Hey music lovers! Time to look back on some of our favourite funky flavours from the past twelve months in this extra special 'Best of 2025' Hang Loose show. 
There's a heap of hip-hop in the house, plenty of party beats, some soul, funk and a fat sack of other top tracks that kept us bopping from January to December.

Yo-ville! What up!? You’ve just struck audio gold at the musical mine that is episode #93 of The Allergies Podcast. 

On the show this month we dig up daisy fresh sounds from Gregg Green & Pimpernel Jones, play some funky disco edits from Florence on Cheeba Cheeba Records, and spin the latest heater from Cheeba’s Latin Bros. (No relation). 

Plus, we got a classy ass Tune of The Month from one of the greatest to ever do it, Flevans. And a guest mix and interview with the man with the hottest rap record out there right now, Djar One. 

He stops by to chat it up about his Phill Most Chill collabo LP Deal With It and drops off an exclusive guest mix of funky and fast flavours from that cracker album and other tracks in its mould. 

There’s all that and more. What a way to round out your day. Well, it is The Allergies podcast madam. Let’s go.
