Download an uninterrupted version of Nicolas Jaar's remarkable Essential Mix

2012 has been a good year for the BBC’s august Essential Mix series.

The show, which invites established and up-and-coming artists to produce two-hour mixes for broadcast, has notched up a fair few classic editions this year. Rustie’s contribution to the series in April was both brilliantly crafted and highly successful, and Martyn’s effort back in February was one of his most effective recorded sets to date.

Probably the most head-turning – and, dare we say it, most popular – was a venturesome session from Nicolas Jaar. Tilting from *NSYNC to Ricardo Villalobos to Nikita Quasim, it used the broad canvas of the Essential Mix to ambitious effect.

Jaar has now made the full mix available to download in its entirety. This version is unencumbered by BBC idents or untimely interjections from host Pete Tong, so it’s very much the set as it was originally intended to be heard.
