Right around the turn of the millenium, I downloaded a couple dozen Essential Mixes while I was on the GT campus. This just made my day--I really hope any legal issues can be avoided and this can stay online. :)

I really can't describe how much I'm enjoying going back and finding mixes from that era. Not only is the music great; but I feel like I just stepped into a time machine!

love that you posted here when you first saw it, then posted again after listening to a bunch that brought back memories... i did the exact same thing.

Love it, and loving your selection I'm seeing in there. You might like the "mix youtube music videos" website I made. You can load any youtube user's video playlists as "crates" and then mix from track to track: http://burnsmod.com/fun/mixtube/mixtube.html

That looks fun. Would be really useful if each list had a field to "cue" a youtube url that was not in the crate already. That way you can browse youtube in a separate tab to find a video, then cue it up and start the crossfade.

Thanks for the feedback man! We are trying to keep it as complete and organized as possible. We tried to get the location of the majority of the ones that are live or recorded at clubs. If you find anything that is off please don't hesitate to let us know.

No problem. Now that I've played around with it a little, a couple more points: - on the search results page the term 'essential mix' is set as a link, but when I click on it I'm taken to the entire collection of essential mixes - I'd expect the chosen essential mix to start playing. I see why you've done this, but I found it confusing as a first-time user. - I really like how clicking nearly anywhere on the search r…

Agreed, I had the same issue when I first hit the site.

Also: ability to seek would be nice, these are single tracks that are an hour or two long... not like you can just skip to the next song :)

This is awesome! You should add track lists and scrubbing without having to download the entire set. Remind me of the days when I used to work on Mugasha. My main problem was that it was a pain for me to find good stuff to listen to while listening. Check out bunch of old essential mixes on there. http://mugasha.com/essential-mix So I built Mugasha and solved that problem. You can listen to a ton of essential mixes o…

That's well done, hope you find a way to keep it alive.

How can I upload my own mixes?

This appears to only contain mixes from BBC's radio 1 essential mix, and FACT magazine guest mixes. So you'll need to become a world-famous DJ/producer to get your own mix uploaded.

Wow. This is very elite Web 1.0

There was a Soundcloud account with a like every essential mix ever on it the other week, but shortly after it disappeared - I think due to licensing issues with BBC content outside of the UK. Did you look into that for your player?

I'm still seeing it: http://soundcloud.com/das-boy/sets/essential-mix

Oh weird. Less than 24 hours after I first saw it from Twitter, the account was no longer active. Nice to see it's back!

I hope you're going with this where i think you're going with this. This is way beyond essential mixes . . . I haven't come across one good dj mix sharing website out there. Linking to already hosted content is 100% the way to go. Please keep it going.

Yep, right now I'm using Soundcloud and following a user on there who frequently posts new sets from popular artists. But it's just one user; I'd love to see that concept expanded upon and taken to a new site entirely. This site has been bookmarked; I'll be tracking to see where this goes!

please link :)
