The singer has become a deejay

Every Thursday I look back to the past

Happy new year!

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Essential Mix by 2manydjs that was broadcasted on BBC Radio 1, on January 2nd, 2005.

The Essential Mix is “The world’s biggest DJs on the world’s biggest decks”, according to the BBC. So it’s quite a big deal for any dj to do an Essential Mix, especially the first one of the year.

The friends of the Get Off The Speakers youtube channel have conveniently uploaded the mix today for you to enjoy.

Or you can listen to it on Soundcloud as well:
