Sven Vath recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 6 April 1997 — the 1st of their 3 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the late-nineties peak of superclub culture, and the set sits in House, Trance and Techno territory.

The mix runs through 22 documented tracks, opening with Carl Craig — “Alien Talk” and closing on Cold — “Strobe Light Network (Blue Glass Remix)”. Along the way it draws on labels like SSR - 188, M-Plant - 307-1 and Playhouse - 10.
