I was only about 9 years old when this was recorded but this mix is utterly top draw. For me this is the essence of dance music, not like a lot of the utter crap that is around today! The way it builds, the beats are all pumping, the mixing and beatmatching are ace.....completely inspires you to want to get on the decks and try and nail a great mix....vinyl of course :)
This is one of the best mixes i have ever heard Wait till around 1.30, proper pumps it up, exactly how a set should be, out of no where it absolutely goes off!
..Thats...quite the thing for the time.. Considering.. whoa - I gotta say I belong to those of you who are addicted to Digweed since the movie "Groove" . so pretty much ever since "Heaven Scent" . But this is delightful ! :O
If anyone knows what exact mixes of 'Yello - Vicious Games' and also 'Sasha - Magic' he uses here pleeeaase message me the names. I've looked for the Yellow mix everywhere and the mix of magic is not on Magic #1 and #2. Love to know. Thanks.
@kalimocho303 Been trying to get hold of this version of Magic for ages, mate. I even messaged Diggers himself but got no reply. It is without a doubt, a beautiful track. I got every mix of Magic but this one. This is such a quality Essential Mix. I saw a lot of DJ's in 94. For quality of mixing and tracklisting, Not many get close to Diggers (Sasha, Carl Cox are exceptions). I saluted you back in 93 when I first saw you play live in Newquay, Diggers, I salute you now Sir. ;-)
I recorded this origially to tape, wisely cutting out the news parts with the pause button. I've collected alot of these tunes on vinyl and I still listen to this mix today when I'm 'chillin down'. One of my faves indeed!
Nice one for the upload,I already have the highlights of this on mini disc which I recorded off casette which I originally recorded off my VHS tape which used to have hit man and her video picture, which was on at the same time as this was broadcasted. I used to set the timer for 2am for my radio to come on and VHS for the same time and set the audio input to my hifi. Was out clubbing and loved to listen to this on a comedown the next day, Great era the E`s the music,the dj`s not pete waterman
LOL takes me back to when i used to get shitfaced on the good drugs that are missing from this age. No snorting plant food in my day. just good sweets and even better beats. DIGGERS IS A LEGEND!
I'm really pleased that this mix has much higher viewing figures than The Goa Mix even though I uploaded The Goa Mix first. As much as I love The Goa Mix I reckon it's the most over rated EM ever. It has some amazing tunes but some of the mixing is terrible. This mix has both truly fantastic tunes and mixing so perfect that it's sometime hard to notice when one tune ends and the next begins.
Which version of Sasha's 'Magic' is this? I have searched and searched for it. Discogs don't have it. I have emailed Diggers a couple of years ago. To no avail. It is quite simply one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. Defo the best version of it.
Fuckin class!!!! rememba in ma mates after club listenmin tae this mix. In those days digweed was THE man!!! Before he went all sasha on us, 45 mins wen patersion n price audio lemon cums in is class!!! One o ma fave tunes ever !!!
Having said that, evry single mix is a pure work of art. I saw a lot of different dj's throughout 1994, and the level of mixing from many could not compare with the likes of Diggers. His sequencing of tracks made him stand out from so many other dj's back then that were making a mint from playing big tunes, but shit at mixing. Ran tover, back to reminicing lying on floor, off my head listening to this back in 94.
You have made me a very happy man, This, for me, is without a doubt the best and most inspiring Essential Mix there has ever been. My absolute favourite. I recorded this and sat and listened to it when it was broadcast. The mix from Sasha's 'Magic' into Harikari and then Yello's 'Vicious Games' is the work of a Genius. Someone who's love for music clearly stands out. An out and out groundbreaking mix. trip2themoon, Thank you very much, friend. This is the best upload on Youtube.
March '94 was an amazing month for the Essential Mix. Two weeks after this you had Oakie's trancetasic Essential Mix which was the first Essential Mix I ever heard. It always bugged me that the Goa Mix gets all the plaudits when the mix he done 2 weeks after this one had much better tunes and a better trance selection.
Truly superb set.....reminds me so much of nights at Renaissance at the Consevatory in Derby during 1994....As the mid 90's club scene was developing & it was always a sign of a top night if you didn't actually know or recognise the tracks being played.....kept these nights exclusive & underground....as opposed to some clubs "happy house" hand clapping type offerings that tended to always play all the commercial stuff that eventually found it's way into the charts for mainstream chavs......
Groundbreaking essential mix at the time and still sounds incredible today. Got 2 different recordings of this. One on a tape a friend used to have was actually sped up slightly and sounded awesome when in the car!
This is by far and away the best quality I've heard so I'll have to work out how to do the whole you tube recording to mp3 thing...my favourite post on you tube to date!
Absolute class....takes me back to the good old days. How could I put this mix onto my ipod?

what happened at 30:27? Is there something wrong with the recording, or was it a bad mix (unlikely!), or is that just how the track goes?

Yo. You missed a track listing.
1:23-1:30 is BT: Embracing the Sunshine (Sasha Remix)
It's B side of BT's debut album - Ima

This was one of the first EM's I listened to when re-educating myself on some history. This series of tracks absolutely blew my mind:
Punchanella - 'San Trancisco'
Bump - 'House Stompin'
The Ethics EP - 'La Luna'
Great quality upload. Thanks brother!
