Early Christmas Present! ;D
For 2020, this is a great Xmas present from Tom and Ed.
Let the speculation of new tracks begin!
Yes! Anyone have any ideas on how to download this?
EDIT: I got it. It's a 70 MB, 160 kbps, MP3 file. PM me if you want a link.
ugh this is _exactly_ what i need
Haven't heard it yet, any new tracks, or demos?
How long is it?

I'm waiting to listen at home, in peace, and not at work.
It's 1:00:11.

Hi, I am new to the site and just tried to PM you on here, but I don't think it worked. Anyway, would you mind sending it to me? Thank you so much in advance!
Not Another Drugstore FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's frustrating that shazaming tracks that I like 4 times in a row will give 4 different results... Might be an indication of new Chems stuff, though ?
Shazamed 3 tracks so far, 4 times each, got 12 different results. Only one rightful match :

Great Mix!
For those who hoped for new material, I didn't spot anything that sounded like unreleased Chemical stuff.

Not even some Clapham Drum Ensemble?
Not exactly the Essential Mix, is it?
Feels like a quirky little mess-around-at-home mix rather than something the Chems would present at say, Nuits Sonores.
Nontheless there are some interesting tracks here, albeit no new Chemical tunes.
So far, as a tracklist I have:
Sault: I just want to dance.
Client03: Wavefile dayjob
Swordman Kitala & OFlynn & Ekhe: Heat Flexx
Time Zone: The Wild Style
Maxime Alexander: Take My Hands (nice chunk of acid)
X2: Time Elevation Rhythm (I think Ed played this on his Instagram a while ago)
Damon Bell: Wha Gwan!!
James Welsh: Sink
I posted a couple of James Welsh tracks on the now playing thread back in 2019 (reply 1114) (https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,60.1100.html)
Eartheater: Inclined
JP Montesino: Viaje Numero Uno (we've had this one before, haven't we?)
Chems: Not Another Drugstore
Criminal Element Orchestra - Put the needle to the record
Phase II - Reachin
thanks for putting together a tracklist. it really is just a fun little mix, right?

What an extremely ungenerous comment this is. It's not exactly easy for the two of us to work together at the moment given the ever changing lockdown situation, but we put a lot of care and attention into preparing this mix to provide some kind of entertainment for people, also to support other artists. We have been working on new music as well, but this is what was ready to be shared. I must say it's a little dispiriting to read it being dismissed on your own forum, but guess that's the internet.
Ed
cheers to Ed coming round. sad that it's for a reason
Rrrr, and I gave it a like because I was grateful for Wolkenkrabber's providing a tracklist and didn't even notice his tiny slight.
See what you've done, Wolkenkrabber! >:(
Hope you noticed the other mostly positive receptions, though. And in Wolkenkrabber's defense, I'd say he, like so many of us, is always just excited to hear new material. And for years, this has been a great Where's-the-Chems-Waldo type of guessing game whenever you guys drop mixes.
Thanks for stopping by and for the mix, Ed. Wish you all the best for next year and, please, stay healthy!
LOL
Wolkenkrabber! What have you done!!!
But seriously, Ed. Cut the guy some slack. It's just an opinion and the dude puts in his time on this forum. No need to light up one of your more admiring fans. A little johnny come lately of you...
Also, if this is the ice breaker on joining the new(-er) forum, I hope to see you around more often. And if you need someone to pick on, I'll take one for the team and you can bag on me.
Finally, since it's a relatively hot topic and I would like to know... what is your favorite Bond theme?

Uh oh!! :o TBH i didn't think of it as ungenerous or a "slight". My primary aim was to ID some tracks (because yes, the artists should be highlighted - can you help Ed?). I offered a personal opinion on the kind of mix it is (to my ears).
As far as I'm aware, once something gets put out into the world, the audience forms their opinion on that, be it good, bad or ugly. It's actually not just "the internet", I'm a fan since "Siren" appeared on a JBO comp in 1994. I've bought all the records and have seen the Chems live on a number of occasions.
I wanted to ID the tracks because, as usual, I'm interested when a new Chems mix appears, Y'know, like a fan would be!
If you're reading this Ed, then my note that you played X2: Time Elevation on your insta a while ago might be a clue that I pay attention. I also enjoyed the Maxime Alexander track, hence my "nice chunk of acid" comment.
Feel free to fill us in on any of the tracks we haven't ID'd yet (because yes, we're interested!), And try not to be offended by my "audience opinion". I still don't think it's exactly The Essential Mix (the ones you've done for Radio 1), but that doesn't mean I don't think it has merit!
PS: the track 45 mins into the 2019 Essential Mix was listed as "Unknown". It had marimba or xylophone sounds on it. Can you please tell us about it? And maybe PM the Chems DJ edit of New Order's Fine Time to me? (Like you, I'm also a huge NO fan) Thanks! ;D
I'm just glad this mix is here to get me out of my "Dad Bod Distress" phase in life
The Brothers Gonna (Help Me) Work (it) out
No! You've turned the page on the thread.
Ed Simons, please go back and read my response to you at the bottom of page 1!
It's been a while, but time to blow the dust off on this one, wolkenkrabber

honestly, it's been a while since Tom and Ed have taken the piss out on a forum member. Back in my day, I remember this being at least a biannual occurence .

Ah yes, the good ol' days of Milco2forum dropping in on snarky posts.

For what it's worth, I'm really enjoying the mix.
Did Meerkat ever do that, too?
hey, who was the lucky guy who got curb-stomped for questioning the validity of Ed's participation while DJing?
That was classic
Meerkat was a lover, not a fighter... if I recall
If I've come out of 2020 with one lesson, it is...
Don't rile up Ed.
That's 3 stories / instances (K-os story, interview w/ vox running away, Wolken's comment) I've heard or read where he bites back.

What's the KO-S story (re-read the thread about the don't think sample, but no news in there) and the Interview situation?
How come there is no thread on this? :o
What an excellent mix, the first (well second really) track is like a 2020 version of chemical beats, quality stuff. It heads into the amyl house type stuff of the 90s, loads of acid and Not Another Drugstore thrown in for good measure.

Oh, there's a thread on this. And even Ed replied...
https://forum.thechembase.com/index.php/topic,2509.0.html
@Wolkenkrabber - Thanks for the early tracklist.
And...uh..thanks for bringing Ed back?
Joking aside, we got an intimate answer about an intimate mix, so THAT's something. I enjoyed the mix very much, and when I saw you took the time to ID it, I took it that you enjoyed it as well. Yeah, I guess there was a minor 'slight' in your comment, but to me it seemed casually conversational in a receptive discussion. It's a shame Ed took exception to that ONE comment, but I certainly understand his POV on it as well. It's been a difficult year for everyone, and I can't imagine what it's like right now for those in the performing arts. It sucks that that's the moment he decided to check on us...hopefully he'll be back.
And no matter what, that cut of Not Another Drugstore came through my town like a fuckin' blizzard!

Love the spirit of your post!
i mean yea honestly this is a wicked mix, really made my day when it came out, hope ed knows that.! hope it's enough =]
Over the weekend I put this on and then listened to In Glint immediately after. Despite being nearly two decades apart, I find similarity in the presentations. I wish they would put out stuff like this every year: I'd buy it.
Now I'm in the mood for Brothers Gonna Work It Out and the Anti-Nazi Mix...
I'm finally getting around to listening to this for the first time, and I'm here to talk about the experimental track Eartheater - 'Inclined'
It's so deeply soaked in a Disney sample, I'm not sure how this hasn't been flagged.
"suck my bile"? Yikes

Ah, yes I realised I knew the sample but didn't pinpoint it on Beauty and the Beast
