For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.

This is the essential mix on Radio 1, a program designed to keep the party rocking until the twilight hours.
At no personal expense to you (well maybe about a twentieth of a half a P, if you pay your license fee) we present the worlds greatest DJs to play a superior selection of tunes in your very own front room, or wherever we happen to find you at two in the morning. Maybe someone else’s front room, eh?
Anyway, this week is no exception, as we are pleased to present two french blokes, Thomas and Guy-Manuel. If you haven’t noticed, they are already the hottest thing since sliced bread. Or, sliced pain, I suppose. This week’s essential mix is by Daft Punk.
