Essential Mix

Sasha · 15 January 1994

Recorded early in the Essential Mix's life, this is Sasha working the long, patient build that would define the next decade of progressive house. Nothing is rushed — tracks are given room to turn over, and the peaks land because of the space around them. A good first stop if you want to hear where the sound starts.

Recommended if you like: Northern Exposure, early Renaissance nights, Leftfield-era club records.
