I love the essential mix as well man. But I expect stuff that is cutting edge.
I can’t stand when these “new” artists come on and spin stuff that isnt anything people havnt already heard. I expect artists on the essential mix to show what makes them special and where their musical tastes lie. It’s extremely disappointing when I hear stuff that is just what people are playing on beatport.
To your point… IMO there is just way to much tech house/techno on the essential mix.
There should be more dubstep, trance and electro. It would def spice up the schedule.
Some other awesome notable essential mixes: Eric Prydz, Daft Punk (1996 i think), Justice, Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner (2010). All of those mixes have changed my life in one way or another.

I agree that since tong left his essential slot that things have changed. I tried annie but it didn’t stick, but that’s what the kids like these days and fair play to em.
I was still downloading e mixes regularly untill a few years back, especially since “mixriot” had to stop making them available to download.
Anyone remember tasha killer pussy’s and Brandon block and alex p from 96? Two quality essential mixes.
So, who had the most appearances on the show? Carl cox(techno) Paul oakenfold(trance) :hehe:
Honestly, I don’t listen to BBC for anything except the essential mix. Mostly because that is for you UK people. However, it is in my opinion the best mix show around. It always has the most legendary mixes bar none from any radio show.
I did just hear about the LIVE LOUNGE recently, when they have peeps on.
Chase & Status did a showing recently… Anybody check it? It was awesome.
