Stop 9.5 was such an incredible track.

I went to see Tiesto a couple or three years back, and he played a lot of electro/modern progressive house type stuff. A lot of stuff from the Kaleidoscope album that he was promoting at the time. He did drop in a lot of classics though, old stuff to like Silence and Flight 643 (he actually played the windsider bootleg version). Thing is I never heard Suburban Tram, which was probably one of his biggest early tracks. Not sure if he's forgotten about it or something, It would of fitted in with the other early stuff he was playing.

I thought they were 'steam cleaning the vaults siirrr'!

I'm waiting for the one that's selling viagra, and wants my bank account details. You can always trust those.

I think that electro Guetta tripe has run it's course, you can tell with the emergence of the deep/jackin' house sound that it's on borrowed time here. In this set the tracks he played weren't too bad. But this was over 4 years ago now, I wouldn't imagine his recent sets would be as good. I did hear about that trance thing, there were rumors he may be collaborating with Push.

I think the Kaiser Chiefs' 'everyday I love you less and less' works well at weddings.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was at this, right at the front. I discovered the recording I grabbed from Sky + on an old harddrive when it went out (same as those Paul Kershaw shows), I was working the Friday after so it was heartbreaking to hear where I was 7 days before in the car! The reaction was amazing when he dropped Delerium, I remember knowing what it was just when it started to trickle into the mix. It took another minute for the rest to realise it was Silence (hence why you hear the crowd scream when the vocal comes in), I remember informing my cousin who was with me that a classic was mixing in. But yeah, we were all battered. But for some reason didn't sound as good as when Jules dropped it at Creamfields 2000, he gets a reaction too when it comes in on that show (shame Newsbeat's footy report cuts through it). Jules seemed to pitch it up back then too. Tiesto's a long way from this now sadly, at least in 2009 he still treated trance as part of his set.

Chicane Feat. Bryan Adams - Don't Give Up Tomcraft - Lonliness Lucid - I Can't Help Myself (Those two drop well if you mix the start of Lucid over the vocal of Tomcraft, extended mixes...) William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings Armand Van Helden - You Don't Know Me Armand Van Helden - I Want Your Soul Armand Van Helden - My My My Madison Avenue - Don't Call Me Baby Modjo - Lady Supermen Lovers - Starlight Chris Lake - Changes Room 5 - Make Luv Solu Music Feat. Kimblee - Fade (Bimbo Jones Mix) Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme Shakedown - At Night (Kid Creme Remix ain't bad either) M&S Pres. Girl Next Door - Salsoul Nugget Stardust - Music Sounds Better (Or the Spacedust bootleg if you want a 130 bpm stronger version) Snap Vs Plaything - Do You See The Light Starchaser - Love Will Set You Free Rui Da Silva - Touch Me Rhythm Masters - The Underground (Phunk Investigation Remix) Riva - Stringer (up to you if you play the original or the cheesy vocal one) Ida Corr Vs Fedde Le Grande - Let Me Think About It Dave Spoon - At Night I guess if there are 20+ year olds in there you could go up to 2008/9 way, can't really think of any big lasting dance tracks from around then though. I'll suggest more if any come to mind. Maybe have a gander through Dave Pearce's old tracklistings archive, I actually find a few forgotten gems in there. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/davepearce/tracklistings.shtml

I'll have to have a look. I'll probably just stick them online in their entirety at some point when I have some time.

I assume if he still is playing out or even DJ'ing in some capacity that he isn't doing trance anymore. Was a really good show, always sounded as he put 110% in every week.

I remember listening live and the emergency dat kicking in on this. Track 2 is Sucker DJ's vs Eric Prydz - Gotta Be Slammin'. Picked this up from Hard to Find records a few years ago:- http://www.discogs.com/Sucker-DJs-Its-Gotta-Be-Slammin/release/694868

Does anyone here remember him? Whatever happened to him? I found a few of his solid state shows from 2005 on an old harddrive, he used to present them on Saturday night back when Capital was Galaxy FM. I never caught much of his show after Jules moved to 7-9 on Saturdays, but it was always a good show. I'm sure he used to go under the alias 'Atlantis' for a few productions if I'm not mistaken.

Somewhat related. Sad to hear Andi Durrant seemingly being pushed out of Crapital, his was about the only decent dance show on mainstream Radio for me (around here at least). Loved the way he gave the nod to the old classic from time to time, I remember him playing Hands Burn - Good Shot late last year on my way home from Birmingham. He's been replaced by a playlist based show and Craig David... radio really is dying.

Let's hope he does arrange something like that before he hangs up the headphones for good. This E-Mix would have been the perfect opportunity. That would be good to hear. If he does ever do it, I can imagine it being in the very last year maybe even weeks before he finishes.

I still can't figure how Annie Mac has taken Radio 1's flagship dance show and ends up playing R&B on it. Andi Durrant is now leaving Capital after a disagreement with management there it seems, they are too obsessed about who Harry Styles is dating there as well. Massive loss to them, as I don't think they actually have anyone now who covers what he did.

All in all, I really think this could be his last ever appearance on Radio 1 considering he's finishing in under 4 years if he sticks to his plan. It could of been the final essential mix to span his Radio 1 career like everyone was looking for about the time he left, this time around you have to admit the entire choice and style of tracks was probably Jules' decision alone. I don't think Radio 1 management interfere with one off essential mixes. I didn't think it was all that bad to be fair, and he didn't totally ignore the classics which is a good thing. Anyway I think he'll stick with this style to the end, even if UK Garage/Deep House/Bass will take over from EDM or not. I don't think he'll be DJ'ing either way when it's in full swing.

Since Radio 1 pick the B list celeb now and again to drop in, I thought it was Jamelia the singer when I first read her name in the press release. Should of put my glasses on, Doh!

Radio 1 always had those type of celeb obsessed presenters, but they always countered that with Mark & Lard, Moyles, Simon Mayo etc. Who did talk about things in the papers but had more to their persona. There isn't one presenter on daytime now that isn't foaming at the mouth when they are talking about Union J. Amazingly I think Sara Cox is probably at her best now and they are pushing her out, I find her more bearable than the others. I guess employing Kelly Osbourne at one point proved everything what Radio 1 are about nowdays. Eventually I think the Americans will get bored of the EDM sound and go back listening to Ja Rule or whatever they did 10 years ago. It just seems like a fad to them or the 'in thing', they don't seem to embrace it in the same way like clubbers over here have done even as far back as the Northern Soul days in the 1970's. In some ways I'd like the Dirtybird type sound that Tong plays to take over, with a re-emergence of UK Garage too. There are already commercial strains of it this year with Disclosure and MK seems to have come back a storm since the 1990's, remixing everything. But on the other hand I'd like it to stay as it is now and keep it to ourselves.

But I'm 25 and have felt that Radio 1 in general has been mostly crap for well over 5 years now. Celebrity obsessed, self important DJ's seem to fill the air. Love or hate Moyles he was the last one who had any form of creativity, may as well listen to Capital and hear them talk about who One Direction are dating. The specialist shows used to make up for that but even they are losing their quality now. I can't find any stations that play a mix of new and old dance music. Ministry of Sound Radio used to be decent a few years back, but it's all Avicii nowdays. I'd say the only good strain in modern dance music I can find now is what the likes of Shadow Child, Foamo, Claude Von Stroke, Zinc etc are doing. At least it's a breakaway.

Jules will never come back to Radio 1 as he won't be DJ'ing for much longer anyway. The likes of him, Tong, Pearce, Seb Fontaine etc had the glory days. Makes me realize when I hear that intro on his essential mix the other night, you'll never hear Annie Mac or Danny Howard come live from Creamfields like that infront of all those people. They just don't have the same status as he did. It's the same as daytimes for Radio 1. You could bring back Mark & Lard and they would be far more entertaining than anyone who's on right now. But the managment are in the frame of mind that if your over 30 nobody wants to know. This is why Radio 1 are being eaten alive by Radio 2, and this is why years down the line Radio 1 will be sold off by the BBC.

The intro at the start of this bought back some memories, bit of creamfields live.

Quite liked The Raven Maize track even though it got played a fair bit back then, forgot about that one for a couple or three years. Used to pitch it up to about +4, dj's don't seem to do that much unless they have the tempo lock on nowdays. Never liked the one that followed, 'Fascinated' wasn't it?

I recall reading something about that. Unless Jules used Serato or Traktor to make playlists of classics, and took that everywhere he went. Then I can't see him keeping an organised archive of the old stuff. He still uses cd's doesn't he?

Would like him to just randomly throw something like Playa Sol in there or Join Me To The Moon, but his copy's of those must be long gone. Fortunately I could provide a digital alternative if he needed it! :mrgreen:

Cheers for these, should be a great listen. I remember Galaxy 102.2 doing something from gatecrasher in 2001 or 2 I think, if I recall Andi Durrant was presenting. I also rememberd hearing Carte Blanche Veracocha, think it was being re-released in some form at the time.
