Your essential guide to the very best dance music to be released in the year 2003!

Step back to 2003 with Pete as he relives a defining year in dance music - a time when live events reached new heights, UK garage was evolving into grime and dubstep, and trance was turning darker and more progressive. While legendary 90s acts fought to keep their crowns, fresh talent like David Guetta was beginning to rise.

Expect tracks from The Chemical Brothers, Mark Ronson, Tomcraft, Groove Armada, Junior Jack, and more. Plus, in the Radio 1 Dance Rewind, we hit the dance floor at Space Ibiza in 2003, where Carl Cox is live behind the decks.
