David Holmes — Essential Mix

18 June 1995 · Techno / House

David Holmes recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 18 June 1995 — the 2nd of their 5 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 Techno and House territory.

The mix runs through 27 documented tracks, opening with Cristian Vogel — “Time” and closing on David Holmes — “Shake Ya Brain”. Along the way it draws on labels like Tresor - 22, Acacia and 430 West - 240.
