Last Saturday night BBC Radio 1 broadcast Hannah Wants’ debut Essential Mix. And it’s well worth wrapping your ears around…
Introducing the two hour adventure with the same thoughts on the virtue of mixtapes and the timelessness of good music she shared on our UKF Meets episode last year, it’s business from the off as she lights the torch paper with a brand new exclusive cut of her own; a breezy, emotional beats affair fronted by the evergreen tones of Detour City entitled Hidden Love.
As the mix progresses and develops we’re treated to all range of flavours from bass-bruised house to lazer-reaching techno and a fine spattering of UK garage by way of artists such as Dusky, Burial, Mak & Pasteman, Claude VonStoke & Justin Martin, Cropper and a whole stack more. Chopped, blended and laced together with detail and dexterity, Essential Mixes were made for DJs like Hannah… She even manages to include Phil Collins with complete context and panache.
