Awesome! I usually download three or four of these a year from the DJs I like.

And Yes! I'm glad this came to HN, otherwise I wouldn't find it and I love the Essential Mixes.

From 2010 I recommend the one from John 00 Fleming at 13-FEB-2010.

You sir are a god amongst men. Wasn't aware that so many HN readers were into house, techno, trance, etc.

Anyone ever been to Ultra Music Festival? Most amazing time of my life.

Does anyone else have fond memories of the Oakenfold mixes? http://thenine.ca/essential/2000/2000.02.13%20-%20Essential%... http://thenine.ca/essential/2000/2000.05.21%20-%20Essential%...

Oakenfold's 'The Goa Mix' is probably the best mix I've ever heard.

Should be these two: http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/1994/1994.12.18%20-%20E...

I apologize. Justification for posting: 1. As a time portal showing the evolutionary development of electronic music over the past 17 years, it also a reflection of the evolution of personal computing. From atari and circuit bending roland synths to the macbook. 2. Music is an important part of my coding or designing process.

No apology necessary - this is an awesome find. Essential mixes are probably my most listened to programming tracks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

An occasional single post that contains a multitude of links is one thing. Encouraging people to make each of those links (and others like them) a separate post is another.

I might be misunderstanding you, but surely there must be a line between encouraging people and telling them to go to other sites.

" ... but surely there must be a line between encouraging people and telling them to go to other sites."

There's certainly some sort of misunderstanding going on, because now I have no idea what that is supposed to mean or refer to.

My original intended point:

I do not want to see more posts such as "Every BBC Essential Mix, 1993 to 2010". When they do appear, I prefer people not up-vote them; it just encourages more of the same.

I do, however, like certain posts that accumulate a multitude of links to a variety of music sources. And it was a post of that kind that was (incorrectly) presented as some sort of precedence for the current post.

In any event, these things will sort themselves out as people prefer.

So good it has its own Wikipedia entry - it's not often that a one-show playlist has been the template for a whole genre. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_Mix) Thanks for digging out the relevant links, mas I only had an incomplete copy of this.

Okay, you can take your comment to Reddit. I know complaining HN is turning into Reddit is a very catchy meme, but it has still, as of yet, to turn into Reddit and as music is a frequent topic on HN this is worthy of note. If you don't agree, either don't upvote, don't make a HN=Reddit complaint, or go to Reddit for 5 minutes and return in horror and feel strangely comfortable again on HN.
