Darren Emerson — Essential Mix

9 July 1994 · House / Techno

Darren Emerson recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 9 July 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 27 documented tracks, opening with Denise Motto — “XTC” and closing on Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force — “Renegades Of Funk”. Along the way it draws on labels like Rhythm King, DJ International and House Nation - 88012.
