Essential Mixing

Its been a while, I know. That is why I am here to tell you about the most complete electronic music collection online: BBC's Essential MIx. Since 1993, BBC has put out over 900 sets, of different Djs. This means that there is at least 2000 hours of music. Plus, the set are easily found online.
It is hosted by Pete Tong who is one of the driving forces behind English electronic music. Who also compiled the first essential Mix in 1993.
I tried to find this set, and surprisingly it was online. I heard the first 20 minutes, and its pretty good. It is 15 years old! If you guys like going back to the classics, you can check it out.

I like lists. So here we go. Here are some DJs that have mixed Essentially:
Sasha, John Digweed, Laurent Garnier, Moby, Carl Cox, Massive Attack, DJ Krush, Portishead, Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Felix da Housecat, Basement Jaxx, and Air. And believe me the list goes on. Those are only the big names I could find from before the year 2000!

I found a BEAST site. It has Essential Mix form 1993-2005. So if you guys get curious and decide to explore the dangerous world of electronic music, thats your online database.
Those Germans sure got it. Click for Essential mix Collection
