Richie Hawtin recorded this Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 1 August 2014 — the 1st of their 2 Essential Mixes in the Waveform archive. It lands in the 2010s wave that pulled underground sounds back to the front, and the set sits in Tech House, Techno and Electronic 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 Kolsch, Friend Within, Tiesto Clublife Afterhours Mix.
