First up this week is my favourite DJ of 2009... Kissy Sell Out. In my opinion no DJ in the world (I know, a bit of a bold claim) is able to fuse together such a melting pot of sounds, with such fine attention to detail.
If there is anyone in the DJ game that truly works for his salary its this Essex man. You'll never see him standing still or with his 'hands in the air' for more than half a second during on of his sets. Constantly flipping the sound and changing the beat.
He quickly rose up the ranks during 06'/07' and was offered an In New DJs We Trust spot on Radio 1, and then the same year was asked to pioneer his own show.
He's drawn some criticism in the past for his style of 'pre-warping' tunes to the same tempo before his sets, but as you'll soon see from this Essential Mix, those questions are soon blown out of the window, by the sheer intensity of his shows. An essential mix comprising of 55 tunes in 60 minutes, mixed by ear on CDJs with plenty of his own edits, mashups and dancefloor friendly specials.
Personally I admire DJs who push the boundaries of what should be technically possible for a human to be able to do with decks and a mixer... Kissy is certainly no exception and I've yet to find another DJ whose willing to play Beethoven, REM, Daft Punk and Jack Beats in the same one hour set, yet still make it danceable and fun.

Next up is for me one of London's most underrated DJs in Not Shy. He's been running the iconic This Is Not A Rave @ the Horse & Groom in Shoreditch for the last couple of years, which I was recently invited down to play at, and he also regularly graces the decks at Egg. A merging style of booty techno and feel good house, with a technical ability and crowd reading mind, many would be jealous of.
Grab his latest mix below and catch his array of other fine selections on his Soundcloud.

The last mix is one Ben suggested... I've been listening all day... a fine, fine mix from probably the biggest band in the world right now. The multi talents of James Smith know no boundaries. A beautiful mix of atmospheric sounds, with light lavishing of 2step and one top drum solo.
He's making me feel a bit useless about my current DJ'ing hobby, when it's just something on the side for him to do for fun.
