There are a shedload of DJs out there, but not every selector is putting together immaculate mixes. Keeping a party hype and putting your particular sound on a pedastal are two different things. And while a DJ's job is to ultimately keep bodies moving, DAD loves it when a DJ goes above and beyond, really showing why they deserve a seat at the table. 2013 had it's share of impressive mixes, and outside of the festival circuit, we were treated to a bevy of bombastic sets. Today we highlight the mixes that not only got the most replays, but helped illuminate a) why the DJ on the decks was important and b) showcased a knack for putting captivating sounds together. The more intriguing, the better. Here are the best mixes from 2013.

Alix Perez - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

With Alix Perez' Chroma Chords taking his sound into more non-drum & bass circles, it's great to show the world that not only is he a fascinating dnb DJ, but he can incorporate his influences in hip-hop and the numerous facets of bass music in the mix as well as he does in his own original production.

If you heard the hype about DJ Rashad, or the Chicago footwork scene in general, and wanted an introductory mix, you'd play yourself if you didn't add this to your rotation. Rashad and Spinn put on for their genre, using this mix to not only serve as a teaser for Rashad's magnificent Double Cup (featuring six track from the album), but putting on their homies like DJ Earl, RP Boo, Heavee D, and Taso.

Flosstradamus - BANNED 2

Not Available Interstitial

Forget for a moment that this mix was released via torrent; Flosstradamus put together a strong 33:56 mix, with A$AP Rocky's "modern-day underground" commentary laying the basis for how they approached the selection and vibe for this mix. Some of the biggest names in the EDM scene were featured (including Baauer, Carnage, and DJ Snake) alongside Hucci and Alex Young, and the blends of material from Gucci Mane and Danny Brown really kept to their hip-hop roots. Strong, strong outing.

Tracklist:

Mala - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

Not Available Interstitial

DMZ's own Mala, one of the true innovators in the dubstep scene, stepped up to the Essential Mix for his first solo set, dropping an influence-heavy mix of legendary proportions. He went ham, spending 'nuff time digging through influential dub and roots music before coasting through some of dubstep's finer points. Ending the set with James Blake's Harmonimix of "Changes" was a thing of beauty, especially since it was released soon some time after. Man a legend, seen?

RL Grime - Triple J Exclusives Mix

Not Available Interstitial

RL Grime (aka Clockwork) has been building a solid base over the last year, it's awesome to hear him drop a mix that is atypical to what he normally drops, branching out from the trap scene and incorporating a number of dope sounds to his repetoire. From start to finish, this one is a keeper.

Tracklist:

1. Arkist - Rendezvous

2. Canblaster - Triple Ring

Eric Prydz - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

Not Available Interstitial

For two hours in 2013, Eric Prydz owned the EDM scene, and this is the mix that he used to captivate the collective. With a host of IDs, unreleased bits, and forthcoming material from himself and his Friends, Pryda stepped up to the Essential Mix plate and knocked it clear out of the park. The buzz on Twitter during this set alone counts it as one of the top sets from the year, and the enriching material he mixed kept us coming back to it.

Tracklist:

1. Pryda - Liam

2. Not Mani - Need You

3. Tonja Holma - Spanish Delight

4. Christopher Kah - Evolution 909 (Magnus Froblom Remix)

Lunice - Daily Dose Mix

Not Available Interstitial

Back in January, Lunice kicked off LuckyMe's Daily Dose residency with what felt like a continuation of TNGHT's Mission Statement, further highlighting that gray area between hip-hop, dance music, and whatever else lies within that space. Drawing equal amounts of influence from the music of Future as he does from someone like Buku, Lunice stayed perfectly in that middle ground, feeding the masses the sounds that helped drive the trap scene to the forefront...even if he hates being associated with that term.

Tracklist:

Kanye West – Say You Will

Travi$ Scott – Old English

Lunice – Superman OG

A$AP Rocky – PMW

High Klassified – London Flexin

Future – Turn On The Lights

Tommy Kruise – Highklass

Juicy J – Bands (feat. Rick Ross & Slab)

Kanye West – Clique (TNGHT Edit) (feat. Big Sean & Jay Z)

Traxman - FADER Mix

Not Available Interstitial

In 2013, Traxman dropped an underrated album and numerous EPs, yet he saved the best for last, as his late November set for FADER highlighted not only a number of his released tunes, but tracks that sampled everything from beatboxers to Chappelle's Show. His knack for crafting quality sample material was highlighted, and it's amazing that every single track in this set is something from his studio. If Rashad is the soul of the footwork scene right now, Traxman is the envelope-pushing innovator.

Tracklist:

Traxman – Buddha Muzic [Lit City Trax]

Traxman – Year 2013

Traxman – This Shit Go Hard [Lit City Trax]

Madeon - Triple J Mix

Not Available Interstitial

There's something about Madeon's live sets that make you forget everything, from his age to the fact that we're not receiving nearly enough music from hm. For this 33 minute Triple J live set, Madeon highlighted why so many heads worldwide love what he does live: he took what excites him in the EDM scene and puts it out there in a flawless set. Simple as that. Frome electro house to disco, Madeon keeps you energized throughout this set.

Stray - Exit Records x Matchsticks EP Promo Mix

Not Available Interstitial

Stupendous mixes being used as promotional tools for forthcoming releases are pretty standard. None are as forward-thinking as this set. To hype his Exit Records EP, Matchsticks, Stray set out to connect multiple dots via two turntables. Not too many DJs from the jungle/drum & bass realm are occupying that space where downtempo, Chance the Rapper, DJ Earl, Machinedrum, and Mr. Carmack reside, but somehow Stray turned their true school takes on "good music" and found the proper strands, turning their diverse vibes into a beautiful quilt. Bass-fueled, this mix is a keeper.

Tracklist:

Chance The Rapper - Acid Rain (N/A)

Rigglebeats - Doves (N/A)

Sam Binga ft. Redders - Leftem (Critical Music)

Stray - Matchsticks (Exit Records)

Skrillex - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix

Not Available Interstitial

Call it Boys Noize's influence. Call it people finally respecting what Skrillex can do. Whatever you want to title this, you have to make sure you call this the most listened-to Essential Mix in the show's history, and for good reason. Skrillex made sure his two-hour set was a proper look at what's moved him as of late, blending cuts from new school producers alongside vibes that were piquing his interest. It's not stereotypical "Skrillex," which is key in understanding how important he is to today's dance music scene. Dude's got an ear.

2. Knife Party – Power Glove

3. Torro Torro x Astronomar – Go Deep

DJ Oneman - Solitaire, Vol. 1

Not Available Interstitial

The blend of hip-hop and bass music has been perfected, and Oneman is the guy who took his UK vision of how these two sectors fit and ran with it. His first Solitaire mix finds ways to transition from Machinedrum to Katie Got Bandz, Mala and SpaceGhostPurrp, taking a page from Danny Brown's book and properly blending the sounds into something that could (should!) bridge gaps and unite nations. Assuming they're awake, that is...

Tracklist:

Bones Thugs & Harmony - Thuggish Ruggish (Acapella)

Fatima Al-Qadiri - Hydra

Cliques - AUT

Guy Andrews - Hands In Mine

RP Boo - FACT Mix

Not Available Interstitial

RP Boo is a pioneer in the footwork scene. You love Rashad and Traxman, you have to acknowledge Boo's contributions to the scene. Oddly enough, he didn't get any proper releases for his material until 2013, when Planet Mu released Legacy, and to hype that project, Boo put out a massive mix for FACT. The mix clocks in at Just over 41 minutes, and out of that time, only three of the set's tracks are not produced by RP Boo. Even more insane is that the majority of the tunes can't be found on Legacy... or anywhere else. That's right, a proper set of footwork dubplates from the man who made the scene what it is. It has its quirks, but digging into this mix, you have to realize how impactful Boo's been to the footwork genre as a whole. Respect.

Tracklist:

DJ Rashad – Spotti

RP Boo – Super Bust

DJ Spinn & DJ Rashad – 3’4Da 10

RP Boo – Heat From Us

RP Boo – No Worst

RP Boo – Oldlyvicious

RP Boo – Top Hole

RP Boo – Ike&Tina

RP Boo – Bow-Oh

RP Boo – Juke Squad

Dieselboy - Beyond the Black Bassline

Not Available Interstitial

Dieselboy will keep crowds rocking the world over, then get into his home studio and crafted a properly-themed mix that will blow the socks off of practically everything else out there. His NEST-presented "Beyond the Black Bassline" found the dnb assassin not being concerned with dubplates; he made sure that he assembled the best batch of tunes, giving those who might not be as in tune to the dnb scene a chance to catch up, while at the same time goign a bit out of the sound he's normally associated with, just bringing the best representation of what's vital in today's scene to the forefront. What we're left with is a captivating set that has no problem making us go ham. Good show, Dieselboy.
