Remix friday came and went, but I still want to make sure everyone gets a chance to listen to the Essential Mix from 08-26. Its a Tony Wilson/Factory/Hacienda tribute with Pete Tong & Mike Pickering throwing down words and music all spawning from the efforts of Tony Wilson and crew. Stream and download link are below, with the track listing below the cut. I think it speaks for itself.

holy crap, such good stuffs
Great guy, great mix - Pete Tong’s tribute made me laugh though “he took me aside and told me how important I was….” … ha, ha, ha - arrogant knob.
My memory banks are in overload! Sat at my desk in an advertising agency in NY, on what, for obvious reasons, is a pretty depressing day, I was,for the briefest of moments transported back to the Hacienda. I was in the middle of the dance floor looking up adoringly at the DJ box on the balcony, as Mike Pickering drops another bomb.The Hacienda must be (Re)built for Tony!
Thank you!
