    #425 - Oddball Purge Vol.12 (5th Apr 2025)
    Apr 18 2026

    Listeners that have been with us a while, will either be rejoicing or lamenting this upload. It’s the return of the 100% strange music show! It’s been a minute since we’ve done one of these, which is a travesty (in some people’s eyes).


    So here it is, 120ish minutes of weird music for you to enjoy/endure.


    No show from us tomorrow (19th April) due to legitimate reasons. We’ll hopefully be back next week with another great show.


    As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

    Don’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.

    #424 with Freakbeat Brónagh's Guest Mix (5th April 2026)
    Apr 6 2026
    Alright party people! A Monday upload that we’ve been putting off all day as it’s been sunny. It was a solo show from Steve, but that’s not the important bit. The important bit is there’s AN AMAZING GUEST MIX THAT YOU NEED IN YOUR EARS. Freakbeat Brónagh’s Land of Make Believe Mix is one for the ages. Don’t panic, we’re going to upload it clean in the week so you don’t have to endure Steve’s dulcet tones and dull chat.Back next week for a standard show. It’s #425 so we could do a weird one. We might, the jury’s out.As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESBeta Band Tour DJ Sethttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/13lIHJIOAP0g7Cc41lDxYE?si=0dff8239e0e340f1#270 Mark Lanegan Tribute - (6th March 2022)https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/270-mark-lanegan-tribute-6th-march-2022/#62 David Axelrod Tribute Show (2nd March 2017)https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/62-david-axelrod-tribute-show-2nd-march-2017/Digable Planets: Noochie’s Live From The Front Porchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuVkDXNaOJwTRACKLISTINGStereo MC's - Ground LevelKing Curtis - Night TrainRichard Berry & The Pharaohs - Have Love Will TravelDeee-Lite - What Is Love?

    Just a quick hello to say, here’s the show. It’s got both of us in the studio which isn’t going to happen again for at least a week. If things go according to plan, Steve will be flying solo on Sunday. It is the Easter Bank Holiday weekend though so if you haven’t got work, do tune in and say hi!This show may or may not work on Mick’s Cloud. There’s a song by DJ Shadow that’s technically 6 songs, so it might get flagged for copyright. If that’s the case, sorry!As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESBeck - Beercan on Whiskeyclone.nethttps://whiskeyclone.net/ghost/songinfo.php?songID=26Diminishing Returns Pt.1 by DJ Shadow by EARS@PEACE | Mixcloudhttps://www.mixcloud.com/afrodamus/diminishing-returns-pt1-by-dj-shadow/DJ Shadow- Diminishing Returns - Pt.2 by CPS SOUNDS | Mixcloudhttps://www.mixcloud.com/cps/dj-shadow-diminishing-returns-pt2/WFMU: Sophisticated Boom Boom with Sheila B.: Playlists and Archiveshttps://wfmu.org/playlists/CFDogpatch on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@dogpatchDogpatchhttps://dogpatch.libsyn.com/DNTEL - Enya Mixes - Boomkathttps://boomkat.com/products/enya-mixesTRACKLISTINGLove - Seven and Seven IsKing Curtis - Night TrainLittle Jimmy Dickens - Take An Old Cold Tater (And Wait)The Creation - Making TimeVerckys et l´Orchestre Vévé -- Ya NiniBeck - BeercanGrandmaster Flash - The MessageFBD Project - The CorePaperclip Minimiser - II A3The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band - I Won't Hurt YouThe Goodies - Sophisticated Boom BoomBrentford All Stars - Greedy GDJ Shadow - Entropy - Intropy + The Third Decade, Our Move + Count and Estimate (feat.
