Anyone tune into Harvey on BiS last night?

not feeling it. it's like he just picked some random turkish records in his visit there.

a lot of the selections are, uh, timeworn but but really really really like fabriclive 71

*but i not but but

With you on that Durrr...he didn't really seem up for being there, sensed a bit of animosity between him and Tim for some reason.

The voicemall q+a thing didn't really help, what was the poor old wizened sod meant to say to most of them?

Mmmmgh... Beautiful Swimmers mix is good.

Weird thing about this BS mix is that I saw them perform earlier in the year and it was not like this. Strength to strength maybe, I want to check them out again. This is dope.

This might be my favourite mix of this year:

aw man I'll have to listen to that. I tried to go to that party but the line was crazy long and we just went to the bar across the street instead.

Been feeling Roy Koch's new one a lot...

god that mermaids mix is great

It really is. I can't stop listening to it.

...and thanks for that tracklist. I was wondering about that.

that mr saturday mix, I imagine it worked well in the place, but nothing special at all as a mix. (yeah i know i'm taking things too seriously)

sounded good last night. not sure about 'best mix' but this kind of thing is right up my alley rn, faster bpm, off-the-cuff, great selection, mixing is rock-solid, etc. i need an optimo late pass tbh.

15 minutes into that mermaids mix and i'm smitten

What's everyones FAVOURITE of the year then? Beautiful Swimmers for Test Pressing? The Young Marco Juno one? Moonboots?

That Force of Nature' Expansions mix has been my personal fave from this year, that Rimini '80 track is an inspired disco reinvention of a class Joel Fayerman track, it is incredible.

Tale Of Us Renaissance - second disc in particular - stood out but I haven't listened to enough mixes this year so I'm looking forward to see people respond with 2013s standouts (which is obv the point of the thread but it moves very fast and some take more traction and discussion than others)

mine is probably aurora halal @ the room https://soundcloud.com/farbfernseher/welcome-to-the-room-no-26

anyone tuning in to rinse.fm? palms trax's been breaking out some hot tunes

there have been so many...hard to pick. I think I've listened to Will Bankhead's guest mix for the Hessle Rinse show at least 30 times this year http://www.mixesdb.com/w/2013-02-07_-_Will_Bankhead_-_Hessle_Audio so I'd go for that as my favourite.

good shit, ty

oh yeah in terms of commercial mixes there's the dj sprinkles one head & shoulders above...enjoyed the petre inspirescu fabric one a lot at the time but didn't return much

Cassy's Fabric one is wicked as well

― lex pretend,

Pedro's was a bit disappointing (preferred his other LP on arpiar this year, last track on that is magical). I think the romanians are in a different phase now as DJs, Rhadoo's fabric mix is pretty disappointing too. When theyre in this mode it can be very flat. Cezar was very flat earlier this year also

As for fav mixes of the year i've enjoyed the flow and variety and different elements in this one - its a little on the long side so i cut it into 3 parts for mp3 player

i think my favorite mixes of the year were the young marco on juno, workshop dudes on boiler room, beautiful swimmers on test pressing, dj sprinkles' when dancefloors..., and groovypanda's endless summer on ilx--woop WOOP! might be forgetting a couple, i switched PCs recently and have since realized my memory has totally atrophied through reliance on organizing shiz by date modified in my music folders.

Some favourites:

- The Young Marco mix of course (his LN-CC Store Mix is pretty ace too)
- Kowton's Sonotown Mix
- Marcus Nasty FACT Sundown mix
- Nd Baumecker: Saturday Night Live
- DJ EZ's Fabriclive
- Surgeon's ambient set at Freerotation
- Chris SSG's TKYCPN mix
- Ron Morelli on Red Light Radio

It's only 4th December so the end of the year might throw up a couple more if we're lucky.

The Young Marco mix of course (his LN-CC Store Mix is pretty ace too)

true, the suzanne kraft ln-cc is v good, too

oh! and the dj sotofett//ron morelli trushmix

especially the sotofett half

otm. i forgot that one, it's brilliant.

also this max d beats in space is better than the beautiful swimmers mixes imo:

Filter Dread - Space Loops, I'm reading quite of a bit of hype about this, but 90 copies of a limited run of tapes?

It sounds cool from the YouTube clip, but that's all I have to go on. Anyone got/heard this?

Have been meaning to say - this is superb, have listened to it a ton over the last month or so (having originally downloaded it when you first posted it, but not listened to it then). Do you know anything else with a similar feel? I tried a couple of other mixes by the same guys but they were quite different (more uptempo, I guess).
