  • #415 New Year, Same Us (11th Jan 2026)
    Jan 12 2026

    Evening all. Yesterday’s show for your listening consideration. The first of 2026. Still the same though. New music, old music, new old music, old new music. Hot chat, recommending shows on other stations and all sorts of other nuggets of goodness. We will say, this has been uploaded in a bit of a hurry, so if there’s any mistakes, please let us know.


    We will say, there are excellent show notes this week. Well worth wasting some time on.

    Dec 30 2025

    Here's the 411... last week was big records, this week it was small records. It's late, I've got a cold and I need to get to bed as we're up late tomorrow Djing in Leeds (oooo, check us out). As such, there's very little show notes. If there is something we talked about that you want a link for, just message and we'll get back to you.

    Season’s greetings. Coming in just under the wire, a nice Christmas present for you to soundtrack your wrapping and cooking. As is tradition, we finish the year with a look at what we’ve purchased on wax over the last 12 months. This is part 1, big rekkids. LPs and 12”s. Next week, all being well, it’ll be little records.


    Have a good festive period, whatever you end up doing. As always though, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!
