When someone hears the name “Essential Mix,” one thinks of EDM giants such as Swedish House Mafia, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox and more. A staple name in today's industry, Daft Punk is often forgotten as being one of the most representative acts in the show's history.
The legendary duo composed by Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo first played their essential mix 18 years ago, a mere three days before releasing their first-ever studio album, “Homework”.
Pete Tong's BBC Radio 1 show broadcast every Saturday has been a staple in the EDM industry for 22 years now.
The helmet-wielding electronic music magnates produced a two-hour electronic production that won them a spot as one of the ten classic essential mixes in the show's history. Take a look at the other nine essential mixes of the year HERE.
