Your essential guide to the very best and electronica from the year 2017!

Pete Tong turns back the clock to 2017, a year when EDM was still dominating globally while a fresh wave of tech house and underground sounds began taking over clubland. He digs into the archives to revisit some of the year’s biggest tracks from both the charts and the dance floor, including music from Bicep, CamelPhat, Fisher, Patrick Topping and The Blaze.

Along the way, Pete revisits his final interview with Avicii, recorded after the Swedish DJ returned to music following his decision to step back from touring. There are also exclusive live performances from Disciples and KiNK, recorded at Maida Vale, plus a back-to-back set with Nic Fanciulli from Miami Music Week that year.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 1 Dance.
