My name is Guilherme and I present the program playing Brazilian music. Ranging from Bossa Nova, popular, great hits, instrumental, samba, a lot of lively music.

The Decades Show

The Decades Show

With Christian Brook. The Decades Show aims to find music from across the past ten decades that will appeal to anyone who was into the alternative scene in the 80s – basically anything from the 1910s to yesterday!

The Joe Crow Show.

The Joe Crow Show.

The Joe Crow Show, with me presents a wide spectrum of tunes – from the late 60’s to the present day – some rock, pop, folk-rock, britpop, electronica and some contemporary-classical – and with a ‘talky bit’ here and there, there is something for everyone!

Marian’s mix

Marian’s mix

I play popular tracks from the 50s to the present day, with some classical and country. I’d like people to feel happy and able to sing along – and feel they want to hear the next track.

What’s the Score?

Brought to you by Gordon.

Every Now And Then

Every Now And Then

Various musics with Matthew, every now and then, a bit of skateboarding, surf or bike chat, sometimes Devon related, sometimes not.

Insightful Curiosity

Insightful Curiosity

I explore topics in philosophy, science and technology that I think listeners would want to know more about, plus there’s a sprinkling of my favourite tunes. My show is for anyone who’s curious about this strange universe we live in. You’ll be entertained, but also come out of the show feeling like you’ve learned something. You might end up seeing the world in a new light.

Emergent Unsigned Radio Show

Presented by Jason Maddocks. Playing Unknown, Unsigned and Emerging artists from around the world.

Ewan’s Mixed Bag

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!”

The Blue Room

The Blue Room

The Blue Room is a space to play and discuss the deeper and more emotional side of dance music. From house & electro to garage & jungle. 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.

    Electric Avenue & Hip Hop Time Machine
    A four-hour show in two halves. The first two-hours is ECELCTIC AVENUE, a real mix of all things old, new, unreleased in genres as disparate as the stars, such as: funk, jazz, nu-jazz, soul, hip hop, house, folk, singer-songwriter, indie, alt-rock, 80s synth pop, pop music, rockabilly, reggae, dub and more... The second hour is dedicated to Hip Hop and Electro from the 1980s (the lense being 1979-1992). I want to focus on the eras of Hip Hop that forged the styles we have today, the unfashionable eras, the one-hit wonders, the origins of todays titans, as well as putting these early rap tracks in the context of early house music, and other genres which splintered out.
