Rave Down Radio
At this time of year we hear the same old songs everywhere we go and usually by the time Christmas arrives (after hearing Band Aid for the 50th time) you feel like you’re going crazy. This show aims to play some of the tracks you’re less likely to hear in the supermarket or daytime radio. […]
As a child albums of cover versions were normal before the Now That’s What I Call Music! series came along and changed everything. Loads of these albums were sold in Woolworths and despite the awful music sold well, maybe the Dads bought them for the sleeve! Cover versions don’t have to be rubbish and this […]
Following the terrible news that Mimi Parker from Low has died this show starts an ends with two of my favourite tunes by the band. We also featured the Spiritualized version of Lord Can You Hear Me? by Spacemen 3 with Mimi sang backing vocals on. There’s also a track from the new 4EPs album […]
In this show we focus on dreampop which Wikipedia tells me “emphasizes atmosphere and sonic texture as much as pop melody.” Expect to hear tunes from Lush, Cocteau Twins, Beach House, The Beach Boys, Low, Julee Cruise, Mazzy Star, Slowdive, Sigur Ros, A Sunny Day In Glasgow, The Duritti Column and Galaxie 500.
Every year we hear the same old songs, whilst for some people this brings them real joy hearing Wham! and Slade again for others there is a sense of dread about hearing the same tunes again and again.

First show after a couple of weeks off and there are plenty of new tunes to play. There’s also the incredible new album by Low. Their 13th album Hey What is our featured album of the week and one of the best, we play tracks throughout the show. There’s also new releases from the like […]
It’s that time of year again where you hear the same songs in every shop and on every commercial radio station. We hear them every year and those songs by Shakin’ Stevens, Mariah Carey, Slade, etc… can really drive you mad. For this week’s show there’s a selection of alternative Christmas tunes to make the […]
This week’s show features the debut album from BDRMM as our album of the week. Bedroom is one of the most exciting debut albums in recent times and we play a couple of tracks. We also preview a track from the forthcoming Dissident Remixed album by Glok due out in August. Maps have remixed the […]
