High Contrast recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 9 January 2005 — the 2nd of their 4 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the mid-2000s, as electro and minimal reshaped dancefloors, and the set sits in Drum & Bass territory.

The mix runs through 29 documented tracks, opening with The Streets — “It's Too Late (High Contrast Remix)” and closing on Omni Trio — “Renegade Snares (High Contrast Remix) (With Apocalypse Now Sample)”. Along the way it draws on labels like 679, Hospital and Unreleased.
