The role of the DJ has been fundamental in this genre and they've even been influential in inspiring genres themselves.

Give your 10 essential (excuse the Tong) mix/compilation albums?
Commercial release mixes only no radio or obscure bootlegs!


Global Underground San Fransisco - Sasha - Prog trance didn't get better than this.
World Service - Dave Clarke - Tight techno excellence.
Excess Luggage - Laurent Garnier - The showcase of Laurent's diverse styles and masterful mixing.
Logical Progression - LTJ Bukham - The first and still the best Good Lookin' progressive/ambient Drum 'n Bass compilation.
70 Minutes of Madness - Coldcut - 35 tracks in 70 mins!!!!
Textures - Darren Emerson/Alex Paterson - The best of the classic Trace Europe Express albums mixed by The Orb.
Innovation in the Dynamics of Acid - Universal Indicator - Dirty AFX acid techno.
Mixmag Live 9 - AlexPaterson/Mixmaster Morris - Morris' mix is a perfect example of post dance ambient.
Liquid Room Tokyo - Jeff Mils - The man from Detroit keeping it dark and deadly the way he does best.
DE9 Transitions - Richie Hawtin - The other man from Detroit innovating digital mixing and pushing the boundary's.

Paul Van Dyk..Politics of Dancing 2..it's the only DJ mix I own.

I don't have many of these CDs, but as far as more recent stuff goes, Richie Hawtin's DE9 mixes would have to be right up there.

Strange that you bothered to reply to this topic!
