Danny Rampling recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 20 November 1993 — the 1st of their 7 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 and Acid House territory.

The mix runs through 35 documented tracks, opening with K-Klass — “Into The Groove” and closing on The Time Frequency — “Real Love”. Along the way it draws on labels like Deconstruction, Olympic and Power Trax.
