The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and features all styles of dance music. The show has been hosted since its conception in 1993 by DJ Pete Tong who was also the first performer, broadcast on 30 October 1993. Every Sunday a two hour programme is broadcast, usually between the hours of 2am and 4am UK-time (the programme was previously broadcast between 1am and 3am, and before that, between 2am and 4am and originally midnight and 2am). The standard format of the show is an uninterrupted guest mix of two hours provided by an invited DJ, group or producer, introduced by Pete Tong. The mix is usually studio recorded in advance, but there are also live broadcasts from clubs or festivals, particularly during the Summer months (Northern Hemisphere). These are mainly from within the UK, but are sometimes broadcast from Ibiza, North America and elsewhere. The broadcasts from Ibiza have taken place every summer since the first broadcast of Nicky Holloway playing live at Ku on 2 July 1995.

Overview

The Essential Mix quickly established a strong reputation within the dance music community and has gained prestige both in the UK and internationally. BBC Producers would appear to have had little difficulty in attracting big names to the programme, with the list of the shows performers essentially reading as a "who's who of dance music". The shows success can perhaps be partly attributed to Radio 1's unique ability to offer DJs the chance to play a relatively long set on radio uninterrupted by advertisements, something which cannot be matched by the BBC's commercial rivals (the BBC is funded through TV Licensing). The absence of any kind of interruption in music has led to the show being touted as a "two hour musical journey" rather than as simply an assortment of records. The show has been used as a platform for artists to showcase their talents, and for some is seen as a major boost to their careers.

Significance

Like all of Radio 1's dance music output, the Essential Mix is seen as significant in its contribution to the popularization of dance music in the UK. The programme has chartered the development of the dance music genre from 1993 to the present day and shows no sign of losing its influence. Perhaps the most significant Essential Mix of all was that of 18 December 1994, which was recorded by the British DJ Paul Oakenfold. The mix, now legendary, has become known as 'The Goa Mix' and was successful in bringing Goa Trance music to mainstream dance and club culture. The two hour recording remains one of Oakenfold's most acclaimed works to date. Later on it was David Holmes who created another 2 legendary hours in the history of the Essential Mix: His set on June 15th 1997 – a surprising journey from Nancy Wilson to Jimi Hendrix – redefined the DJ as a collector of musical history.

New Technologies

The advent of the internet brought the programme to an international audience for the first time (the Radio 1 website launched in 1996) . In 2002 the BBC launched their 'listen again' online radio service and the Essential Mix (along with the Essential Selection) became consistently the most popular specialist music show of the whole BBC Radio network amongst internet users. According to BBC server logs, the show receives around 50,000 online requests per week (though this can be much higher, with the 2003 Ibiza show attracting 96,682 requests) , which compares to the shows 'live' audience of 80,000. Whilst demand for a podcast of the show is high, the BBC has resisted in making the show available in this way due to copyright issues. The development of peer-to-peer internet technologies spawned a new trend in which fans of the show made recordings of mixes available to users of services such as BitTorrent and eMule. Although technically illegal, as of yet the BBC has not taken any action against such activity.

Essential Mix of the Year

At the end of each year, a shortlist of the most popular Essential Mixes from that year is drawn up by the BBC. Listeners are invited to vote for their favourite shortlisted mix in a poll on the Essential Mix web site around two weeks before the final show of the year. The mix with the majority of the votes is given the title of "Essential Mix of the Year" and is replayed in the final show of the year.
