X Press 2 — Essential Mix

16 April 1994 · House / Techno

X Press 2 recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 16 April 1994 — the 1st of their 2 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 Techno territory.

The mix runs through 35 documented tracks, opening with La Funk Mob — “Motor Bass Get Phunked Up” and closing on Praise Space Electric — “Diggin' At The Dig In”. Along the way it draws on labels like Mo Wax - 017, Emotive - 747 and Caustic Vision - 002.
