Nick Warren recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 20 August 1995 — the 1st of their 4 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 Progressive House territory.

The mix runs through 31 documented tracks, opening with Eric Levi — “Ouverture” and closing on Terrence Parker — “Emancipation Of My Soul”. Along the way it draws on labels like Remark, East West and Heavenly.
