Your essential guide to the very best dance and electronica from the year 2019!

We’ve landed in 2019 - a time when dance festivals were hitting their peak, and artists like Michael Bibi, Peggy Gou, and Fred again.. were just beginning their rise to global stardom. Looking back on the year, Pete revisits standout moments from CamelPhat, Meduza, Robert Surace, Patrick Topping, KH, TSHA and more. Plus, there’s another chance to hear a 30-minute excerpt from Cassius’ 2019 Essential Mix - their final outing as a duo following the passing of co-founder Philippe Zdar just a few weeks following its broadcast.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 1 Dance.
