 Coolness: 94420 | As the most requested broadcast on BBC Radio One, Paul Oakenfold's Essential Mix can only be described as pioneering. First broadcast on the early morning of December 18, 1994, this unique two-hour DJ set quickly got landed with the name, "the Goa Mix". The sound was predominantly influenced by the Trance parties taking place on the hippie beaches of Goa, India at that time. These Full Moon parties involved European travelers dancing the night away to a sound distinguished by the heavy use of melodies and synthesizers in its structure. This was opposed to the bass lines and groove foundations of House Music that was prevalent in UK night clubs. Goa Trance, as it was termed, also had a faster beat per minute (BPM) than other genres of dance music. However, Oakenfold lightened the harsh, dark sounds of Goa Trance by incorporating European records into this broadcast.
Another thing that set the Goa Mix apart from previous Essential Mixes or DJ Sets was how Paul Oakenfold programmed and produced the set. He merged movie soundtracks and audio samples along with international dance records. This provided more of an audio experience, and a recording that could be played over and over again. While current big-name DJs are doing this as a matter of course now, this was something very new at the time.
