Paul Oakenfold live Goa A Rare Treat recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 27 October 1997 — their only appearance in the Waveform archive. It lands in the late-nineties peak of superclub culture, and the set sits in House, Trance and Techno territory.
A full tracklist for this broadcast has not been documented — the recording runs as one continuous set. It aired in a year that also brought Essential Mixes from The Wiseguys & Derek Dahlarge, Doc Martin, Alex P & Brandon Block.
