Paul Oakenfold — Essential Mix

19 March 1994 · House

Paul Oakenfold recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 19 March 1994 — the 2nd 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 House territory.

The mix runs through 25 documented tracks, opening with Extasia — “Extasia (Capricorn Version)” and closing on Cyprus Hill — “Insane In The Brain”. Along the way it draws on labels like Chameleon, PZ Productions and Calypso.
