DJ Shadow - 30th March 2003
What the fuck! Radio 1's website conveniently seems to miss this one out, despite having all the others for this year! Never mind, eh.....

Anyway.... the mix..... well, sort of split down the middle, with loads of hip hop for the first hour and then goes into older, more obscure tracks for the second half. A good mix and a must for any DJ Shadow fan.

Unkle Sounds - 6th January 2002
Woohoo! I actually found a tracklisting..... not had much luck with that today. What can I say, it's an Unkle mix set. If you like Unkle and haven't got it already, you need it. If you've already got Big Brother is Watching you might not want to bother as it's the same mix.

Yeah, that pissed me off to say the least when I bought it!

Krafty Kuts - 27th February 2005
Krafty Kuts used to be my hero, but unfortunately he seems to have changed direction a bit and I'm not so keen now. That said, I think I've got to stick this on my iPod and have a few more listens to it before my final judgement. The first 20 minutes had me bouncing about in my chair but I got a bit bored after that and didn't listen much further, but having just flicked through it and checked the tracklisting I think I might have been a bit too hasty. For one I've just heard one of the tracks which takes me back to a very nice night out (though I'm not sure which one, think it might have been at The Glade a few weeks ago), think it's Alex Dolby, Hazy Way, about 90 minutes in, pure ecstasy ;-) Sort of gets me thinking of Angel's go Bald crossed with Layo and Bushwacka. Anyway, it's definitely recommended to be worth the download, can never have too much Krafty.

Hi, i don't know how to post to whoever operates this
site, i quite like it being myself quite a fan of these mixes. however for information, the dj shadow essential mix u have is a
tually a release called diminishing returns by dj shadow where u hear john peel's speak at the begining but don't get pete tong
talking shit every five minutes and the sound is of way better quality. being in the business myself i would be quite happy to
give you more informatio or other releases from the breezeblock or essential mix sets if i can. keep it going! cheers

Submitted by jon on 2005, August 1 - 2:54pm.

Hey nicouk, cheers for the info, I'll add it to the description. Someone also mailed me with a partial tracklist for it too which I've got to add some time. Possibly I might have more luck finding it looking for the diminishing returns tracklist.

Anyway, yeah, if you want to chat about exchanging mixes then drop us a message in the forums or something. I'll stick my list up there shortly.

Cheers,

Jon

Not 100% about this, but the DJ Shadow mix seems to be one i've found called Quannum, with tracklistings at http://www.djouls.com/index.php/all-dj-shadow-bootlegs.
Good work with the site fella!!

whoops THIS WEBSITE

hehe :)

Whether it be poker, films, mythology, music or porn, the more I get into it the more I get bored of everything. Probably due to having no attention span or short term memory. Someone post some links for something cool (and not a link for vaginal discharge pictures, like what happened last time I had a moan!). No offence jon, you have so much cool stuff, Iv'e had a verbal warning for breaking the download limit at work.

Submitted by jon on 2006, February 19 - 8:32pm.

Sounds like a challenge.....

If you're still about come post in the forum and I'll give it a go.... ;-)

Yes, yes, ok, hip-hop and breaks, I enjoy and appreciate that this isn't exactly a house music sort of page. All the same, DJ Heather's essential mix is golden. Rootsy, groovy Chicago house kinda stuff; some soul, some funk, some deckwork. Good stuff.
