He makes a BBC Essential Mix of course... Duh.

This mix is as big as you can get for Tensnake. Almost reaching 2 hours, the mix is filled with eclectic Dance tunes, all giving off that Tropical yet at the same time Euro vibe, that he has become very known for. And what's more, looking at the tracklisting - it's full of tracks I guarantee you haven't heard.

And that's what is probably the best part. The fact that this mix not only will lift you from your mid-week funk, but will also give you a solid list of Artists to check out in the near future. Throw in some exclusive unreleased material from Tensnake himself - and we're done here.
