The Wiseguys & Derek Dahlarge — Essential Mix artwork

The Wiseguys & Derek Dahlarge recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 5 January 1997 — their only appearance in the Waveform archive. It lands in the late-nineties peak of superclub culture, and the set sits in House territory.

The mix runs through 38 documented tracks, opening with Vienna Philarmonic — “Siegfried's Funeral March” and closing on Arthur Baker — “Breaker's Revenge”. Along the way it draws on labels like EMI, Sire and Southpaw.
