“Radio 1’s Essential Mix @ 20
“When I’m asked to choose my favourite mix or record, my head explodes! Picking out one Essential mix from over a thousand was such a difficult choice. There have been so many great Essential Mixes over the years. David Holmes, Oakey’s Goa mix and Sasha’s Maida Vale mix all come to mind. But the mix I’ve chosen had a profound effect on my DJing. I remember playing it constantly one summer driving around Ibiza in my car.And listening to it again today makes you realize how prophetic it was, and how much their sound influenced not only me but the likes of Richie Hawtin, Luciano and Marco Carola as well”.

“”When I was asked to do the Essential Mix I couldn’t believe it! To be placed into a category of the best DJs and seeing the list of DJs who have already mixed, this left me in awe. It was a nice touch coming off a great year back in 2010 when my debut album landed on Rinse and fresh off my North American tour earlier that year. The idea behind putting the mix together was just to summarize me, my style of music and what I was digging that year with some exclusives” Roska, December 2013.”

“”There have been some game changing drum & bass Essential Mixes over the years and none more so than LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad’s 1995 mix. This mix came from the era between jungle and drum & bass and some of the tracks in this mix are absolutely timeless. They’re mixed together perfectly, as everything always was with Bukem, and you’ve got Conrad in the background doing his thing. Its just a perfect mix!” Friction.”

This one was first aired in 2011.
“”Picking a favourite Essential Mix is impossible. It’s like saying what’s your favourite album! But in the end I went for the most relevant mix for now, from the winner of the 2013 Mercury Music Prize, James Blake. This is one of the stand out Essential Mixes for me over the past few years. Superb selction all the way through. It’s interesting and varied and a real representation of his influences, which I think any good mix by an artist really should be”. Benji B.”

Pete Tong – BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix 2013-12-25 First ever Essential Mix [Classic]

Leave a Comment / Essential Mix /

“”I can’t believe we’ve been doing this show for twenty years! We’ve done over a thousand Essential Mixes in that time and created an unbelievably rich archive of dance music history. The idea behind the Essential Mix first came from me going to New York in the 1980’s, discovering the mix show and being blown away by it. Then when I got my own show on Radio 1 in the early 1990’s I told my bosses that we had to have a show like this in the UK. The Essential Mix was the perfect way to get DJs like Sasha, Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox onto Radio 1. Putting this first Essential Mix together was quite antiquated compared to the way its put together today. It was literally me standing in a room with two turntables and recording straight onto tape recorders!” Pete Tong, December 2013.”
