Rave Down Radio
Radio stations on a bank holiday always have some kind of chart rundown therefore I thought I’d do something similar and see who are the most popular artists I regularly play on the show. This week’s show is a run down of the top 30 on streaming sites. To qualify any artist or band just […]

The 2010s wasn’t just about ugly politics, social media and skinny jeans, it was also the decade that saw shoegaze be taken seriously again. This was mainly due to the success of bands such as Beach House and DIIV alongside reunions from the original bands whom went on to release new material. This show looks […]

This show goes back to the mid-noughties as we look back at the revival of shoegaze. With the emergence of the internet there were various fan led scenes focusing on eras of music the press had previously written off, Nu gaze was the name given to the shoegaze revival, there was also nu disco, nu […]
2020 stopped us all in our tracks which has made music so much more important. Below is a round-up of the best tunes of the year from me, all of which you’d have heard on the radio show. Daniel Avery & Alessandro Cortini – Illusion of Time This sounds just so incredibley moving when you’ve […]

Another week, another show and on this one we celebrate Adorable’s debut album from 1993. Against Perfection was the right album released at the wrong time to be successful, too late to be part of the Shoegaze scene and too early (and too good) for Britpop! Netherless it’s a great album that sounds even better […]
