Top ones for me have to be : Alex Smoke Layo and Bushwacka James Holden and Nathan Fake Nic Fanciulli Axwell .... Been a wicked year for Essential Mixes i think - Probably have prefered them to any live sets or albums. Definately one of the absolute 100% best things in the whole worldwide dance music scene - Tongys ess mix!
Nathan Fake and James Holden Andre Galuzzi and Sven Vath Booka shade SVD Thought they were all very good.
Trance wise Van Doorn's and Chris Lawrence from Planet Love were wicked. Not really heard many others tbh, ones that i have heard and were good were Max Graham, Scott's from Shindig, Lawler from Pacha in ibiza, Nathan Fake & James Holden too
James Holdens was excellent. Really let down my Nathan Fakes though..... Never got round to hearing FK's or Lazarus'. will try and download.
I'm annoyed at myself that I've only listened to about 3 of them this year. The 'lineup' of all who were covered look class.
obviously... not to be supported without son of god-style beard, indoor scarf, lyle & scott cardi........
