Welcome to this part of my website where you can find everything about my yearmixes...
Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2010
Current status: getting inspired! Yes, it's still very early but before you know it, you'll be drowning in end-of-year-mixes! So, I start getting inspired by listening to this year's music and of course previous yearmixes. Yes, the ones that Ben Liebrand made in the 80's definitely can inspire any day of the week! :)
Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2009
The moment you've been waiting for... I'm usually the last one in line putting one's yearmix online but here it is! 100+ hours of cutting, pasting, some more cutting and pasting, encoding, decoding, drinking beer, eating hamburgers... have resulted in a mix that was destined (not?) to fit within the hour but unfortunately I ate way too many hamburgers so the total mix has grown into a whopping 68 minutes containing 115 music tracks and two more tracks that are listed as the official intro and outtro. Oh yes, hit me baby! Gimme the download links now! Yeah, baby...!

An extra download mirror for you all to enjoy! OK, make sure to grab part1 and part2, let e.g. WinRAR take care of the parts and then you can enjoy of one huge mp3 file, the tracklisting and the cue-sheet... If you're not yet into downloading the mix, check out the FULL tracklisting to see which tracks are in this so-called Extended Edition of my 2009 yearmix. When you're planning to squeeze my yearmix on a CD, how about passing some work to your printer? Bring on that shiny expensive paper! So sexy!

Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2008
Well... It's been some time since I've updated anything here. Sorry for that. Busy at work as well as other things and unfortunately I have to do the best I can during the 24 hours I have in a day...
So this year there won't be a Dj Esanto Yearmix ...
But don't worry, I'll be back in 2009... :-)
Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2007
The wait is over! Yearmix 2007 is online! Broadcasted on several radio stations and now it's online for you to grab. Drop on your harddrives! Place on your favorite mp3-player! Share it with your family and friends! Listen to it while moving along by train, car or... when you're in bed!
This year's Dj Esanto Yearmix has been put online on two hosts for you to grab. Below you can find the links. If you have the mix and you somehow have misplaced the tracklisting and/or the cue-file, you can grab them from here (the tracklisting) and here (the cue-file). About the covers... the last few bricks are being built in as I type this. They'll be online later on... Expected are: the front cover, back cover, a double-inlay and a CD cover! Stay tuned!

OK, here are the Yearmix 2007 covers. "Simplicity in its finest form". Originally I had plans to create covers like I created for the 2006 Yearmix but as you can see I moved in a totally different direction. I used a C64 emulator to create them with the original C64 colors and its simple but very effective character-set. Enjoy them!
Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2006
Yearmix 2006 is online! One month full of mixing, too much coffee, blown-up ears, missed phonecalls, lots of airplay, fun, hope, tears and laughter has paid of. I haven't done anything related to mixing from April to approx. November 2006 but I was sure of one thing: I'm going to make a yearmix 2006. While I was creating the preliminary track listing, looking for the right songs, scratching names, adding others, I wasn't really sure I could pull it off and I wasn't even sure while I was mixing the first 10 songs but my confidence grew each day until those 7 mixless months felt like just 24 hours and I really felt what I've been missing those 7 months: mixing! OK, let's get down to business!
Yearmix_2006_part1
Yearmix_2006_part2
Two links, each referring to one RAR archive. Download both archives and unrar using e.g. WinRAR. The package includes the mix itself (mp3), the track listing (nfo), the cue-sheet (cue) and an additional file to CRC-check. The last one is just there to check the CRC-integrity of the mp3-file. About the covers (check below)... I wanted to do something special and something I have done a long, long time ago. In the late 80's I designed a print for a T-shirt and it consisted of words, formed with letters all cut from several magazines. The text itself came from the "He Man" cartoon intro. The Yearmix 2006 covers are created the same way like the print for the T-shirt. Enjoy the mix and the covers. You can always drop me an email (check contact page) for info and comments. Too bad I don't have a guestbook, due to spammers and I couldn't get one working that blocks spamming... One more thing, if you have the mp3 but somehow misplaced the cue-sheet and/or track listing, you can grab them from here (nfo) and here (cue).

Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2005
It's online! My 2005 Yearmix is online! Some background info: 97 tracks are in it. Together with the intro and outro, there's a total of 99 tracks. The mix starts with "Knuffelrock" and some very nice soul at 64bpm and it ends at the level of 143bpm. In this yearmix you can find other genres like r&b, nederhop, pop, hip-hop, dance and a touch of rock and a bit of trance. And I really like to have some Dutch music in it so artists like Ali B, Brace, Lange Frans en Baas B, Chipz and Kus are also in my 2005 yearmix.
Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2005 is downloadable from here and here. The yearmix has been cut into two pieces. Two RAR archives to be precise, download them both and unRAR using WinRAR (get it from here). The tracklisting and the cue-sheet are included in these archives. I'll put more download mirrors in the near future.

Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2004
My 2004 yearmix is available through here (part1), here (part2) and here (part3). These 3 parts are RAR archives. UnRAR using e.g. WinRAR to get the complete mp3. Along the yearmix, you'll find the tracklisting, the cue-sheet and "extended versions" of both the intro and outro as I originally intended them but due to the length of yearmix itself, I had to shorten them to stay inside the 60-minutes mark. More download mirrors in the near future.

Dj Esanto's Yearmix 2003
During the last 2/3 months of 2003, I've created my first 2003. I had plans creating one in 2002 but things didn't go as I intended and I decided to wait since creating a yearmix needs a lot of preparation and of course skill and experience. And I felt I wasn't ready in 2002. The year 2003 was different. During that summer I decided to get myself some skill and experience and I collected a lot of songs from 2002 and from the first few months 2003. It took me 4 months but there it was. The 2nd volume in the Cocktails and Chicks series! Twice a yearmix, 198 songs, 99 songs per CD. I played a lot with loops. That didn't work out very well in all "looped" sections but it was so fun creating CACTPM2. I took that level of fun, put it in my 2003 yearmix. And of course my mixing skills got better and I got more experienced which resulted in more mixes and of course my latest project: my 2004 yearmix :-)
To get my 2003 yearmix, download part1 and part2. The two parts are RAR archives. To get the mp3, unRAR using e.g. WinRAR.
