Chemical Brothers — Essential Mix
Chemical Brothers recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 5 March 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 Breaks and Electronic territory.
The mix runs through 30 documented tracks, opening with Jean-Jacques Perrey — “E.V.A.” and closing on The Specials — “You're Wondering Now”. Along the way it draws on labels like Vanguard, Play It Again Sam and Jive.
