Claptone - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix 25.04.2015

About the Artist

Broadcast on 25 April 2015 on BBC Radio 1. Two hours, 51 tracks, one continuous arc across house, tech house and deep house. The Essential Mix gives its guests two hours without conditions, and what an artist does with that time is the statement. Claptone used it to show the work that goes into a set that sounds effortless.

The mix moves through Don't You Want My Love by Kenny Dixon Jr., through When The Night Is Over by The Magician feat. Newtimers in Claptone's own remix, and through two of his works with Jaw, Secret Lover and the acappella of No Eyes. In the weeks around this date, Patrick Topping and Julio Bashmore were on the schedule. Beyond the Essential Mix, Claptone runs his own show, Clapcast, on DI.FM. In 2020 he returned for a second Essential Mix, built with Pacha Ibiza and drawn from his residency there, The Masquerade.
