DJs like this don't really exist any more, he's mixed it so well you can't tell where one song stops and another begins and they all sound like new remixed versions of the songs. That's true skill, anyone can simply crossfade a song into another but what Sasha does here is the real deal.

+TriGGletyplay you've defeated your own argument, this was all done on vinyl, not mp3.

This mix came shortly after the 1st ever "Essential Mix Live" which was at Que Birmingham in May '95. The track lists are very similar. I was privileged to be there that night in Brum and I can still recall every second of it now, all these years later. I don't know which mix was was better, but I think maybe the Que one because it was absolutely live on Radio 1 - no room for error - and was in the middle of a huge Oakenfold, Tong and Rampling session at the height of all their careers. Honestly feel so honoured to have been there.

There are lots of great patchwork quilts, but no one does silky satins like Sasha. 🤩

Totally agree; Sasha was in his element in the early 1990s

The first two tracks will show you how good the mix is going to be.

The man like Sasha ,oooh it takes having a special gift to be able to mix vinyl like that ,pure class not many today could step up and create what he did magnificent

Sublime mixing BT into Blue Monday. .. wow

was at a Creamfields with Oakenfold and Sasha one after the other (6hour set) I paid £30 for the ticket!! Just let that sink in😶

Showcasing so many fantastic BT productions/remixes, especially the killer mix of Shiva "Freedom." Never gets old.

Amazing set, Northern Exposure for me live was just the ultimate, good times!

On a serious Sasha trip at present, keeping finding more and more, pure heaven

i remember the sasha tent at cream fields around 2000 absolutely frigging amazing

A work of art; truly timeless...........

Played the fucking shit out of this tape back in the day, driving to The Hacienda and Cream at the weekend and then back at after parties; by far his best ever mix, head and shoulders above the rest. The BT/Quat untitled track is called Heart of Imagination, his mix into this after Mozaic is beyond sublime..............

I was 20 and at uni at the time, big RnB, New Jack Swing fan. I then went to Golden on 17/06/95 to see Sasha with some mates, big bus journey, had no idea what was coming, and that night changed my life immeasurably. I managed to get hold of this Essential Mix the next day and my progressive journey had well and truly began….

Music will never be like this again guaranteed

2nd only to his cd2 on global underground live in san francisco for me. awesome.

I played this to death over and over at Uni, 95 and 96 until I got sick of it and wore the tape out, then just revisited 20 years later, forgot about BT Heart of Imagination, great to hear that again, excellent track and mix. Total appreciation of this classic mix. Things will never be the same

The year the Hardfloor remix of Blue Monday was release - oh fuck me WHAT A YEAR!

This is just f'n awesome! Utter quality Sasha.....

This man along with Oakenfold for me made my early 90s...❤

sorry i'm going on here but that mix from blue amazon to mosaic is just one of the best apologies no one from before 1995 .....

what a guy sasha fucking legend

I remember the night well! Well sort of... ;) Class!

Cheers, up there with one of the best Essential mixes.

This set is like hearing Gods voice for the 2nd time!! His 1994 Ess Mix is like hearing it for the first time. But I never went to Shelley's so maybe I'm wrong ..lol

18:30 freaking amazing! come back to america and do it all again! Northern exposure guys. watching you has forever inspired me - LIFE!!!!

been sat round looking for old sets to go out running to, remembered going to this all those years back & so glad i found it & thanks for putting it on - got it on tape somewhere as a mate recorded for me - happy memories - just about

This is pure quality. #rushing

Early 90's Sasha ruled for sure but like many DJs as well as many artists, in time, he seemed to slowly fizzle out and to have less creativity left in him but man... i enjoyed 'my best of'...

was a huge shame about sasha he was smashing it up until about 91 92 but all of a sudden he went from playing really emotive sets quite funky in places to playing this dead pan progressive stuff and it really didnt wash with a lot of people. but of course by that time his name was a name..... and so it goes.

I LIKE the fuckin MAFIA@!!!! BEING HELD HOSTAGE N ALL THAT!!! AS TOUGHENED ME UP!!!

ho lee crap.

The majority of this mix was taken/inspired by sasha from the 1994 mix of DJ Keoki journeys by dj. Sasha should not be credited for all the good mixes in this set!
