Pete Tong — Essential Mix

30 October 1993 · House

Pete Tong recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 30 October 1993 — the 1st of their 13 Essential Mixes 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 territory.

The mix runs through 21 documented tracks, opening with Eternal — “Save Our Love (West End D'Rhythm Mix)” and closing on FKW — “Seize The Day (Drum Beat Tip)”. Along the way it draws on labels like EMI, Olympic and Stress.
