James Lavelle & Pete Tong — Essential Mix

James Lavelle & Pete Tong recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 1 November 2008 — their only appearance in the Waveform archive. It lands in the mid-2000s, as electro and minimal reshaped dancefloors, and the set sits in House territory.

The mix runs through 14 documented tracks, opening with UNKLE — “Trouble In Paradise (Variation On A Theme)” and closing on Pryda feat. Julie McKnight — “Diamond Life (Muranyi Remix)”. Along the way it draws on labels like Surrender All, House Anxiety and Get Physical.
