List YOUR Top 10 BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes

ok not sure where else to post this. skream is under fire for this set that he performed totally smashed.

but what i really want to know is what genre is this? ive heard this sound before and i love it, time to put label on it so i can discover more. tech house? deep house? acid house? (yes i am talking out of my ass) and suggestions for further listening?

ooooof where to start...

10. Kaskade

9. Sharam (No words)

8. Axwell & Norman Doray

7. Nicole Moudaber ((())) QUEEN.

6. Dubfire (GOD)

5. Avicii (God this was amazing)

4. The Twelves (Wish they'd make a comeback)

3. Jamie XX (sex)

2. Maya Jane Coles (her first one, haven't listened to her second yet)

1. Mat Zo (Wish he played his dj sets like this)

Honestly, these are off the top of my head though. Honourable mentions go to Swedish House Mafia for their 2010 Creamfields set, ALL of ERIC PRYDZ' MIXES (HOLY FUCK) and Jamie Jones.

 
lol skream is such a badass.

as for this years mixes i really liked zeds dead and maya....her's was really similar to her coachella set.
 
This. Hes actually kinda stopped playing dubstep for the most part, other than magnetic man stuff, or special events like the dubwar birthdays, dmz birthdays, etc.
 
all the diplo & friends mix's

but of those, specifically, in no order

bro safari

floss

RL Grime (still the best one)

Dillon Francis

Clockwork

Bauuer

ETC!ETC!

No, he was talking about the sound the gun he used to shoot himself made when he heard how awful the mix was. He's right.
 
Nina Kraviz is a godess, I could spend my life with her

I cant remember if Ive posted them, but I listen to both Maya Jane Coles, and Eats Everythings a lot.
 
Not essential mixes but check out Kaskades set from Ultra and Gareth Emery's from EDC. I saw Kaskade at Paradiso in Washington and he was incredible.
 
damnit. came here to post disclosure's new mix because its so damn good but big spence beat me to it. DAMN YOU BIG SPENCE!!

but seriously listen to disclosures new set, its dope.
 
Bumping this for the pure fact that everyone needs to give Above and Beyonds 2011 Essential mix a listen. Saw them in Montreal a few weeks and they killed it.
 
my favorite essential of all time. i just saw them in San Diego on the 4th of this month and cried big ol' tears the whole time. their original mix from 06 is great too if you're in to the Oceanlab stuff.
 
^man couldnt get thru that one past 40 mins just friggin bored me.

this one! old school. bumping this thread for the 20th anniversary of the essential mix.

Bits and pieces of skrillex's essential mix wasn't bad. I dont even like skrillex.

And skream's boiler room set was fucking funny.
 
Threads because I REALLY should be more up on this than I am.

I basically never listen to mixes because I have a short attention span, which is stupid because I'm a producer.

But I did like Disclosure's:

Hudson Mohawke AKA half of TNGHT-

love how OP tells everyone not to argue about whos music is better then proceeds to tell others their choice is wrong.
