Dave Clarke recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 18 May 1997 — the 3rd of their 4 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the late-nineties peak of superclub culture, and the set sits in Techno territory.

The mix runs through 47 documented tracks, opening with Party Boy — “Twilight Zone” and closing on Code 6 — “Last Voyage”. Along the way it draws on labels like Urban - URBX 27, Black Market International - BLMK R 002 and Underground Resistance - UR-010.
