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.

Update 11.09.2020: 
Most likely this is not a live set from Ibiza, but a studio mix. Here is a comment from https://soundcloud.com/farnesbarnes74: "This is not the mix from the night, this is a studio mix. I was there, and Oakey was the first DJ on. The atmos was shite, and he knew it. That's why he played Itty Bitty Boozy Woozy handbag shite. We were only there for Sasha anyway - thank God for B-Tribe's Nanita with the roof open, a defining clubbing moment."
