BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix 2004: Recreated by Tony McGuinness - Livestream DJ set [

[@aboveandbeyond]

There were some issues with the original livestream, so we apologise for the laggy visuals. Hope you enjoy the tunes!

[@joeramosKillerKoolaid]

love you guys!!! thanks for this!

[@combitz]

Always :)

[@pacosteaa]

- I hope this message will get to Tony and the rest. You said 2 weeks ago that you will revive Trance Around The World 225. We still wait for that mate. Cheers with a cold beer from a sunny London!

[@bobbiwalker5868]

Overwhelmed 😍

[@1212potach]

I was 16 years old back then lol, stay safe everybody :)

[@notoriousgeezers1963]

If we ever make contact with life from another planet, this mix is how we should welcome them.

[@XlopPS2]

Back to basics i see .... The golden age of trance right here :)

[@Robbins996]

It’s not hard to see how this won EM of the year. There are so many all time classics in here. I’m just gutted that I wasn’t old enough to appreciate this incredible era of trance.

[@Matt463634]

Check out John 00 Fleming's 2 essential mixes, 2001 and 2010

[@arijitbhowmick175]

This is pure trance. As time goes by and the music scape changes, hope that Above and Beyond keeps this classic melodic trance alive...'cause this is what hooked us to Trance music. Much appreciated 😊

[@markhardcastle9820]

They were very much part of popularising trance. And unfortunately jumped onto a different bandwagon when it started to decline.

[@Ironic_Travels]

the best essential mix to date in my humble opinion 👌

[@638DESTRUCTION]

How am I just seeing this? The YT algorithm shined upon me today. I remember listening to this one live. This and Infusion’s EM were my favs of 2004, and continue to be some of my favs of all time!

[@IngoMunizSabage]

White Room - White Room (Liquid Asset), pure feeling. A real masterclass.

[@nickcastro3405]

still amazing

[@aqua_Laura]

Yasss. Love noughties trance that's when I fell in love. Classic trance right here!!!

[@Innersoul1]

The beginning and end of this mix are absolutely legendary! Talk about setting the mood and leaving an impression. What more could we expect. Pure class!

[@burtonxc]

This is the A&B sound that got me hooked. Looking forward to being at a live set like this one day soon!

[@zero131056]

The mix that made me fall in love with Trance. 15 years ago.

[@cartmanbruh23]

Thank you for the set. We do miss the vintage A&B! Hope to hear more trancey tracks and less "verbose club tracks".. Plz...

[@eArtrash]

I was lucky enough to be 17 when this mix came out, I remember blasting the burned CD repeatedly in my vauxhall Corsa, driving up and down the a9 to/from college in the summertime, it would pass the time immensely and take me on a wild journey. That first track always blew my mind especially. So much love for above and beyond! Had some dirt devil tunes on 12" too I believe! Glad to see you guys still rockin in 2023! Keep on keeping on!

[@tiffanypennington1987]

I remember hearing this in highschool in 2004 and it changed my life.

[@Irina-fr7oe]

omg! that's my favorite episode of all the time! 10 years i've been listening this amazing essential mix! thank you, Tony

[@michaelhalim1166]

Magic... one of the best essential mix until today... the dialogue on the beginning of the set was surreal...

[@888Vader]

I have wanted to buy this for YEARS!! Thank you for publishing finally, this mix is brilliant in so many ways.

[@markhardcastle9820]

Why didn’t you download it? It’s been available online for free for 19 years.

[@lacitafleming]

Today I’ve come back for more, I love your mixes! They’re so beautiful and take me away 😍🥰😘

[@JtnLpz]

What I loved the most about this re-creation was the fact that Tony perfectly transitioned Planisphere' Symphotek into Oliver Prime's Radiance just like the original mix. One of the greatest transitions of all times.

[@sliewood]

Uh.... What were you expecting.... A cock-up?

[@peterrainman]

@@sliewood the mix between those two is rather hard to make, especially thins smooth way ;)

[@mediaroombasement2786]

WOW! What an absolutely brilliant idea. I remember listening to this back in the day. Pete Tong had so many great sets on the BBC Essential mix, but this set REALLY stood out. This still holds up today and continues to be brilliant. Amazing. Thank you

[@KillswitchFTW]

Scintilator - The Festival - Still sounds as good as it did 16 years ago.

[@MikeJackson690]

Back when remixing Britney Spears was a big deal. Really was a long bloody time ago! Loving the lockdown fan service, Anjuna! Great stuff. Just listening to the intro and I think the same issues of 2004 apply today, no doubt.

[@igfernando2007]

I was just getting into Trance... or lets say trance was starting to change my world.... this set is a classic!

[@rickmansworthchurchcleanin4542]

The 2004 Essential Mix is one of the best essential mixes of all time. I get goosebumps listening to it again. I loved the the haunting vocals and Hollywood clips. I was working hard for my for my degree in London and this just transported me to another dimension. You guys are amazing. Big love.

[@ajvboston1]

I remember this one! Thank You A&B! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@markhudson5718]

So pleased this is now on KZbin 👍 - thank you Tony

[@drraghunath83]

thought this was another 3rd party recorded version. Went and looked back at the publisher after seeing your comment. Long live Anjuna!

[@matthewwestinoz]

Love this. Hammered this on tape in my car! Loved it then...love it now! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@lewisblank9475]

This was a game changer back in the day when 2 hour mixes from a DJ were still super rare and I loved this mix x

[@markhardcastle9820]

Game changer? 2 hour mixes rare in 2004? What are you talking about? It was a good mix tho

[@lacitafleming]

I came here for healing and I AM much appreciative 🙏🏾❤️💫

[@Lightemup2005]

Wow, I have listened to the original version A&B Essential Mix regularly ever since it was first aired on my, then MP3 player and later on my phone. My go to set for a nostalgic trip back to the good old days. Still haven’t been topped in my view. This set me up as a lifelong fan of A&B. Thank you, Tony, Paavo and Jono.

[@jimbob5399]

Thank you, incredible sounds, nearly 50 and loving it all again!

[@strom99nonce]

Fantastic idea & execution. Still cherish my original OTA recording of this fabulous EM... Got me hooked into A&B, still a great fan of your music today !

[@jplewis01]

This has ever since it played on the Ess Mix been my Favorite GoTo Trance Set EVER! I have Jealously guarded my original over the air recording. It was amazing then and still THE BENCHMARK for sets of the era!

[@___-dj2dw]

if you compare them, how good is this remake?

[@jplewis01]

@@___-dj2dwSo far (48:00mins) this is definitely as good as the original!!!

[@protiek]

These comments make me feel so good! I was 14 when I first heard this mix and have listened to A&B ever since. It really is an amazing set

[@Star5dg]

Wow this takes me back to the good days 🙂

[@JTranceMissionL]

Thanks tony for your work

[@bojanb4764]

I've listened to this mix so many times and the way Pete Tong says "they've scored themselves a date with... Britney Spears" always cracks me up :D

[@kfordham281]

Love this mix! This has been in the background as I work from home during the pandemic. I think I'm on listen 10 or so right now. lol.

[@LucasGoon]

What a euphoric mix! Epitomizes trance music for me! Keep up the good work :)

[@angusgibbins4954]

What is the story behind the tracks "Troubles In The World" and "Essential"? Where are these people now... almost 2 decades later

[@joekerrthejoker]

Any chance you will do a 20th anniversary version? Love this mix and can’t believe I’ve been coming back to this over and over since I first heard it with my friends in uni. Thanks for keeping this and the other upload around for us to enjoy.

[@Kdreh123]

This essential mix really is essential to me cuz this is when I actually fell in love with Trance and A&B. Loved listening to the Trance Around The World podcast that formed into Group Therapy. Thank you for so many great memories. Love you guys!

Какой же транс был раньше сочный, мелодичный! Просто оргазм для ушей! А сейчас...Вроде и звук качественный и мелодии красивые и новые технологии применяются. Но что то не то...Не задевает душу что ли. Лишь парочка треков из сотни доставляют удовольствие. Вся остальная масса- послушал и забыл.

[@mahafarsi3509]

Может ассоциации с молодостью?) Такое восприятие часто связывают с прошлым, с воспоминаниями, какие то приятные события может .... Поэтому кажется, что было раньше лучше😉☺️

Wow. Amazing to hear again! Great to see you do it live! Listening to A&B since 2003/04 and onwards back when you guys could do smaller venues also. Had the luck and privilege to visit after those smaller shows back in those days. Still have my UK flag on my wall that all 3 of you signed for me with the Anjuna logo one of you drew in the center. Definitely not as young as a I was back then, but still gives the me the same enjoyment. Thanks for all the memories and amazing tunes you all continue to make. Truly a classic set.
