Gilles Peterson — Essential Mix

12 February 1995 · House / Techno

Gilles Peterson recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 12 February 1995 — their only appearance in the Waveform archive. It lands in the show's formative years, when Radio 1 first handed two hours of its airwaves to club culture, and the set sits in House and Techno territory.

The mix runs through 35 documented tracks, opening with James Brown (ID Remix/Cover — “Begins With The End Of 'The Payback' And Samples 'Mind Games')” and closing on Slowly — “On The Loose”. Along the way it draws on labels like Impulse!, Mo Wax and Blue Note.
