HEY! Pretty interesting week behind and ahead of me. I deactivated my FaceBook and made a new one just to post stuff for C+A+D, and I feel like a new man! It’s crazy how much time is wasted on FaceBook…damn. Well yeah, I did it so I could focus my energy on passing one of my classes. It’s finals week. Which is good news for you, because I’ve compiled a list of mixes I like after the jump. Good luck to people being tested. Stay focused so we can all celebrate at Coachella! That lineup is looking more and more real as the days go by. Regardless, enjoy #87 and the mixes below. Love y’all.

Mixes/Sets
The Twelves Essential Mix
My favorite essential mix ever. I can’t and won’t give it a rest. 2 solid hours of grade A electronic and house. Uniquely mixed in a way that only the Twelves can do.
Treasure Fingers Defected In The House Miami ’12 Mix
Latest mix from the man behind the fingers. Loungy goodness. Lay back or get up and dance. Anything goes here.
2 Many DJ’s LIVE @ HARD Haunted Mansion 2011
Couldn’t be happier to see this recording finally find its way to my library. 2 Many DJs working their Under the Covers tour in all its glory. Looks like they’re currently revamping it for another tour soon…do they ever stop?
Moonchild’s Birthday Mix for Les Petits Bruits
Moonchild is definitely making a name for himself in the French/Disco house scene. This won’t be the last time he comes up on C+A+D. This mix has a bunch of his songs and remixes. Feel good and bass filled tunes.
Soulwax Live at Soulwaxmas 2008
Soulwax doing what they do best: flawless live sets. Little biased on this one because I saw them right before they played this in Europe at HHM 08 and it’s pretty similar, as far as I remember.
Nero Essential Mix
Nero split this up into 3 parts. Dubstep/Electro/everything. The tracklist speaks for itself. Another favorite essential mix.
Treasure Fingers Live From Temple SF
Treasure Fingers…this guy can do no wrong. My favorite set of his so far.
Wolfgang Gartner Live at Winter Music Conference 2010
Right before Wolfgang took his final leap into the group of premier DJs. From his live show recordings and essential mix, I’d say this is his most well put together.
Treasure Fingers 2011 Spring Mix *Recorded Live In England*
Free Treasure Fingers Spring mix! More great house.
Fake Blood Essential Mix
Classic. Voted 4th best essential mix of 2009 and by good reason. Fake Blood is a bo$$.
Swedish House Mafia Live from EDC 2010
I’ll never forget this set from EDC. Witnessing this live put house music on a completely different level for me. One of my go-to’s for being productive.
Calvin Harris Essential Mix
2 hours of the Calvin Harris we know and love. He mixes it up a lot in this one. Hard filthy electro and dancy disco.
Soulwax Live at Hard Summer 2010
Soulwax returns to LA after a 2 year hiatus, and this low quality rip is all I have to remember it.
Wolfgang Gartner Essential Mix
60+ tracks in this massive mix by one of the top production wizards in the world. I was expecting more to be honest, but still a keeper.
