I’ve wanted to record all my favourite music as one big mix for a while.
I considered doing different genres mixes but thought that was a bit limited and realised it has also been done millions of times before.
Anyone familiar with the Avalanches, 2manydjs(soul wax), Krafty Kuts or some of the great Hip hop Djs of our time will appreciate the benefits that come from a choppier approach to djing.

This mix is simply my top 100 pieces of Music that mattered to me during my lifetime up until present day .
The problem with doing a 100 track mix is time. Most Djs will play a tune or song for 3 - 6 minutes on average depending on their style. A 300 minute mix is obviously not an option, as nobody would likely give 5 hours of their time to listen to a mix! 
I thought it would be challenging to mix 100 tunes into 100 minutes of set time. A track a minute is hard to do, especially when playing a lot or different genres.I had to edit and remix 73 of the tracks I’ve used so they would all fit into the mix. Organising the order was extremely time consuming. 
Like any DJ set, I wanted to blend it as best I could and keep it as melodic as possible.
I produced my own intro, then started off with quite nostalgic and explosive stuff.
I used a lot of breaks and hip hop during this section, before picking it up a bit with some more contemporary stuff influenced by Summer and some progressive trancier stuff.
The mid section of my mix is all about melody and I really tried to produce something truly emotive. While I was making this mix, I was told some sad news and tracks 39 - 43 are inspired by that.
The second half of the mix is one big crescendo really, full of big tracks from the main rooms of the greatest clubs during the last 20 years.
Then of course, it all goes rocky for the final fifth.
I managed to get the mix in under 100 minutes, and stuck a bonus track on the end. Its my all time favourite song.
Only a few artists featured more than once, and unfortunately there were a few tracks I simply couldn’t fit into the mix for production reasons. Most notably, Bleekers - Long way Down, James’ - Getting away with it and The Clash - Rock the Casbah all fell victim to not fitting. There were dozens more!
I hope you all enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making.

If you can do better, dae it!
