i've decided to start posting up new dj mixsets from some of my favorite dj/producers. since i hardly get around to posting any real content on here maybe this could suffice until that time comes. the links i provide to said mixes will most likely always come from free webhosting. this is'nt a bad thing really, you just may have to click around a bit, or even enter a captcha text phrase in order to reveal the actual download link to the file. i'm in the process of evaluating which free file host site is the best for my (and essentially your) needs. once i settle on one, the links i post will be more consistent and hopefully less of a hassle to navigate to the actual file itself. with that said, here are three brand spankin new sets which have seen much play on my ipod:

• calvin harris - essential mix 10/18/08

you may have heard some of calvin's tunes off of his latest album entitled 'i created disco'. if you've ever checked out my last.fm page you can see that i've played the hell out of that album - it's actually really good. i wasn't aware that calvin was also a dj, so this new mix on essential mix radio was a very pleasant suprise. enjoy.

• lifted music podcast 12 - hosted by chris renegade and spor

this was another unexpected treat that just hit the net. if you're looking to get your drum and bass fix of new and upcoming tracks this is one is for you.

• richie hawtin - fireside chat 10/16/08

it's no surprise that richie hawtin is one of my favorite producers, so this one has seen more play than the rest for me. this one is also very unique since it's not really a dj mix but rather a playlist of epic tracks mostly from the days when he went under the moniker - plastikman. this is my first discovery of fireside chat and i was pleased to find out that not only do you get to hear tunes but also commentary from the producer as well. check this one out for sure.
