David Holmes recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 18 December 1993 — the 1st of their 5 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 Techno and House territory.

The mix runs through 22 documented tracks, opening with Bandulu — “Phaze In-Version” and closing on Inocybe — “Inocybe Fastigiata”. Along the way it draws on labels like Infonet - 12T, NovaMute - 12 NoMu 25 and Holistic - AB 002.
