James Hype - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix - Filmed live in London

As a guy who grew up listening to BBC Radio 1 this is really epic. I filmed my first ever BBC Radio 1 Essential mix in my studio in London so you can watch it.
This is a tiny selection of the music that has excited and inspired me over the years i've been a DJ. This set might be something different to what people expect from me, for me the Essential Mix is about the music so i let it breathe some more.
Let me know what you think in the comments!
Enjoy the journey.
