UNKLE - Essential Mix [2002-01-06] bbc radio one. james lavelle

[@slipgatecentral]

20 years later, still one of the best dj sets ever performed. Doesn’t sound outdated at all. Even shitty recording quality gives it sort of flavor. #Oldschoolcool

[@4C1DT3ST]

Fucking genious....

[@TripLikeIDo86]

This mix defined my sophomore year of high school. I remember downloading the show overnight on 56k in Texas.

[@kevincreel3944]

Nothing like when one of those big 56k downloads actually completed! Cheers!

[@ERINFOODS]

56k 😁👍

[@d3drummerboy]

Simpler times I remember the 64kb downloads from the 90s dial up days, downloading a song felt like a major accomplishment

[@philiplevins6702]

54 years young...IMHO one of the very best mixes/musical compilations I've had the pleasure of absorbing/listening to...Deep....Gold indeed...enjoy brothers and sisters...peace x

@Gannon Alex Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@matthenley3886]

Quite possibly the best essential mix ever, forward thinking, eclectic but without being too far up it’s arse. Absolute genius

[@nwshirts]

That 47 minute mark when the Tomorrow Never Knows sample kicks in. Gets me every time

[@rogeranderson1744]

I've lost count how may times Ive played my of this mix - It needs to be played at the "Tate modern" on a constant loop - Its just a piece of Art ..........

[@thejoydivision8]

I 1,000,000% agree. "Blast that shit, turn that whole shit up!!!" What a face melter!!!

[@chickenfooker74]

Touche.

[@dirkdiggler5902]

One of the greatest mixes I’ve _ever_ heard... and I’ve heard a tonne of ‘em.

[@geekylucas]

This mix is legally old enough to drink in Australia. Still one of the best. James Lavelle, I salute you. 🍻

[@billymkirkwood4956]

I caught this and recorded it from 34 mins 42 seconds when its original release back in 02.. still great now by far a Pair of DJ's set apart from the rest of the field... James Lavelle and Richard File. 😎👌

that DMX/ Tears for Fears Mash-up was brilliant (Shout vs Who We Be)

[@stefanomeloni8731]

Yeah, from that point I am totally into the mix!

[@reezalrosli3104]

Exactly! My workout pump song now haha

[@AngryLotus]

It is pretty good, but it's no Thomas Gonna Give It To Ya. :)

Working from home, with construction sounds all over my building. With this when I put my headphones and I can finally focus on the code in front of me. Awesome find of the mix. Thank you.

[@zerotv78]

That was I was exactly was telling to my wife today, how effective this mix is to get focus and code for a straigforward 2 hours session.

[@ReachingFlowFaster]

I've been coding on this since 2005. Phenomenal set for coding indeed.

This is not just a set. This is a MOOD.

[@MrLerris911]

Wow I've been an unkle fan for years and considering this came out when I was in high school its nuts that it popped out now.

[@koreyjeffries9504]

lmao I was listening to it and they mentioned 2002.. I was like wtf it's that old lmao

[@simondurkin8593]

This is utterly amazing. So many layers and sounds that it feels a little chaotic but also cathartic and complete at the same time. Beautiful.

[@AndrewNicholson-b3q]

Been looking for a decent upload of this (probably my favourite essential mixes of all time) for over twenty years now and still just as mind boggling as when I recorded it live on my cassette recorder the night it first aired. 🎉thank you for sharing this with us and am definitely 💯 going to look up more mixes by James lavelle as he always seems to be able to bring something fresh to the table and I believe is one of (unkle sounds especially) the most innovative dj’s ever in any form of edm. Godbless and thanx again for bringing back this brilliant piece of work 😊

[@TechnicolorMammoth]

The video going with this is perfect. I love cruising our US highways so much, and Essential mixes fit them perfectly!

Unkle and ColdCut were very inspirational to me. When I lived in LA I used to walk whilst listening to "Journeys by DJ" from Coldcut. I was the nobody who walked in LA and yes, this is great.

[@sQueezedhe]

Holy crap. I think I had a copy of this all those years ago, maybe off limewire? I just stumbled across this video and it's a reminder of one of the best things to ever happen to me. Thanks for the upload.

Limewire? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a loooong time.....

[@andybeans5790]

I remember the first time I heard Psyence Fiction and it blew my tiny mind. I hit a few buckets, lay back and looped it for 3 hours straight

o hai comment from today!

[@BrunoBucci]

Richard Ashcroft voice is amazing. LONELY SOUL is one of the best songs because hes voice. Like The Test from Chemical Brothers with his voice. What voice!

[@craichead333]

Hey Bruno, yeah Longley Soul is pretty special but Rabbit In You Headlights on Psyence Fiction completely overwhelms Ashcroft song. It's typical Yorke, questions the very fabric of modern society. Art in its highest form.... for me anyway, 🤔

[@craichead333]

Sorry, monile typo, Lonely Soul 😆

[@generaseven]

@@craichead333 I like the guitar version of Rabbit... it adds some somber tones. I can't remember which mix it's on. I think it's on the UNKLE/ Scratch Perverts mix?

[@kidneystone1345]

this is more exciting than any Live concert ever, i don't know man, i don't find appealing hearing the same songs played along a lot of crowd noise. But this? this is perfect, it's a full experience
