looks like this got stuck in my outbox, oy sorry so late

Lots of incredible mixes being posted online, I think 2003 was an
explosion of that... probably due to a combination of easier tools,
broadband gaining more of a foothold, and that whole "non commercial
mass distribution" thing the internet can be so good at. Certainly
online mixes created more buzz in the past year than ever before. I
still think that the mixtape/CD is a different vehicle and more
intimate for home/car/bedroom use, but you can't beat instant global
access to your mixes. :)
some of my favorites mixes I got in 2003 that I've played over and over
again, either for selections, mixing talent... or hopefully in most
cases both!
Placid "echoes and vibes" and Ronny Pries "back in the days" (both
absolutely outstanding mixes!!)

Duncan Ourtime mix and Alex Bond's "salford house wankoff" mix

Morthen Kiang: both "Smile" and "Apologies to the messenger..." mixes

DJBone mix on John Peel 2003
DJ Greg Wilson - "Best of '83" mix (ok, so it's 2003 minus 20 years?)

Super crazy/creative use of Ableton Live with real talent and a party
mentality:
