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 26 documented tracks, opening with The Upsetters — “Blackboard Jungle Dub (Ver. 1)” and closing on Sublime — “TGV (Paris-Marseille)”. Along the way it draws on labels like Clocktower, Exploding Plastic Inevitable - EPI 001 and Big Life - 867 547-1.
