Coldcut recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 29 January 2006 — their only appearance in the Waveform archive. It lands in the mid-2000s, as electro and minimal reshaped dancefloors, and the set sits in House territory.

The mix runs through 34 documented tracks, opening with Adam F — “Unknown” and closing on J Roc — “Dirty Fingered B-Boy”. Along the way it draws on labels like Ninja Tune, Wild Apache and Big Beat.
