A BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix is one of the highest honours that can be given to any DJ, recognising them as a leader in their field and sharing the magic they produce on the turntables with millions round the globe. In the past two years Eddie Halliwell has already completed two Essential Mixes and come Saturday 7th August he will feature again at the BBC Radio 1 in Ibiza Weekend. An annual highlight of the schedule, this year Radio 1 in Ibiza runs Thursday 5th - Sunday 8th August. It sees the station's weekend schedule completely turned over to dance music with shows transmitted live from the White Isle. As ever the highlight is a specially extended 5 hour Essential Mix, which is being broadcast from the world renowned Cream at Amnesia in front of over 5000 clubbers. This marks Eddie's first "official duties" as a new Radio 1 Resident and alongside him are three other high flyers: original Cream resident and the man the Guinness Book of Records lists as "The World's Biggest DJ", Paul Oakenfold; ex-Radio 1 stalwart and promoter of top London night "Type", Seb Fontaine; and exciting young house impresario Nic Fanculli, who has also been handed the Radio 1 Resident mantle. This caps a huge 12 months which has seen Eddie winning "Mixmag DJ of the Year 2003"; being voted 20th best DJ in the world in the official DJ Mag Top 100 Poll; and racking up air miles playing gigs in Australia, Canada, Egypt, Ibiza, Japan, Russia, Taiwan and the USA to name but a few! Extended Essential Mix: This Saturday Night / Sunday Morning 0.00 - 5.00 If your weekend activities will prevent you listening to the mix live you will be able to "Listen Again" on the Radio 1 website during the following week.
