ECLECTIC AVENUE + HIP HOP TIME MACHINE

ECLECTIC AVENUE + HIP HOP TIME MACHINE

The fourth & fifth Saturday of every month, 8pm to Midnight 
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.

What brought you to Phonic FM?

Heard the call, and answered

What does Phonic FM mean to you?

The freedom to play non-playlisted tracks – to shine a spotlight on unfashionable groups and just dig for good tracks in the gloom of the nation’s record shops

What do you do when you’re not on Phonic FM?

How do radio presenters do it?

We do it when the people say yes
