Anyone got any Essential Mix recommendations? HMGovt posted Gerald's the other day and made me realise I've never actually listened to one.
gerald's one is awful, clanger after clanger, must have been a really off night when he recorded it who knows.

ed rush and optical 1999, just before the neuro-funk style totally fell on its arse.
and then it totally went into a 00s dance rut trance/prog house/breaks/indie dance whatever i never cared. actually outside of grime and dubstep you could convincingly argue that the 00s was one of the worst periods for dance music, even worse than now.
don't rate photek's one cos the 2nd hour is that execrable goldie mother in its entirety lmao.
recently.
Helena Hauff 2017..
DJ Stingray 2019.
I hear good things about Josey Rebelle 2019 as well. I've always liked her as a dj.
tbf apart from hard techno and that i wouldn't bother most of the jungle and garage stuff is just a pale imitation of pirate radio sets from that era. nothing like freek fm really, all slick enough for the tights and bras scanty clad babe mixmag house crowd.
