Paul Oakenfold — Essential Mix artwork

Paul Oakenfold recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 6 November 1993 — the 1st of their 9 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 Trance and Progressive House territory.

The mix runs through 28 documented tracks, opening with Latin Rascals — “Big Apple Production Vol. II - Genius At Work” and closing on Vernon — “Vernon's Wonderland”. Along the way it draws on labels like J & T, Slip N' Slide and Freeze.
