The Essential Mix

The Essential Mix, BBC Radio 1

The Essential Mix, hosted by Pete Tong, is a dance music institution; a must-listen for clubbers and DJs alike.

First broadcast on Radio 1 on October 10, 1993, the Essential Mix has provided landmark DJ sets from the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Andrew Weatherall, Danny Rampling, Sasha, David Holmes and of course Pete Tong, as well as modern day classic mixes from new DJs like Above and Beyond, James Zabeila and Eddie Haliwell.

The Essential Mix was the first British radio show to broadcast live from Ibiza, back in 1995. Since then we've beamed live sets into British living rooms from clubs and festivals the world over; from Skolbeats in Brazil to Coloursfest in Glasgow; from Space Ibiza to The Ministry Of Sound in London.

The Essential Mix is broadcast on Sunday mornings between 1 and 3am
