The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show on BBC Radio 1 currently broadcast between 0:00 - 2:00 AM UK time on Saturday morning. Originally broadcast on 30 October 1993, the Essential Mix features contemporary DJs and music producers of electronic dance music. The show has been presented since its inception by Pete Tong and features an uninterrupted two-hour mix from a different artist each week, overlaid with occasional continuity announcements delivered by Tong. With a broadcast run in excess of 25 years, the Essential Mix is one of the longest-running programmes in the current BBC Radio 1 schedule, and is one of very few Radio 1 shows which is not broadcast live.

The Orange stage is back as a hardtrance stage on DefQon.1! I'm honoured as hell to open this mighty stage together with my friend Steenwolk. We fell in love with trance & hardtrance a long time ago, back when legends like Cosmic Gate, Rank 1, Bas & Ram, Kai Tracid and Kamui played at this stage. This serie of tribute mixes will combine their sets from back in the days with newer trance and hardtrance.
