Photek recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 28 December 1997 — the 1st of their 2 Essential Mixes 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 17 documented tracks, opening with Pete Tong — “Photek Essential Mix Intro” and closing on Goldie — “Mother”. Along the way it draws on labels like Photek, Science and White.
