Future Sound Of London — Essential Mix
Future Sound Of London recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 4 June 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 Electronic and Ambient territory.
The mix runs through 33 documented tracks, opening with 400 Blows — “A Declaration Of Intent” and closing on Yage's Noise Collection — “London Underground”. Along the way it draws on labels like Castle Comms Ltd, Rough Trade and Factory.
