Seeing as I've been underemployed of late I've been doing a lot of solo riding. And bloody great fun it is too.

Rather than putting playlists together I've rediscovered a taste for seemlessly mixed, big boncy 'choons'. Puts a smile on your face while blatting through the countryside.

My Mate Nick DJ's and has put some belters together. Willfully obscure stuff, massive basslines and the odd old skool classic dropped in. Here are a couple of his for you

I know there are people on here with some pretty good taste in music, so let me have your recommendations please. Even better – your mixes. And your opinions on these. I've not actually listened to these two yet as they're brand new. But he's always consistently good

If you've got time on your hands you could try browsing Mixriot.com. They/he has loads of mixes organised by show/ DJ. Sadly the Essential Mixes will be taken down soon. Costs £2 per month by paypal, but worth signing up just to download a dozen mixes.

theres an essential mix site you can get them all from. essentialmixes.net or something like that

I listen to this when running/riding, its meant for running but works just as god on the bike.

Hmm.. where to start, where to start…

looking fwd to listening to a few of these so far, nice thread idea, cheers!

highest crash-count per band / mix etc is still AC/DC though, just can't beat an Angus Young riff to push you too far haha

for summer riding in the woods can't beat a bit of scratch perverts fabric live.

Raffertie's mix for Rab Da Bank. If that doesn't make you ride faster… 🙂

The Leftfield essential mix from 1994 is one i return to time after time.

And the background noise of your tyres on the trail give it that authentic vinyl sound too.

Loads of cracking mixes from the clubs I used to frequent back in the day, some have dodgy sound quality but there are some real gems on there. I now realise how good out local hero DJ's were!
