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.

Anti-Telly Time

Anti-Telly Time

With Chee. The main objective of Anti-Telly Time is to give listeners a giggle and a smile. There’s music from local bands through to obscure sounds, and music that makes you dance against your will. Sometimes spoken-word and other non-music delights will pop up, with guests on occasion. It’s a party and you’re invited.

The Friday Modulation

The Friday Modulation

With Jim. Playing all the very best in mod, ska, punk and indie, it’s probably the best thing you can do on a Friday night with your clothes on.

The Way of Things

The Way of Things

Presented by John Tron Davidson, Dragon and The Spring. The Way of Things shares all the records that we’ve found, been told about, and loved.

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!

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!

Pete’s Sunday Show

Pete’s Sunday Show

Magazine style show – pop/rock/electronica music with intersticed segments: 1) Community Spotlight, featuring pre-recorded interviews with local good causes and interesting people 2) Tips and life hacks – quick and useful techniques or ways or doing things 3) Out and about: shoutouts for events and happenings in the local area 4) Ask Auntie Pete – ability for people to ask questions either live via email or in advance and get best answers on a range of topics. Tone is relaxed and fun – musical tone is upbeat and energetic without being too frenetic as it’s a Sunday. Nothing political and nothing likely to cause friction. We’re here to entertain and recognise folks doing good stuff out there!

    The Vanishing Point
    Vanishing point is a continuous mix show presented by Phil Cook. Its about playing music I love to anyone who will listen and is inspired by the shows I listen to and the mixtape culture I grew up with. The show has no plan so I go with my gut. Expect House, disco, funk, soul, jazz, afro and electronica but to be honest I could play anything at any time.
