EssentialSunday~Number 27_ Paul Van Dyk's End of Summer Mix

Sitting at the top of the charts for over a decade, Matthias Paul has revolutionized the art of disc jockeying and production. Better known under his musical pseudonym Paul Van Dyk, the German born maestro has sold over 3 million albums worldwide; much to accomplish for the electronic music industry. Since his start breeding his creativity through forbidden Western radio and smuggled mixtapes across the Berlin Wall, Paul could be called the 'Cinderella Story' of modern dance music. Beginning in 1994 Paul released Seven Ways, a continuous mix album of trance music released on MFS Records and later on Deviant and Mute Records. Since then he has released a plethora of EPs, LPs, albums, and mixes which lead him to the great success he has become today. With that said, Paul now hosts Radio Fritz every Saturday at 20:00 GMT and during his latest gigs, he compiles DJ'ing and live performance by utilizing two 17" MacBook Pro laptops whilst using Mainstage Logic 8 Pro and Ableton Live software on both laptops and two MIDI keyboards which definitely confirms the level this man is at. And now without further adieu, a man not so new to the Essential Mix line up, we have Mr. Paul Van Dyk bringing us a quite uplifting end of summer mix that I believe everyone can enjoy.

EssentialSunday~Number 26_ James Talk


Deep, dark, glitchy, techy, loud, chunky. I could sit here and write a novel titled "101 Adjectives Describing James Talk', but I wont bore you with such nonsense. Born in Southampton, James' career took off right after his guest appearance on John Digweed's Kiss 100 show back in 2005. Since then he's been gaining hype with projects for Underwater, CR2, Data, Big Love, Saved, and Little Mountain Records whilst working on his own label, Spoken Recordings. James continues his promising work as both a producer and DJ by giving us this week's Essential Mix. Enjoy!

EssentialSunday~Number 25_ Creamfields Special with Yousef & Mark Knight

This smashing Essential Mix comes to you in the form of a live set hot from one of UK's most celebrated festivals. Creamfeild's 11th annual celebration included sets from Tiesto, David Guetta, the Swedish House Mafia, and the two artists featured in this mix; Yousef and Mark Knight. In the first hour, Yousef takes us on a journey through South American minimal, giant tech tracks, and funkalicious boogie. An amazing hour of House music to say the least. Mark's set focusses on the opposite side of the house music spectrum, but is no less entertaining. He intro's with La Roux's mesmerizing vocals in Mark's own remix of 'In For The Kill,' and flys through some excellent big room tech, up-lifting vocals, and moving bass. If your an Essential Mix fan, you need to get up on this one!

EssentialSunday~Number 19_ Major Lazer


Major Lazer is the legendary Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Now, his cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, has a rocket powered skateboard, and this week brings us a nothing-but-exceptional Essential Mix.

EssentialSunday~Number 11_ Laurent Garnier


For just about two decades now French maestro Laurent Garnier has been djing and producing all over the world. Starting in the late 80's under the name Dj Pedro, Garnier has played at all sorts of clubs and events earning him respect as one of the greatest djs in the world. We last heard him in 2005 for the Essential Mix in Ibiza, but in this week's two hour mix, Laurent brings us a set broken in half. The first being strait from the club and the second will be "extremely, extremely open minded." Also for this post I have included a mix from Garnier at Rave Energy 1993 (for those who are interested), to hear the progression electronic music has made over the years. Hope all enjoy this fantastic mix!

EssentialSunday~Number 7_ Sub Focus


Although here at MildWild it is truly uncommon for drum & bass to be posted, I believe that this week's Essential Mix deserves a listen. The young and talented Nick Douwma a.k.a. Sub Focus brings to us a nonstop sleezy-bass filled mix that completely blew my head off. Only first being introduced to the electronic community in 2003, Sub Focus has pushed the limits of drum & bass earning him the number one spot on the UK Dance Chart with his 12" 'X-Ray/Scarecrow' in March of 2005 and another top spot in June of 2008 with past 12" 'Timewarp/Join The Dots'. He's one of the top producers for the 'king of drum & bass' Andy C's massive label RAM Records and sure doesn't disappoint with both his productions nor this explosive mix. For this week's BBC ear pounding pleasure we have none other than Sub Focus. Enjoy!
