The Essential Mix is a weekly radio show broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and features many styles of electronic dance music. It was originally the brainchild of Eddie Gordon, the producer of the show from the first broadcast in 1993 to 2001. 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. It is one of very few Radio 1 shows which is not broadcast live.

This Essential Mix is from the Plump DJs recorded back in 2003.

Thought to be lost forever, I discovered an actual high quality MA-XG TDK cassette I recorded from Omar's original Master Ampex Reel which was made in the early months of 1984, exactly 30 years ago today.  Multiple Editing was an integral part of 80's Dance Music and even though it was The Latin Rascals who made splicing tape popular in the early 80's, it was Omar Santana who took editing to another level which was never duplicated by anyone.  And this mix is the proof.

I spent most of my weekends in Omar's lab in Hollis, Queens in 1984 and we figured out the formula for tape moving at 15 inches per second X 120 BPM's = 7.5 inches per beat.  With this formula, splicing tape became an art, everything was in perfect time and kicks could be replaced by snares and repeated in machine gun fashion,

This is Electronic Dance Music being created in the beginning when technology was at it's birth.

THE 1984 BITS & PIECES - TIME CAPSULE SAVED FOR 30 YEARS BY OMAR SANTANA

This mixtape was one of the only produced "All Scott Henry" mixtapes meaning both sides are mixed by the legend.  The only other one I know of is the "Way Out West" mixtape.  This album came out as a giveaway at a Holiday Buzz in 1997 and contains tracks Scott was playing frequently at Buzz: Nations Night Club in Washington DC. as Fever in Baltimore was closed at the time.  

Our goal is to promote the tracks on this mixtape to educate the youth. Please let us know if there are any errors in the track listing.

Elite Force - Live At The London Boat Party (July 14)

This is my set from the Beats 4 Love Festival which took place at Dolní Vítkovice in Ostrava, Czech Republic, in the summer of 2023.

Since I returned to the fray in 2023, I've been using Ableton and a number of controllers to create my sets and am loving the flexibility it gives me to do deeper dives into edits, overdubs, mashups and mixes. It wasn't uncommon during this set to have four or five audio channels running simultaneously. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Forbookings, please contact lesley (at) iamcru (dot) com
Much love,
Simon

Freestylers Live @ Glastonbury '99 - Jazz World Stage

This was the second time we had been asked to perform at Glastonbury, check out our bass player Joe in the photo and it will give you some idea of the size of the crowd we were about to play to!
We'd been on tour in USA for a few weeks and had only just touched down on UK soil the day before.
Everyone was pretty jet lagged but when we looked out to the 20,000 people that were waiting to see us...the adrenalin sure kicked in.
This show was a defining moment for all of us and still remains probably the best Freestylers show ever. 
We hope you enjoy this as much as we did..
