarda), Friday, 7 December 2012 11:03 (eleven years ago) link

thanks guys, loads of great stuff here, giving the White Light Optimo mix a go which is already sounding great (but then I love every mix I've heard from them)

Neil S, Friday, 7 December 2012 11:25 (eleven years ago) link

I'm really enjoying the new double mix CD by Acid Pauli on Crosstown Rebels. First disc is slow, dubby house. Think Nocilas Jaar, Stimming, Raz Ohara, etc. The second disc picks up the pace a little, and moves from Dop to Autechre... really interesting and musical.

Beyond that, I would second those who've sad the Maya Jane Coles DJ Kicks is great. Also like Motor City Drum Ensemble's DJ Kicks. Some little heard gems on that. Have been a little disappointed by most Fabric mixes this year - Ben Klock a case in point.

paulhw, Saturday, 8 December 2012 01:35 (eleven years ago) link

fave commercial mixes of the year are LOL Boys Enter the Unknown and Silkie & Quest Dubstep Allstars 9

rap乒 4-tay (The Reverend), Saturday, 8 December 2012 05:18 (eleven years ago) link

mcde dj kicks is super dope but wasn't it late 2011?

the late great, Saturday, 8 December 2012 06:45 (eleven years ago) link

this thread rules

how have we not had a thread for mixes in years previous?

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 8 December 2012 07:36 (eleven years ago) link

In terms of commercial mixes I'm still coming back to Paul Woolford's Lab 04 mix regularly. I think I need both Zip and Daniel Avery's recent fabric CDs too.

This is great, thanks! Constantly forget to check out new BIS shows...

I saw Prosumer in Cologne last week and when he played that Addictive & DJ Naughty track that's also in the BIS mix (+ a bunch of other UK Funky) it really went off. I checked hardwax and they used to stock that record, I'm guessing that was largely down to him.

One of my favourite mixes not mentioned so far is Late Nite Tuff Guy's 'One Night In A Disco' mix, filled with his endlessly sumptuous and listenable edits - the edit of Change's "A Lover's Holiday" in particular always makes me smile.

Tim F, Monday, 10 December 2012 12:32 (eleven years ago) link

got a link?

really enjoying the ron morelli mix from upthread.

Heterocyclic ring ring (LocalGarda), Monday, 10 December 2012 14:34 (eleven years ago) link

thanks Tim!

jed_, Monday, 10 December 2012 22:02 (eleven years ago) link

actually i withdraw my thanks since i can't find it. i found a track by that name but not a mix.

jed_, Monday, 10 December 2012 22:09 (eleven years ago) link

The mere mention of Late Nite Tuff Guy has me excited these days, I adore what he did with Prince's "Controversy".

boxedjoy, Monday, 10 December 2012 23:16 (eleven years ago) link

jed the mix I mentioned is definitely in the "Downloads" section at the website I just linked to.

You can also hear the edit of "A Lover's Holiday" on his soundcloud.

Tim F, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 00:07 (eleven years ago) link

cheers tim i'll have another look.

jed_, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 00:25 (eleven years ago) link
