With the DJ AM Lives Mixcloud page now fully crackin' with 34(!) mixes (and counting) legally up & available to stream, it's time to start hearing what some of your favorites are... I'll kick it off with mine.
My personal favorites are...
On the random music tip it's Old Navy Part 1 & Nous Modeling Agency Party because they are both really close to Elton mixes in terms of selection and style. Old Navy Part 1 also has the most classic rock of any of the AM mixes.
On the party side of things, the Power 106 mix will always rank at the top for me because I was there that day at the station & afterwards to see how it meant so much to DJ culture and how the recording of it inspired so many DJ's to be more open with their music selection. I've told the Power 106 story before (and in the documentary as well) and I may just post it again up on the DJ AM Lives blog soon for those that don't know it. Anyway, the Power 106 mix was a monumental moment in the mid-00s in terms of reach & effect on the DJ world. Honorable mentions go to the Live at Aura mix & Moomba Part 2 (because it was pre-serato, all vinyl and has a lot of the seeds of what made AM so great as a DJ).
