Grooverider recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 26 January 1997 — their only appearance in the Waveform archive. It lands in the late-nineties peak of superclub culture, and the set sits in Drum & Bass territory.

The mix runs through 26 documented tracks, opening with Sufi — “The River (VIP)” and closing on Optical — “What's The Difference?”. Along the way it draws on labels like Regal, Moving Shadow and New Identity.
