I have a feeling that those were best times ....

Still hands down one of the best essential mixes of all time

Paul Oakenfold's Goa Mix was aired at the end of December 2013 as part of the BBC's 20 years of the Essential Mix celebrations.

Paul Oakenfold - Radio 1 Essential Mix - The Goa Mix - 28-12-2013

Close between Oakenfold's Goa Mix in 1994 & this, but this is genius for what they did with it.

For us the shining light at the top of The Big Artists in this scene.

Enjoy & listen to the words said by the people just as much as the music because if anything its even more relevant to us now than back in 2004!

Update April 6 2024 - I would like to say a special huge thank you to Coasterfreak (@coasterfr), thanks to whom the account is paid for again and fully functional.

If you have a request, please contact me here in PM.

I don't expect you to know me
Or how I lost all my dreams
When I can't even find myself
In the choices I made

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
