I’m so out of the loop but I like to listen to this stuff at times. Last year I started getting into DJ mixes again and loved the stuff I got my hands on. So Obner is there any good DJ mixes that you have enjoyed in 2005? Doesn’t John Digweed have something new out? Some of my favorites from last year include Christopher Lawrence All Or Nothing, Sandra Collins Perfecto Presents… and some others.

np: 49’s vs. Raiders

Trance: L.S.G. The Lieb-meister still puts out the trance that shows how it's done.

IDM: The Rip-Off Artist -- quirky.

Matt Elliott -- sort of a genre of his own, "organica" -- electronica, but so well put together, it just flows. He put some D&B stuff out as Third Eye Foundation -- as good as it is (and I find it addictive like heroine), it doesn't compare to his solo output.

Not exactly name-drop worthy, but it's better than most of the other music that's out there. Which is more important?
