Best Essential Mix of '05? M.A.N.D.Y.

Radio One's Essential Mix is for me still very much an essential entity, particularly here in The States, where consistent exposure to forward-thinking dance music requires ongoing spelunking on the part of the listener. Still, I'll be the first two admit that the ol' EM occasionally finds the artist at their most lazy or inhibited, and the sets don't gel quite the way they would out at the club. Such is not the case with German duo M.A.N.D.Y.; they easily get my vote for best Essential Mix of the year. Remaining interesting and engaging in dance music is increasingly difficult, but Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung make it look easier than drinking a beer. Enjoy.
