deadmau5 is sick, whats everyones problem?! Absolute bangers!
stu, oxford

Great line up ... love the titles and the tunes aren't that bad either ...
50Cent

Looked absoulutly bouncing there, seen him in Edinburgh... whata performance !!!
Tony Carrigan, Glasgow

Came up for Angello and Tongy mainly, never been a massive fan of Deadmau5 but must admit he rocked it and now starting to get in to his album! When he dropped 'Reward is Cheese' the crowd went wild! great stuff keep it up!
Steve - Bath

I really felt like I was in the Warehouse. The sound is so alive. Great presentation, but not so sure about where the music is going.
Pammy G

Absolutely electric is the only way to describe this. Having stood in the crowd during the live broadcast and listening back. Essential mix live is unbeatable (((d[-__-]b)))
Shane - Carlisle

i was there on friday and the people who are asking why did deadmau5 do another ess/mix are chatting doo doo, he was sick the place was rammed to the rafters, the guy is a producer so he is an artist this is why he plays most of his own stuff, would you go to an oasis concert and expect them to do other peoples stuff ?my ownly gripe of the evening was tong he was just to progressive for me i think he should have smashed it at the end, but he only dropped 3 tracks that interested me !!!! never mind i just hope deadmau5 comes back to manchester ASAP!!!
mike newton manchester

good sets.. but shame Deadmau5 keeps playing all the same tunes in his sets.. he could defo do with mixing up a bit now.... Tong normal stuff nothing amazing...
Tim - London

Sorry..Deadmau5's set was pretty damn boring..sounding all the same and pretty much put me to sleep..went in no direction whatsoever..He may fade as quick as he blew up..Pete's set was great..A set to rock out and party to..Keep it up Pete..Cant wait for Luciano and Lavelle
Todd - san diego

Deadmau5 was superb what a night!!! pete - you need to step it up a bit that was pretty lame in comparison
ian - chorley, lancs

Fair dooo's PETE you neva let us down, another s**t hot set!! Roll on next week hey!!
Steve Smart - Mid Wales

electro rocks- hell yeah deadmau5 can work a crowd talk bad all you want but anybody would have been dancing at this show
kasey-arizona

I was lucky enough to be at the warehouse project that night - simply awesome!
James - Manchester

Love it, enough said!
Brendy Belfast

quality beats from start to finish, wished i was there for the carnage
steve-kendal

u lot r chatttin rubbish deadmau5 set was insance i was there it was raw he is god petes set was pritty nice to. end of story the end
jwizzle

what a greasy night! Best i've been to in along time!!!!!!!!
jack birmingham

ok i guess, but the 'sometimes things get, whatever' was 10 mins long... jeez, you could just hear the crowd noise gradually disappearing. i would have defo gone and got a drink during that.not really 'world class' dj skills.
david - edinburgh

Not the best set from deadmau5 but that's only because of how good his last essential mix was. The point of him playing a lot of his own work is to make his mixes unique so the criticism he recieves for that is totally unjust. It takes bottle to play so much of your own work and not rely on obvious crowd pleasing anthems.
Wayne Leeds

oh! danny howells played for 6 hours and we got a re-run of deadmau5' set a few months back?? maybe there was too much whiskey in room 2...
josh, norwich

Deadmau5 is god... plain and simple! Amazing set!!
James House, Sarnia Canada

Big up Deadmau5! big up Pete Tong! Big up San Diego
Francis San Diego, CA

Deadmau5 is a real artist!!! Quality set and great programming. He really set the mode for the entire set!
Justin Anderson Belleville Ontario Canada

yes,now theres the best comment ive heard.please deadmau5 go to mexico,with any luck youll really like it and not come back.poor mexicans.
ray ayr

good mix, but deadmau5 was an absolute trainwreck into star 69. It is an odd beat, but i had to cringe
rob, lexington, KY

Hi, I was there at the Warehouse Project on Friday night, the atmosphere was electric and I think that comes across in the essential mix. Deadmau5 was solid and Pete was too, remember this is a live EM and you have to work the crowd! Well done sirs!
Nathan, Manchester

deadmaus intros rock.for all the doubters out there,what do you think he plays?!hmm dark progressive house.hate it then dont listen! hes a talent no matter how you look at it!bbc1? why dont you podcast? the best play on podcasts elsewhere too.wouldnt you want them to hear it worldwide?adjust to future,give in and let the world enjoy at work, school, jogging, or wherever!
sean cambridge canada

Deadmau5 is amazing im looking forward to see you in mexico city dec 6 hope u have a new set lol
Gualberto --- Mexico City

WHENS THE ESSENTIAL MIX GONNA BE A PODCASSSSSST?!!!!
anstey

Deadmou5 was fine, Pete Tong also but a little flat in places, a few more key changes would have made the mix more interesting and Tong needs a bit more compression on some of his tracks,the pitch variation and build up was limited but overall I enjoyed it some great tracks respect to deadmou5 and Tongy
Geoff - Hereford

firstly, it was billed as a live show so if he wants to play all of his own tracks then surely he can!?secondly, he's just released the album and propbably wants to promote it!enjoyed both hours!! sweet!
Liam - Sunderland

Pete Tong - you are a legend, Deadmau5 your awesome too, come back to Manchester soon
Bizzy - Manchester

Deadmau5 is killing it at the moment. Little similar to his previous EM but nice to hear him live. Bring on Deamau5 in Tripod this friday!
Moners, Dublin

I was there. Deadmau5 was pure class. Destroyed the dancefloor. Dont think pete tong knew what to do after that coz he was doin some rubbish effects for about 20 mins at the start of his set and droped it into the worst tune ever. Just wish Deadmau5 was on for longer. We salute the Mau5
Ryan H - Manchester

Totally spoilt by some idiot whistling all the way through it!
Ian Manchester

Great stuff from Deadmau5, very individual. I think you need to get Above & Beyond back to do a new mix since EM of the year in 2004. They just keep getting better and better, now they have a few more years under there belt. Quality trance is still out there!
Ian, Nottingham, UK

Enjoyed this for a bit but then just got a headache. Deadmau5 is a good Producer but this just relies too much on gimmicks and noise for noise's sake ('electro' in other words) Pleeeeeeeeeeease sort out the broken link to Dennis Ferrer's tracklistings
D, London

Deadmau5 rocked it again. The guy is inspirational. Loved his new tunes and I'm lovin his live sets. Taking DJing to the next level. So many critics out there and on these boards. Don't see them changing the face of electronic music.
Roy Antonio, Liverpool

All I can say is this man saved trance otherwise I'd be done with it. I'm very proud he's representing Canada!! Let the haters hate :D and let the beats come naturally :D
Dj Horny-Lorny, SK, Canada

i was there, whole night was immense angello, deadmau5 and tong all played quality sets each one was different but night flowed perfectley was the 3rd time seen deadmau5 live and rocked it every time and looking back reviews 4 deadmau5 1st mix danny you seem to be the only person to slate it x
Andy Grimsby

I well enjoyed Deadmau5 set, was gutted as my mates went to hear him play at the warehouse project.. Roll on the 25th.. Deadmau5 at the victoria works in Leeds
Marc Wilkie - Leeds

I was in the Warehouse project on Friday. Both sets were spot on. Epic atmosphere ! Definatly will go see the Mau5 again next time hes in the U.k.
Jay Liverpool

Remember its Pete's fault!!! Great set...therefor I blame Pete for my lack of sleep friday night/saturday morning
Ed Kenny, Kingston Upon Thames

Hold on a sec guys... haven't we heard this mix already this year? Yeah Deadmau5 is a great producer but his sets seem to be pretty boring. You'd think he'd have played maybe a few different songs song considering its his 2nd Em in about 3 months x
Jamie, Leamington

Naughty! the music by Deadmau5 just took me back to Ibiza, its just naughty horrible music n i love it!
Big Dunc, Manchester!

It's supreme sound and mix! It's a pleasure for my mind and my soul! Are u dancing universe? I hope so!
DJ RCALLMANN - From Rio de Janeiro - Brasil

now then, what a difficult one! deadmau5 is a production hero, and his EM is definitely 2 hours of the best house music of the year...however, i agree it is starting to sound a bit samey live!!! not enough progressive sounding stuff either, where are tracks like arguru :(
gez, lancaster

Pete should have played first, his set was very cool, lots of bouncy tunes in it. Then The crowd would be fired up and Deadmau5 would of had the crowd absolutly rockin! Deadmau5 coming to my home town this thurs:) Keep up the good work Pete.
Damien , Ireland

Deamau5 was amazing! Progressive electronica at it's best! Absolutely blew me away! I've been listening again all week! Please sir can I have some more!
Martin, Manchester

Deadmau5 is the best dj of 2008, i saw him satday night in sheffield was CLASSSSS!!!
dave- sheffield

One Word ........... ROCKING !
Oliver. Swansea

Deadmau5 is coming to Mexico City on 6th of December im looking forward to see him cheers
Gualas/ Chilangolandia

Whats everybody hating on the mau5 for???? He rips it up when you see him live thats all there is to it.. And he is always into his sets, and what he is playing...
Nicasio - Melbourne, Florida

First time and definately not the last time at Warehouse! Scene set and standards all of a high calaber, superb mix and night! Altho Deadmau5 mayb spent to long in some tracks! Gud times tho, keep her lit
Matt / Beflast n.ireland

This might work to dance to but listening to something that ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS Sounds like The Record / CD is Stuck repeating AGAIN and AGAIN and - 'BIG YAWN' - AGAIN is Mind Numbing. Thanks You BBC for the iPlayer so I can skip this stuff !
Dazzer - Brum

Another awesome set by Deadmau5 and way to wrap it up Pete, classics all the way! Always a good show, but please! stop dropping Hi Friend every weekend! It's a slamin track, but it loses its flair when you hear it every week!
Forrest Yockey - Lansing, Michigan

How can anyone say that Deadmau5's set was anything apart from fantastic ... I pity the fool
munkee, UK

Utter repetitive crap all round from Deadmua5, he'll still be playing the same sound and same sets in 10years time. I am amazed why people think just cos he's produced a few decent tracks he can all of a sudden claim to be an amazing DJ, the 2 are completely different skills, the latter of which he definately hasn't As for Pete, expected more from someone as experienced. However on the whole, from both guys, I wasn't let down as I had totally anticipated this.
Phithy Chit Manchester

Think this mix is so good cause i was there in person! i understand how deadmau5's set can sound the same sometimes but they are still amazin and he seriously knows how to rock a room! petes set was really good to especially the hour that never good aired on the radio!
Robyn - Liverpool

I was there on friday, great music, great location, GREAT atmosphere. What a night!
Olly - London

The mauS is not Dead! Awesome !Let's go DeadmauS !Come to Montreal dude! We are waiting for you! In new music we trust! Enjoy!
Henry - Montreal Canada

my props to Deadmau5 & Tongy2 different sets, 2 great djs/producers, that's the party success formula.Talking about mau5' set, that was a good one, groundshaking electro-house tracks, set that was made for a crowd. Joel, don't pay attention to the haters, just do what you're doin man, we love U.Tong's set is dope, a true techno set with some tribal vibes
Nurken (Almaty, Kazakhstan)

I was there! This was a mental set and the atmosphere was amazing!
Tom, Manchester

what a great set, i cant wait to see deadmau5 in dublin.
robbie dublin

Was an amazing set. There's no one better around than deadmau5 at the minute. For anyone who wasnt at warehouse project, you missed out.
John in Manchester

Deadmau5 is the best DJ/producer around this year he rocks the place and works the crowd in any club.
Ross Birmingham

Good job on the second hour Pete, come back to San Diego...minus the rain :) Overall I can see how Deadmau5 can work a crowd, but I can only take so much electro anything of a sound.
Raymond Enrique, San Diego

Pete Tong just doesn't listen, does he? The Essential Mix from Deadmau5 earlier this year got slated all over the net, and what does he do? Asks him to do another one! Two hours of absolute rubbish.
Danny, Manchester

Deadmau5's set wasn't too bad, Pete's was pretty uninspiring :-(I'm a huge fan of deadmau5, and have read criticism about him only playing his own music/remixes, and I'm starting to think he needs to mix it up a bit, purely for variety as all his live sets are starting to sound all too familiar.
Heath, London

I Thought Both Essential Mixes Were Smart Live At The Warehouse Project Manchester On The 11/10/2008
Timothy Wright Cheshire

wat an amzin set
Ryan Hallett

Is there really anyone better than this man right now?Truly awesome, unique sound, one of the best Essential mixes ever, gotta love his intro's too ;)
Tom, Guildford

only got to hear the first hour of this seemingly excellent set at a library as my computer is on the blink, wish BBC would sort it out so I can listen again using my iPhone! Come on guys, let's have an option to stream MP4 audio using BBC mobile, which is a great site only lacking this one crucial feature!
Keith De Lucci, Portadown N.I

bit 50/50 this one, absolutely class in places, bit sketchy elsewhere - mix into 88 wasn't amazing, and some of the tunes weren't amazing - however, dahlback's own productions are so sick it's unreal, bring on kaiki's release!
gez, lancaster

Man, how au5ome was Friday! Deadmau5 was definitely the most electric performance of the year for me, savage is an understatement !!
Nick - Manchester

Keep up for Manc...lots of good news last few years...Warehouse project is one of it...
ZentaXX from The Hague

Where's Deadmau5's tracklisting disappeared to?!?!?Can't wait to see the mau5 man in Leeds soon!!!
Claire - Bradford

Awsome...wish I'd been there in person
chrissie bournemouth

brilliant chooooons!!!
Mark, Sydney, Australia!!

Absolutely smashing set!!! Couldnt stop dancing...'Sometimes things DO get complicated.'
Phade, Cd. Juarez Mexico

Absolutly sublime 5*Keep up the good vibes :)
Francisco London

that is power i dance and jump all nigth long please deadmau5 come to mexico
maurcio ledesma mexico city

Deadmau5 Proved Again That He IS the Producer/DJ of the Year. Amazing! His Essential Mix Earlier This Year is The Essential Mix of 2008 on Radio 1! Hands In The Air!
Tim Martin Palm Beach Gardens Florida

Deadmau5 is amazing, easily EM of the year for his studio mix earlier in the year, and the intro to his live set tonight was awesome. Pete Tong..........AGAIN! This is like his 8th set this year, enough already Pete, stop hogging the airwaves. We all know your good etc but a little bit of variety would have been nice. (3*** show)
Nick - Preston

amaaaaaaaaaazing!!you rule the world!
iggy, japon

keep begging for sample cd based cookie cutter music while you knock true artists.Great mix FlyLo,thanks radio one for continuing to bring us some of the best electronic music has to offer
Leo - New York

THE EM HAS TWO MANY 'BIG POPULAR' GENRES,WITH THE 'BIG POPULAR'DJS PLAYING OUT THEIR GOOD OLD BLAND AGE STUCK IN A RUT STUFF.THIS MIX IS JUST FAB,ITS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING,IT REMINDS ME OF THE AMAZING EM BY DAVID HOLMES IN THE EARLY 90S(MORE DAVID HOLMES PLEASE!)KEEP GOING WITH THIS AND NOT THE BLAND AGE STUFF.
NEIL CORNWALL

Nice mix man really enjoyed it. Nice to hear something different. 7/10
Rychard, Northants

MP3 making software saves this for the mp3 forever. EM you really should sort out a podcast or in-house repository. your archives are our history.
ward - dublin

In my opinion he is the greatest living electronic artist, in terms of pure talent and originality i actually think he is the Aphex Twin of LA but less dark and mental. LEGEND.
FJM

Wot an obsoulute load of old tosh....
P, Milton Keynes

oh steve, you never seize to amaze me.
angie

A bit boring for an essential mix. Sounds like someone fannying about with samples rather than mixing music.
rob, notts

clearly gone over a lot of peoples heads. . best ever. thankyou r1
k

The future of the music !
Cadfael, France

CG in northern NSW, Aus

Another E.M. of the year? The sounds can only be matched by Trentemoller... where have you been?
CFunk,USA

Some great stuff coming out of LA! Not a dance mix, true... but a remarkable audio journey. Represent!
Andrew, Southern California

HUGE....
astral Paris

Fly Lo I love him he's plugged in. The first time I listened to Los Angeles I thought what is this more electro beeps & noises & I thought darn I wasted my money. But I put it on in the car while driving & I really listened & what I heard was a stunning journey through every single optic fibre in my body. This is more than music this is pure emotion & mind trippery. I am so glad I bought this album & I hope he comes out with some more juicy stuff mmm I love it : )
Mark London town

Ace - well done everybody
R Hood, Notts

ha. you haters just don't understand.quite simply incredible.
Illum Sphere, Manchester, UK

AMAZING
Micha Venderbos, Nijmegen NL

not my cup of tea but the guys obviously talented, you can defo see hi family jazz connections in his sort of free form style!!!
modz74 birminhgam

Essential mix of the year! No question! Truly astonishing creativity. We need more producers like this who THINK differently about music. So many influences you can pick up in this one.For those who think the off-time beats are unintentional, I think you need to listen to some of his productions...! Marvellous!
Mike M, Manchester

absolutely brilliant...best em of the yearps please get calibre to do one
george, london

This mix was skillfully crafted, Flylo is a genius, and the songs had a rich lush texture. It was nice to hear all the unreleased tracks and mashups he created. Excellent job!!
Michael, US

uhm yeah this mix is sooo crucial. who are these people dissing flylo, they wouldn't know a fart from good music. pull your head out.....
chris Sedona, Arizona

Absolutely amazing mix! Loved it! EM of the year?
Cedric, Melbourne

Truly amazing. You all are blessed to be able to listen to this essential mix. You know what they say, you are doing something RIGHT when you get people hating on you. big ups lotus!!
James, Atlanta Georgia

Not the best mix i have ever heard, for some reason it reminds me of my hard rough rugby days. I'm now a very good DJ and feel as though i would not be happy for my fans if i played this style genre of sounds. i rate it 5/10 for good efforts. very good
LJ, Sheffield

All I can say is wow, never heard anything like this. Great change from the nostalgic house mixes of this year, big ups BBC.
Sman, Chicago IL

Something different, wicked Essential Mix! I looove Flying Lotus.. More please!
Carrie, London

Dissappointing.Course some good tunes ..but as a 2 hour mix did get all a bit dull in places - bit more variety would not have gone amiss.Can't help but think he is just bit overhyped - i really liked 1983 and Control but his LA album was really disappointing stuff - full of averageness and fair few forgetable track.Anyhow this essential mix isn't something i can imagine being in a rush to hear again even tho there are some gems in there.
Stunning Man Goo

people need to stop hating on the essential mixes, at the end of the day there are so many styles of electronic music nowadays that of course people arent going to be entertained week in week out. i myself dnt enjoy some mixes but from now on i thnk if u dnt have anything good 2 say, dnt say nuthing at all
Sean, Scotland

Lovely mix - definitely a change of pace from the norm on the EM, but that's not such a bad thing now is it? Nice job mixing up the sounds R1. Let's have more of this in '09.
matt - chattanooga, tn, usa

Interesting. Helped with my economics essay. The sonic laser beams with the ambient sounds and off beat variety and minor key clashes really all fit well. can't judge the DJ ability as i have NO idea how many samples or tracks are going on. nice. But wouldn't buy it. Minimal and a jazz offspring spliced.
One for the Memory Bank

i'm completely blown away! never heard anything like it before! this is exactly how it should be done!
lsd, gothenburg;sweden

Loving it.
Josh - Nottingham

this owns my day........ but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy can't we download this?!?!?!
Jacked Bauer - Dog Park, Wisconsin, USA

It is a great mix I'd give Lotus that...but this isn't what I was looking for when I came looking for the Essential Mix podcast...Im at minute 20 and still not 'bored' as some of you commented...pretty random and yes the randomness might get repetitive...just not yet... :)uhhhh???
Moy - Houston - U.S

Those people who didn't like this mix, don't deserve to have ears!You need your art spoon-fed to you.Go back to grad school little boy.Excellent work flylo keep it on the down lo.Ray.
R. Manzerak. L.A.

Flylo essence-ential
J. Burton - Los Angeles

We need essential mix with Bad Boy Bill Please We need a bad boy bills essential mix!!!!
Jeffry, COLOMBIA

I think whilst we are all entitled to an opinion.Getting upset because you didnt hear what you liked on an EM doesnt mean you should knock someone else for being brave enough to make something of themselves. It's worth noting that the radio producers who go looking for good mixes spend alot of time and hardwork to bring you great content.You may sometimes not like what you here but perhaps by broadening ones horizons you'll find that you may learn something new.Afterall it's just music and everyone is entitled to express their musical freedom.That is afterall the cornerstone of electronic music.
Bruno

Flylo is just going from strength to strength.Very much like marmite though, you either love him or hate him. Personally I think it's some of the best music being made at the moment.
Ronin, London

fly lo is like wo
Minesh, Leicester

phenomenal,and all you haters moaning about the essential mix being only for 'dance music' GET A GRIP.the em has and always will be at the forefront of ALL ELECTRONIC MUSIC,but i suppose these will be the same people screaming out for deadmau5 to be em of the year.and as for THE TRUTH your comment last week is as ill informed as the drivel you spout this week.peace brothers and sisters.
ray ayr

This Mix Was Defiantely Something Different And I Liked It A Lot I Would Like To Hear Some More Of This Aquacrunk On The Bbc Thanks
Timothy Wright Chesire

Are people so narrow minded that they expect the EM to be the same old house, electro & minimal every week? This mix and the recent London Electricity one are a refreshing break from the norm. I could probably predict right now what tunes the Swedes will play.
Simon, Leeds

The biggest load of muck ive ever heard
Paul, Belfast

Why do you people keep calling this dubstep? It's not. But it is brilliant.
Stephen, Manchester

I like it a lot, its really a true great one. Tres bien. We'd like to have more psychedelic music like this... merci Fly Lo!
Diane, Berlin

OMG?! Have I just heard one of the BEST Essential Mixes EVER?! Trust the BBC to bring us up to date cutting edge electronic music to the core, THANK YOU for introducing Flying Lotus to us BBC, THANK YOU!!!!
Gary, P'boro

lotus is a mad snake but i feel this mix is lacking a bit.still better than most.
nuto the unstoppable; melb - aus

yeah it's too experimental. can i hear other mixes instead then?

amazing mix, full of glasgow team!
konxompax, glasgow

i love mr lotus
kate magic, brighton

I love this essential mix. Flying Lotus is an amazing artist....
Joe, Manchester

peter from wandsworth london should expect some more 'surprises' from America seeing how we have some of the best up and coming djs and electronic music in the world.give it about a year or so as the sound permeates into your mainstream.much respect radio one for trying something different and im looking forward to the upcoming broadcasts
lee savoy - miami

Essential Mix of the Year, no question, and if there's been a better 2 hours on Radio 1 since Peelie died I must have missed it. Never heard of Flying Lotus before but I'm a fan now! Reminded me of the FSOL mixes they did in the first few years of the EM - wonderful soundscapes with a mix of film samples. Fantastic!
Ed, Devon

I don't normally tune in to the show but had to for this. killer beat journey from one of LA's finest.
Craig, London

Disappointed in this mix. Way to experimental.
Brian, NY New York

Loved it, and am now a fly lo fan for life.

Luiz G, Brazil

With all the people making amazing electronic music in LA right now... I wish BBC had picked someone else
Ty! in LA LA LAND

Hands down, easily the essential mix of the year, a true journey through genre and style, full of soul and ambition. Awesome!
Simon, Bournemouth

Absolutely Brilliant.Should be the essential mix of the year,i know it wont be though.Arguably the sound of the year globally,Flying Lotus has inspired so many producers around the world.Los Angeles is a timeless masterpiece that will be played for many years to come.Genius.
Ross East Sussex

I'm a little disappointed - I think this could have been a great chillout mix, but it's too, um, 'experimental'.
Mario / Boston

Never really picked up and lost me 6min into it. Tried skipping forward but still never caught my attention. Kinda dissapointed in Pete and the Essential Mix as this is my first real letdown
RonHanes Los Angeles, CA

Nice groovy chillout music does not get any better than this!
Joseph Turner, Lancashire.

rich mix this is what I consider to be sweeping ambient lush sounds..like a prefuse 73 but less chopped up
Gee Shanghai city of demons

was up for this...seems he lost interest half way through.Petetong still spoiling the mixes with his annoying blabbering

Best Essential Mix set of the year!

An AMAZING Compilation..
The Scotsican from Los Angeles

Real sweet selection, just listened to it on a sunday afternoon and it fit the vibe nicely...
Tom, New Jersey

Was this really broadcast on radio 1 as an ESSENTIAL mix??? I had it on in the background and where as normal I would turn the sound up gradually thoughout the mix. On this occasion I just ended up slowly turning it down more and more. No highlights whatsoever. :(
Daf in Wrexham

phew that was maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddddddd em of the year? maybe.....
simon uk

nice deep mix. great sonic textures one for the headphones. flying lotus lives up to the hype.
postman matt

Yes yes this is what is needed!Great mix I want to hear more from Flylo!
Jonathan in Manchester

Dance music? more like strictly come dancing music!!!!!!!! A poor essential mix if i was in a club iwould have asked for my admission money back. A very POOR choice.
Graham Flukes Leamington spa

Breath-taking mix, the industry needed shaking up after almost 10 yrs of electro/minimal/etc. This proves what an ace job warp records did in finding such an amazing talent and form california!- how weird, after steve akoi's load of toss i never thought america could make a come back, at last it finally has :)
peter, wandsworth london

amazing...reminds me on a dark room in Barcelona's Sonar.

Kaine from Australia

Very different, really enjoyed the sounds. Good to see someone try something new. Not sure the mainstream majority will approve, and whether its got any legs over here but well done BBC for giving it a go.

Mix of the year! WOW!
NVM, Los Angeles

Some good tunes...But over 2 hours a pretty dull mix..I liked Flying Lotus first few releases but his LA album was pretty poor stuff And this mix was ok but cant imagine myself ever wanting to listen to again in a rush
Gigolo Phoney , zmbwse

WOW !! tremendous change of pace...thanks for bringing his work to my attention...
Will from New Orleans

I really don't know where to start on this painful mix. Experimental=You mix for your friends who are too drunk or ignorant to tell you your music sucks and is off beat. Can't wait to hear all these crappy tracks on upcoming car adverts and gladiator movies. I never liked DJ Shadow anyways. BTW This mix syncs up perfectly with the movie wizard of oz exactly like Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon.
The Truth

Defiantly a different sound, but its pretty good. Makes you think out side the box a little bit
Larry S. (Hilton Head, SC)
