Laurent Garnier recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 14 August 2005 — the 4th of their 6 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the mid-2000s, as electro and minimal reshaped dancefloors, and the set sits in Tech House and Electro 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 High Contrast, Jon Obir, David Guetta.
