I know, I know, I know…it’s been too long!  Here we are, back again after our summer holidays with a mix that starts of with a bit of electro and finishes on some harder trancey tracks.

Cast your mind back nearly 17 years to the first ever Essential Mix, Pete Tong pumped classics such as D-Tek’s ‘Drop The Rock’, Sabres Of Paradise with ‘Smokebelch II’, DJ Duke’s ‘Blow Your Whistle’ and Apollo 440 with ‘Astral America’.

No one could have imagined that nearly two decades later, the Essential Mix would still be going strong.  Last weekend saw Belgian dance duo Aeroplane become the 500th DJ act to appear on the legendary show, with their two hour set from Circus in Liverpool hitting the airwaves.

The duo said: “This is an incredible honour. The 500th Essential Mix, it is such an iconic playground to showcase the great music that we, and all 499 DJs who have done this mix, are into playing. To get the opportunity to do this anniversary edition is unbelievable for us. We almost did not make this session due to the Volcano and many other reasons, but being here tells us we may be able to fly after all!”

Frequent visitors to evilrabbit.co.uk will notice that things look a little different!

We used to use the services of Google’s Blogger to manage the layout of the website and display the details of our mixes. Unfortunately, Blogger decided to change it’s file transfer settings which caused a lot of grief uploading items to the website.

I decided to look for an alternative and WordPress seemed to the perfect replacement, so here we are with a new design and few more features to help you search through the evilrabbit archive.

I’ll be making a few changes over the next few days, so apologies if things get a bit messy.  It should all be sorted soon.
