Gordon Kaye — Essential Mix

30 April 1995 · House

Gordon Kaye recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 30 April 1995 — 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 territory.

The mix runs through 21 documented tracks, opening with Joy — “Tree Of Hearts” and closing on Slam — “Positive Education”. Along the way it draws on labels like US Hardkiss, Urban Hero and UMM - 222.
