Your reviews of the mix
Double A Ron, Sheffield
Big Steel City Tings! Thats how we do!
Goughie, Bath
Awesome essential mix; nothing wrong with playing tunes that you don't normally play, is a lesson in where Toddla T comes from and what his music is all about. Loving it, especially the garage section!
Ian Merchant, Dorset
Toddla is tha man - I love him!!!!
Alx Calgary, Canada
some of that rap is horrific. turned it off. looking forward to Lawler.
Nav - Manchester
Individual sound and an eclectic taste indeed...different is good!
Adam/ LITHUANIA
Its the greatest radio station in the world! The best greetings from Lithuania!!
Alex Northampton
Gotta Love the Teezy!Awesome producer, great eclectic taste in tracks as well!All those americans questioning why it isn't just legends playing Essential Mix anymore...just you wait :)
L@rGeY, Manchester
Phil in Toronto... You have got some pretty fine wedding DJs inhabiting Canada if they could pull this off!What's wrong with a DJ being a bit leftfield, a bit nostalgic about their sound evolution and all mashed-up?The standards of the Essential Mix aren't slipping, they're just as fine and eclectic as they've always been. Did you hear last week's awesome Sub Focus DnB mix?? - about as upfront and cutting edge as could be.That's the beauty of this incredible creation. Different every week and music for all dance-genred tastes.Love it...
Lynsey, Glasgow
Competent wedding DJ? Please! Toddla is bad! Felt the pace really picked up in the second half; I loved this and really loved the trip through genres feel.Folk should ake sure to check out his Ghettoblaster mixtape which you can download from his MySpace.
Disco Dave, Inverness
Carly Simon - Why?Disco and Paradise Garage classic!!!! :)
neil, melbourne
This is an incredible set. absolutely seamless and full of classics and party anthems. I love it, this has to be a new contented for EM of the year. If only we could enjoy this for more than 7 days.
Jay Hawkins
Toddla T has done the Essential mix justice, what a collective mix of Genre's who couldn't find something they liked in that mix! AWSOME!
Phil, Toronto
This was a set I'd expect any competent wedding DJ to pull off. The Essential Mix is slipping from near mythical status to becoming an embarrassment.
djjc Thailand
Anytime a DJ states he is playing tunes he doesn;t normally play, I turn off. Why not showcase what you DO play ? Waste of time.
AJ - Antibes

Wow, Not what i was expecting this week. I enjoyed some of the tracks. Not a big rap fan but i found myself bobing my head to the great beats this DJ had. PS: La Roux - In For the Kill should be added to the track list.
