FACT Magazine - 20 Best Mixes

A mix can show you a side to an artist that a regular album can’t, it can disinter the latent energy in songs both bleeding edge and familiar, it can help commemorate the past and it can break and spread important news. That’s why the second of our end-of-year lists celebrates the mix in all its modern-day incarnations - studio mixes, live mixes, radio sets and MC-oriented mixtapes - most of which are available to download for free below.
