The 6 Mix sets down a challenge every weekend to different guest DJ's to pull together a show which will inspire, shock, educate and make you move your feet. Each week a major name from the dance music scene pulls out current favourites, influences and club floor fillers to bring 6 Music the best in House, Dub, Funk, Hip Hop and Electronica.
On Sunday 2nd February 2003 the first 6 Mix was broadcast, with the repeat show the following Friday evening. The guests presented the show.
From Friday 8th September 2006 the format of the show changed. The Friday repeat show became the only 6 Mix broadcast & the Sunday show became the Listeners 6 Mix.
