For people who are new to the genre, Essential Mixes are one of the best ways to get to really know EDM artists. While artists typically get popular through hit singles, in full sets artists make a lot of experimental tweaks and changes to make it a unique experience. In the same way that CD's killed the full-album experience, live sets are bringing that "full" artist experience back. I've compiled a short list of we…

Those are definitely some good names today; but if you want a bit of a history lesson I'd check out Sasha in the late 90's and early 00's. Also Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, John Digweed, and Carl Cox were all in their prime during those days.

So true - Paul Van Dyk was my gateway into the whole EDM genre.

After that it was Tiesto and Van Buuren.

Nu NRG is also good.

For those who aren't aware, getting offered to play an essential mix is a huge honor in the electronic music world. Most of the mixes on this site are from artists giving it their very best. Cracking good work! This looks incredibly polished for a side project; are you planning on building it up?

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, we are planning on building it up. Just wanted to get it out and get some feedback.

Thanks for this! I've been out of good EDM mixes for about 5 years now because I didn't know where to get them. Podcasts just aren't the same...

Not bad. I wish someone would create the same, but instead use Fabric mixes. A more well rounded mix series. Nothing against Essential. I just prefer Fabric and Fabriclive stuff.

Don't you worry. They're coming;)

Keep us posted. Keep up the good work.

Ah, I wish you could scroll through them. I really want to hear the end of Nero's.

Yes, after starting a few that bring back some major memories, I really want to skip ahead and hear stuff from later. It's definitely possible with soundmanager2, which he's using (http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/). Hope he adds that. Don't get me wrong, I love the site!
