I searched the archives, so I feel safe in starting this.

1. Kitsune Midnight

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

2. Get Physical Label Compilation Mixed by M.A.N.D.Y.

It's the German Waves!

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

3. DJ Magazine Presents DJ Ryan Shaw in Collaboration With Tom Middleton
(however, it practically pastiches the past 6 months of excellent mag cover dance CDs before it with 2 tracks from the last Jockey Slut Disco Pogo...set and a similar use of Charles Manier's 'Change You' to Phillipe Zdar's Cassius mix for the last Muzik. Also, vaguely self-conscious, a couple of kinks and use of 'eclectrician' in the liner biography).

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Robotnick (Alexander) "The disco-tech of..."
Maetrik did a great unnamed electro and tech-house mix as well.

7. Akufen - Fabric 17

bangin' funky micro!

― Mind Taker, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

if the second half of "Kitsune Midnight" was as good as the first one - or any good AT ALL - it would be my favourite comp of '04, but alas...

― Mind Taker, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

8. Ben Cormier & Dan Hartrell - Merck Mix 3

― harshaw (jube), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

No, dudes, we don't really have to number this

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Can't find the Get Physical comp though I'm a big fan of their stuff.

Anyone heard the Headman Eskimo mix yet? Also any mainstream/bigroom recommendations would be good, accessible catchy stuff, we need some at work to sell.

Love the Robotnick Discotech, and the DJ Cosmo one is nice too. Also enjoying Culture Club 2 (though not as much as the first one), and Personal Golf Instructions mixed by the Nextmen, very hip-hop/dancehall style, and great.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I need your recommendations people, I may get to come back to London again this year.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

6) Mwei Lun - Uno Records

googling suggests this is "mei lwun".

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 19 August 2004 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

(x-post, duh)

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 19 August 2004 04:39 (twenty-one years ago)

9) Just want to say I love love love Ellen Allien's My Parade mix. Check the schaffel track!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Christian Sprenger's 'Schlank & Tief' mix is also pretty great, once you get past the first four tracks or so of trad deep house snooze.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:47 (twenty-one years ago)

10) EDMX enooze 21 - http://www.enooze.com, from old electro (of course) > acid > grime.. 71 mins, perfect CD size as well..

― jk____________+, Tuesday, 24 August 2004 10:11 (twenty-one years ago)

11) omnipotent baby - what goes wrong when trying to make friends
12) ryan kuo - evergreen mix
13) philip sherburne - schaffel is stronger than pride
14) grievous angel soundsystem - abstract 2-step

15) dj clever - offshore presents: troubled waters
16) dj smallz - southern smoke X

18) dj/rupture vs. mutamassik - shotgun wedding vol. 1: the bidoun sessions
19) lord of the decks: fellowship of the mic 2
20) dj target - aim high presents vol. 1

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Jess, you are indispensable.

I hate to admit it almost, but I'd definitely buy Ministry Australia's edition of Clubber's Guide To 2004 (http://www.discogs.com/release/283674).

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Barima that Get Physical comp is tops! DJ T's "Freemind" esp is so wonderful (though I knew it already from Ronan's mix) but perhaps predictably I think my favourite track is the closing Captain Comatose remix - WOW.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 27 August 2004 01:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Music sounds better with you.

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Friday, 27 August 2004 09:19 (twenty-one years ago)

21. equinox - knowledge presents...inperspective records in the mix

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 August 2004 09:24 (twenty-one years ago)

bah, the shops have stopped stocking that issue of knowledge, it's some timeless records mix now. that said, the inperspective tracks i have heard have been a bit mired in beat science, the whole live kit sound. how propulsive is the mix cd jess? am i wrong to want a few think and funky mule breaks?

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Friday, 27 August 2004 09:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Ascension Pantograph

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Friday, 27 August 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

it's very much that live kit sound filtered to fuck-all, but it really flows nicely and occasionally gets quite mash-up (ironically i think the inperspective records make even less sense outside the mix than "straight" supposedly more boring nu-dnb records...the label they remind me of most is perlon.)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 27 August 2004 10:06 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, i see what you mean, it was always better mixing 'seventh samurai' with 'ufo' than listening to either on their own.

cd swap would be ill if you fancy it?

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Friday, 27 August 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Why did I never buy Knowledge comps?

― R.I.M.A. (Barima), Friday, 27 August 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

ignorance :)

― nebbesh (nebbesh), Friday, 27 August 2004 13:42 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

an extra vote for the Nextmen Golf Instructions mix ..loving that one lots ..
and if you still need more hiphop/rock mashups www.djaristocat.com has a fine set of tunes put together (esp the 'no ideas original' set)

― mark e (mark e), Monday, 13 September 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah that is ace, the nextmen thing.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 13 September 2004 14:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Heads up kids, Jonny Rock & Matt Styles' "See You @ the Party" mix (the Music For Freaks label retrospective, or "Hoedown" as the title sez) is ace ace ace. Like a more full-bodied Perlon, or indeed the Freaks album if it was all dancefloor intensity rather than mostly half-formed skits.

Just nabbed the Headman mix ("Dance Modern") on promo as well and will report back.

I'm getting the sense that this is maybe the best year for house mixes in quite a while.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 24 September 2004 10:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Track 15 - Rub's "Who Said That" - OMG WTF!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 24 September 2004 11:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh my god I'm only on the third track of the Headman mix but already it's fucking awesome. How come I've never checked out New Fast Automatic Daffodils? "BIG" is the absolute bomb - tribal acid indie!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 24 September 2004 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

as I said on the other thread, I love that Music For Freaks thing, I am beginning to think Tim is a co-worker in disguise.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 26 September 2004 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

am i wrong to want a few think and funky mule breaks?

no think but everyone else except Pieter and Polska uses crate-sampled breaks. "Darker Self" has funky mule. i wonder how much Inp's live kit sound has to do with better technology -- cleaner sampling etc.

― ryan kuo (ryan kuo), Monday, 27 September 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

anyway does someone know where the DJ Target cd is available? and how consistent is it? i've heard about half and it takes a real quick detour into hip-hop territory, a real disappointment after those first two grime riddims.

― ryan kuo (ryan kuo), Monday, 27 September 2004 23:53 (twenty-one years ago)

a more full-bodied Perlon, or indeed the Freaks album if it was all dancefloor intensity

similarly, i am enjoying brett johnson's "business as usual" mix for classic. it is as classic as luke solomon's disc on "thanks for coming by" and even more classic than derrick carter's. almost, but not quite as classic as doc martin's (but hey, maybe that's california bias)

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 27 September 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

suck my deck by ivan smagghe belongs on this list.

― tricky disco (disco stu), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 13:50 (twenty-one years ago)

okay, I know this thread is mostly for mixes of new/newish records, but both the Tim Love Lee and Saint Etienne entries in The Trip series are well worth your money, and not (just) for trainspotter-y reasons

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Daddy G's DJ Kicks mix. Nothing much new but some great 'oh yeah, remember that' moments.

― harshaw (jube), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

you bet weve got something personal against you. excellent neo-electro 2cd comp/mix on creme organization. not exactly new but aparently overlooked.

― :| (....), Sunday, 28 November 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

the moonbootica mix "dj sounds good" is great. theres a ton of discohouse with electro leanings on it by people ive never haerd of. track 11 (fat phaze: dont be shy) = the bomb.

― :| (....), Thursday, 2 December 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh I want that. Their remix of "Tessio" is still one of the best things ever, I used it as a set closer on one of the few occasions I've DJed and the dancers loved it to bits.
