You say below that most of what you have is from 10 years ago. I would say things have moved on since then, there are a lot of good mix CDs about - maybe because there are so many mix CDs now that even if the proportion of them that are good is no better (or even worse!) there are still a larger number. Really, checking a good store's wares should net one of two good looking ones. > Flipping through what I have already I realized that most of mine are at > least 10 years old I think a few answers you got are from the same era as the ones you mention. I'm not providing much real specific help here am I?! But as usual when it comes to specifics my mind goes blank. How about the Fabric series? They have lots of good contributors (e.g. Rob Hood) and sometimes even when it's people I'm either not too familiar with (e.g. Rub-n-Tug) or didn't expect so much of (e.g. Ellen Allien) they're Fabric CDs are good. If I had to pull a current mix CD I think good, that satisfies the criterion "thump", I'd go for Berghain 03 - Len Faki.
