Road to Oblivion - DJ Pain
A very atmospheric mix featuring lots of samples from the 1988 film Miracle Mile - a story about a man who answers a random phone call and discovers a nuclear war has been instigated (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097889/). Lots of great beats which all come together to form an uneasy feeling of tension. After hearing this mix a hundred times - I found Miracle Mile cut into parts on YouTube, it was never released in the UK and is worth a watch - apparently it was a big inspiration for Cloverfield.
