Fergie recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 28 October 2001 — the 2nd of their 7 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the early-2000s era of progressive sounds and superstar DJs, 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 & Sasha, Fergie, Paul Jackson.
