Alex Wolfenden recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 19 August 2007 — 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 31 documented tracks, opening with Chemical Brothers — “Harpoons” and closing on Pink Floyd — “The Great Gig In The Sky”. Along the way it draws on labels like 1931, I.R.S. and Elektra.
