sasha was amazing from start to finish.about as good as it gets.not one bad tune and what an ending.thought the swedes were ok.great energy but perhaps they chucked too much into it.i not keen on halliwells music but im sure if thats your taste he was good.great essential mix

pearse belfast

slick set by shm as expected
angus somtimes ibiza sometimes australia

The only highlight of this essential mix was THE SWEDES!. they were amazing. although their mix was based on all their own productions it worked really really well! last year the swedish influence wasn't as big as 2005. This year however they're ALL back with a bang. Going to see Axwell on saturday night, thanks to this mix im more more looking forward to it than ever!!
Max, Marbella, Spain

AMAAAAZING, this EM is just amazing and THE SWEDES rocked itcheers

Iain - ibiza

Sasha is seriously overrated. His set was both pretentious and boring.
James

Only had a chance to check out the Sasha part of this mix. Haven't heard any of his mixes for ages, he definitely is a very talented DJ. Lovely, trippy, epic building tracks. I've always rated Sasha and I wasn't disappointed, wonderful stuff, lovely sounds.
Alex James, Bromley, Kent.

Great!!Swedish house mafia are doing the best house music at the moment!!!Anyone found out whose remix of Samba De Janeiro that was???It sounds great!!!Thankss
Jorge, London

AMAZING MIX from my fav. DJ of all time....he has had his ups and downs....if keeps playing sets like this one!!!! WATCH OUT>.....much respect for the Fede Epis track BRASILIA!!!!! LOVE YA FEDE....

daniel rahme - Lincoln

Sasha was ridiculous! What a live set - that was pure groovin heaven. Thank you Radio 1!
psi-psi (South Africa)

I was there and it was unreal! sasha's set was very very good and well thought through. But I really didnt think much of the sweeds.. got boring without much change to it. But Halliwell... well!.. thats the best iv ever seen him play simply unbelievable!!
Paul, Brighton

awesome
ryan - cornwall

Word Up! Sasha still rules the decks, er, imac! Beautiful set by likely the world's greatest accoustical tactician.Thanks EMix - you are supreme radio - as is evident by the worldly listenership and superb cast of guest artists. Please, never relent.
Craig: Calgary, Canada

Sasha, sorry mate, you were rubish! Thankfully the player can skip 15 minutes at a time. The Swedish house mafia and Ediie Rocked (as usual) and saved this from being a boring EM.
Greg Wilkinson (San Diego, USA)

Sasha on top form there.Well done to Radio 1 for giving him 2 hours.
Doc. Cheshire

Sasha - what a ride! Bravo. I wasn't too impressed with the rest though....
Steve, L.A.

Sasha's mix was excellent well worth sittin 4!!!!
Aaron Buchanan

sasha was boring as hell, a shame considering he has given so many brilliant ibiza mixes in the past, I trully wanted his set to be good but it wasnt.
star scotland

THANKS RADIO 1! Mambo followed by Cream followed by we love on sunday morning. The swedes blew me away. too good for words
James Edwards London

Another Sasha masterclass/masterpiece! The "Swedes" as they are referred to are apparently dance music's hottest producers/djs but Sasha made them look embarrassingly ordinary & predictable at best. Sasha proves he is number 1 again! Exceptional mix!
Kris in Leamington spa, UK

What a brilliant mix, impressed by one and all!!
Ciaran in Wellingborough

Sasha rocks!
Chris - London

i luv bbc 1 essential mix and i'm putting ibiza on my immediate "to do" list !!i'm listening to sasha's set 'n luvin' it !

Nice to have Sasha back on the EM. Superb mixing as expect by the one true master.Hope to see Digweed and Nick Warren on the EM soon.
Stephen, Ayrshire, Scotland

Sasha - superb!
Rich, UK

eddie halliwell shouldn't be finishing off nights anymore, this track selection is something a warm up dj would do. He used to be good.
matt g blackpool

Barry, Belfast

One word to describe Sasha - Genius. A set of the highest quality. Shame about the other nonsense we had to endure.
Din, Perth

jimmy, Harrogate.

tone, west oz

I think i have found some new swedish gods, those guys went off!!!! The mixing and tracklist is incredible, pure genius. Does anyone know where to get some of their stuff, cause it's very hard to come by on the net? Essential mix kicked ass once again!
neil, melbourne

Martin Scotland

Hmm frankly any DJ next up after Sasha has got their work cut out. Quite simply a great mix. I guess it will be ages until Sasha is next on the Essential Mix :-(
Tim, London

Smashing set...Sasha never fails to amaze me, he always leaves me wanting more!
Mark - Cd.Juarez, Mexico

Good Federico Epis & Perfect Sasha!
Hakan Akcan

no one compares to Sasha. This guy has ultimate class. tough for the swedes to compare...
e - london

What else can you say about Sasha... While the remaining 'original' DJ's begin to sound washed up - The Man continues to deliver time and time again.
James Bernthal, Welshman in New York

Awesome mix, Sasha seems to be on top form at the moment with an amazing 2 hour set to start it off. The swedish House mafia were awesome and finish with Eddie! Very nice essential mix.
Graham, Brighton

correctionFederico Epis - Brasilia (Pure Substance)
david, usa

Jesus, how good was Sasha !!! What a man, he always pulls them, quite literally out the bag, how does he always manage to find those records, a turntable magician !!!
Rob C Kent

gerry power-county meath ireland

Sasha is the man ! Awesome Mix, quality ! Amazing music
Amber Smith

I had gotten sick from some food poisoning and was on the crapper all day! But I could hear the mix from my bedroom and was bouncing on the toilet seat!Well done!
Jess from San Francisco

well, Sasha can pipe down these days. This really was about the Swedes and Evil Eddie Halliwell. The swedes selection was impeccable, and Halliwell topped the set of perfectly. Halliwell is technically superb. Thoroughly enjoyable and a definate contender for EM of the year.
bud, peterborough

Well what can I say! Sasha proves that he is in a league of his own once again!That C.O.M.A track is awesome
Pete (Mansfield)

Marcus Schossow - Hypnotizer (Oxygen) MArcus Schossow & Thomas Sagstad - Hypnotizer is the right id for this one... 2 new hot Swedes comming thrue! ..
Sven / Sweden

Amazing sessions by Axwell, Ingrosso & Angello...respectmay the force be with U
Nippo, Manigod, France

what an amazing mix, sasha's set was the best iv heard in ages!! welcomed return back to cream!
Lee, Leicester

sasha has been 1 of my favourite djs since hearing him in 1992, still 15 years on he is 1 of the best dj's in the world without a doubt, never pinned down 2 playing 1 style of music, his edits and musical creations are untouchable - hail the king of progressive .... top mix
pgtrips, east anglia, england

Judge jules is a good dj who plays intresting tunes Like the set last night at judgment sunday great way to finish the ibiza special cannot wait for next year in ibiza please lets finish next year in ibiza with we love sunday at space.
scott liverpool

amazing sasha mx. but why is the tracklist unavailable.
Max Berlin

Sasha bored the pants of me with his 1994 trance rubbish!!!!About time he got a new sound isn’t!
luke london

Sasha for me, without question is one of the finest DJs in the world - this set is pure perfection. I'm afraid the other tosh on tonight - mainly the inexplicably s**** 'Geri Halliwell' do not even come close to putting together a set of such quality & precision. Big room tunes for the masses I'm afraid. Sasha's presence alone when you see him take his place in the booth brings about more of a vibe than the other junk DJ's I've heard over the weekend - in particular Halliwell & the equally talentless sack of crap Judge Jules. A spot on set by one of the worlds most outstanding DJ's. Its just a shame Sasha had to share the night with the rest of those Super Mario DJ's.
Dan Shaw, Northampton

Fab mix from Sasha here - nice to hear him pump out an energetic, quality mix. Thankyou!
Matt, Brighton

Superb!!! Sasha has done it again, best EM for 2007
