this one is great... amazingly there are many, many good ones in the short 12 years that have passed since 2000

Thanks for the Weatherall mix suggestion, this is killer.

Stacey Pullen is great too, thanks for that tip.

Maybe I'm being dumb but I can't find the 1999 Daft Punk one on that site, just a 1997 one?

It's not actually an Essential Mix but an Essential Selection - kind of meaningless distinction given both are on Pete Tong's show but anyway...

well Essential Mix has always been more prestigious - peaktime Saturday night, usually midnight-2am (though now 1-3am). Essential Selection felt a bit more like a warmup in comparison (Friday evenings, pre-midnight). But yes, in archive form it's a distinction without much of a difference.

Essential Selection - warming up for the weekend, playinh you the hot new tunes, gettin you hyped.

Essential Mix - Driving back from the club... giving you the post nightclub vibes.

Annie Nightingale - getting back to someones and gouching out to a varied mix before the work experience DJs comes in for the Radio 1 sunday dawn shift.

having a timer plugged into a socket to that it turned a cassette deck on with record pressed & a C120 tape in it at 02:00 - Classic.

Did it really start at 2?? Maybe that was after my time...

Any more tips pals? The Weatherall is ace, as is the Pullen. All mixes should be two hours long, minimum. Must try and find that Weatherall Heavenly Social mix online when I'm not on iPhone.

Vahid is right about the Carl Craig and Daft Punk EMs, they're my two absolute favourites.

Anybody feeling Nina Kraviz's new one?
