Li Kwan- point zero , not hesrd this in forever.  Excellent choice.  Loved the mix marcus

So good as is usual Marcus. Jam packed with plenty that I've never heard before too. Also as usual.

Great set mate. Glad you are back from your break and brightening up my soundcloud feed!

An original venue 44 mix, recorded and remastered from tape so not the best quality, but takes me back...

Ian Ossia - Renaissance 1992 Venue 44

Equally my favourite Essential Mix of all time. Dave Seaman and Steve Anderson at their level best with an awe-inspiring mix, full of past anthems, great mixing and happy memories, which are timeless. Still spine-tinglingly fantastic. Artists include Deep Dish, Chakra, Digital Blondes, Bedrock, T-Empo, Blue Amazon and more. First broadcast on June 23rd, 1996. All thanks and rights go to Brothers In Rhythm and BBC Radio 1.

Dave Seaman - BBC Radio 1 Dance Presents Stress Records Mix

‘Lost In Lockdown’ Week 8 - Sasha 25th Anniversary Essential Mix @ Que Club.

In 1995, BBC Radio 1 and Cream put together their 'Live' tour with amazing line ups and aired them 'live' for the first time on the radio for listeners. On the Saturday 27th May, The ‘Grande Finale’ of the tour was at the legendary ‘Que Club’ in Birmingham and boasted a line up that featured the biggest Dj’s in the UK at that time. An all-night affair at a club that could hold thousands from 10pm-6am was a first of it’s kind and for the first time you could sit at home listening to the music and madness erupting.

After Sasha & John Digweed’s 1994 Renaissance album had converted and gained so many more fans to the duos epic brand of House Music, 1995 was to take it to the next level. The advancements in the sound they started playing was to be an insight into the future of electronic music. Progressive House suddenly had a harder edge and pushed the boundaries of sound using technology far away from the traditional House music sound with piano and soulful vocals. 

The reason I have chosen to commemorate this mix is that it changed my outlook on House music. I have always enjoyed all genres of music but back then we didn’t have the amounts of genres and sub-genres enjoyed now. I knew I was hearing something very different.

I recorded the whole broadcast from start to finish, swapping 90 min tapes in and out, barely containing my excitement for what I was hearing and capturing. The crowd noises, Tong’s voice bellowing out over the roar of the crowd announcing the DJ's – it was just amazing, literally AMAZING.

Out of all the mixes, it was, of course, Sasha’s that caught my attention and engaged me more than all the other mixes. Having already seen him play this was the nucleus for a brand new Sasha obsession.

To celebrate 25 years since Sasha played the mix live on air that Saturday evening (I still have the original tape, see pic) I’m going to play all the tracks he played* and hope to give us all the sense of nostalgia and wonderment I felt that night.

Most of the tracks are recordings from my vinyl collection before I sold it all to a collector back in 2014.

The mix itself is only around 80 mins so I’ll play some extra tracks from his other sets around the same time.

For myself, 1995 was my favourite year of clubbing ever. The music, the DJ’s the energy at that time was explosive. Join me and let’s take the journey back together.
