All the way back in 1993, legendary household producer Paul Oakenfold was the first artist to record the first ever BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. Feeling a little nostalgic, we daresay, Paul tweeted the link to his Soundcloud page, granting everyone listening rights to the foundation of a podcast we’re eternally grateful for today! A historic throwback to the 90′s, a lot of tunes may be unheard of, since most of us probably weren’t around then. Oakenfold’s mixing skills are still some of the finest in the industry, and this essential mix does not disappoint whatsoever. An interesting throwback to house music of the preceding decade, you can view the tracklist and stream below.
