Your essential guide to the very best dance music released in the year 2001!

Pete dives into the sound of 2001 — a year defined by superclubs, new genres, and era-defining anthems. Expect tracks from Groove Armada, Faithless, Basement Jaxx, and Kings of Tomorrow, plus a special live Café Mambo performance from Sian Evans of Kosheen. And in the Radio 1 Dance Rewind, Pete uncovers a legendary 'Heroes of 2001' Hot Mix crafted by Daft Punk.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 1 Dance.
