I remember to tis day ordering this 4 cd set off britania and paying 2puond per week for about 6 years buying all these mix cds in 95 and ive been searching for years and how found the best essential mix of all times who agrees 👍
Still have this on CD, got it when it came out and it was just before starting a new life in a different city - clubs, drugs, booze and women - best time of my life. Unlike now, 9-5, kids, shit loads of bills and crap music!
Move to Spain mate thats wheres it happening... you only live once if you live well once is enough .. good luck been there divorced now having the best time
93- 97 The best years in House. Raves were well organised by then and the emergence of really good clubs, decent clean speed and pill that were on point, from Disco funky house to Acid Tech and hard core and Gabba, drum and bass. What an era. Time of our lives back then. “What’s ya name? Where ya from? Reach for the lasers! Safe as fuck!!” 😆
Yep can't beat these 90s tunes and no matter how many DJs try n mash them up today they ll never beat the beats & bass of these tunes no way. 💃💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺💃🕺🕺💃 I feel like getin ready & goin out now who's up for it 😂 if only right now 😭 & show these youths today what raves all about. No fones just dance dance dance 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My friend introduced me to this back in the day and I played it so much I had to replace the CD many years later. For me the Pete Tong mixes are my favourites, Access and Neurodancer are mind blowing. Takes me back
Alexander Reilly the version that appears on that mix has been edited ....infacf the mix was done using protools . play the cd thro a bpm counter watch it go all over the place ...spesh 145 / 150 at the end ..
Used to have this on a blank tape a mate gave me with with Essential Mix 95 on it. I'm genuinely only finding out now that it was Pete Tong after some google snooping. I always remember that last trio of tracks been absolutely banging. Wippenberg - Neuro Dancer still gives me rushes.
Access, whippenburg, crescendo a few others!! I went on to purchase myself copies on vinyl a few years later and still them with a few hundred others lol 👌🙌
OMG I still remember like it was yesterday, 20 years ago, first year of Uni, buying this from HMV for £15.99 and playing to nonstop. Then off to the House or Beatroot nightclubs in Nottingham. Still have the full set of CDs in the loft! Memories...memories.. Good times.
where are my mates, a mad drive down the motorway, a freakin long queue, the time to take my meds, five hours of bass marching!!! nearly 50 now lol!!!!!
How the fuck did you (and the rest of us back then) manage to drive back! Luckily I zero recollection of driving back from Sheffield Manchester Newcastle etc..
Ha ha! I just popped this CD in my car during my travels on holiday last week, and loving it! *cue blank stares from my god-son* Whoo, who who whoo! Hide-away!

Too many good nights out started with this album. The Tong Cox mix would build you up into a really big night out. Sasha sees the dawn in, and then a cracking Oakenfold mix to see things through.
I remember having it when it first came out only for all four cd’s to get destroyed in my mates car cos he used to leave them out of their cases and rolling around in his door storage. Thought it was gone, forever! They rereleased it about six years later, I walked into HMV in Trafford Centre and it was there. Saved!
This is the CD that kept blowing my speakers. Eventually, I took my system into the music shop and played this through different speakers. I settled on a pair of Cerwin Vega DC10s. They gave this mix the justice it deserves...and could handle Are You Ready To Fly? (That fecker always got wound up to 11!) Still got all 4 CDs and I'm teaching the grandkids what proper music was and still is!
Oh my goodness. I had this on CD and for some reason it got thrown out many many years ago. Brings back some memories listening to it again. Happy chappie.
Haven’t listened to this in years... played this to death back in the day the mix of the last 4 tracks is engraved in my brain. Access nearly drove me mad with psychosis back in the Club UK days... wouldn’t change a single moment /memory though.
@@JamesBrewerDJ I was the same age mate.... going Glasgow underground to a new job, was my go-to discs. Made me feel strange and amazing all at once. Good times
Essential Selection...by Pete Tong. Used to be played weekly on our alt./club music radio channel Radiostacja in Poland. I was recording my tapes as well, yup.
Had this and had a recording of the essential mix live from cream with Pete tong and he play a lot of these tunes that night great atmosphere in the club , one of the many nights id choose to stay in and drop two yokes as the music was better than my local club , long live my purple and green flat
NO GENRES,PURE HOUSE,HOUSE MUSIC OH YEAH !!! CANT GET THESE DAYS BACK,UNLESS IT GOES FULL CIRCLE,IT WOULD BE FOR THE BEST,I THINK.IVE HAD MY DAY MIND YOU,I,M 46 NOW WITH QUITE SEVEREMENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.REGRETS !!! IVE HAD A FEW !!!!
you can never get too old to close your eyes and get lost in the music in your imagination man :) it is quite a shame however that ill never get to experience this era of humanity by other means
Good year for house. Albums such as 'In the mix' and Renaissance. Cream anthems and Ibiza resort hitting the lime light. Bring us DJ gods such as Tong, Cox, Oakenfold, Sasha, Faversham ,Paul Tall, Lisa 'Pin Up' Lashes, and many more including the New york connection with Dave Clarke and Leeds Back to Basics. Great era for Deep dish House and Trance.
Great memories. I had the cd too. Remember copying to cassette to take on hols (yes you could still find cassette tapes in HMV (Just!))... Kudos for posting this great mix. Goa for me though tops it x
Takes me back to Friday nights at the Zap Club in Brighton back in the day! I had to sell the CD some years ago when I fell on hard times for a bit. My mixes in order descending order: Sasha, Cox, Oakenfold, Tong. Cheers for the upload mate

They just don't make mixes like this anymore... I miss the golden age. T,T
At 29 years old and in my dance prime ..smashing the floors laaarge
you almost feel wasted after all these years by just listening to these tunes \o/
So many memories I bloody it all 4 all these xx
Yep can't beat these 90s tunes and no matter how many DJs try n mash them up today they ll never beat the beats & bass of these tunes no way. 💃💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺💃🕺🕺💃
