Anti-Telly Time

With Chee. The main objective of Anti-Telly Time is to give listeners a giggle and a smile.

It’s a party and you’re invited.

Ewan’s Mixed Bag

With Ewan James. Playing a diverse mix of tracks that really mean something to me, and maybe generate a bit of curiosity and inspiration for my listeners. I go back and forth in time, from the 60s onwards.

The sounds are rooted in underground indie, psychedelic and alternative rock. Not just things that sound good, but perhaps have interesting songwriting angles, challenge conventions, and have an emotional pull.

Most importantly I’m very keen to help make people happy, or happier, in some way. So my show is hopefully an interactive listener experience – with requests very welcome!”

From a Basement on the Hill

Hi, Im James Hudson and I will be playing anything from Robert Johnson to Aphex Twin. I’m going to talk about the music I love, how I found it, the story behind the music and what it means to me. I want my audience to be everyone, anyone who loves great music. I want to make a connection with people through music and maybe introduce them to a song that they haven’t experienced before. I want people to be moved, excited and feel a wide range of emotions. I hope people can build memories with me providing the soundtrack.

My main goal is to share my favourite tunes as well as the artists, labels and culture that surround the dance music scene. I hope to reach a wide range of music enthusiast and believe that most musically led individuals could find something from my show that draws them into a new culture, sound, artist or label. My main goal is to build emotion within my listeners, and help people understand power that dance music has as a listener, as well as talk about how sounds such as blues, house, funk and soul have helped to inspire and continue to progress the sound.
