E Smoove — Essential Mix

5 February 1995 · House

E Smoove recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 5 February 1995 — their only appearance 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 32 documented tracks, opening with E-Smoove — “E-Smoove Theme” and closing on Kelli Rich — “Hide-A-Way (E-Smoove's Anthem Mix)”. Along the way it draws on labels like Acetate, A&M and Strictly Rhythm.
