Pete Tong recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 2 May 1998 — the 6th of their 13 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the late-nineties peak of superclub culture, and the set sits in House 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 Pete Tong Ministry of Sound, Carl Cox live from South Africa, Freddie Fresh.
