This is mad. 10 years. Honestly, did any of you think we’d make it THIS far? Did anyone think we’d still be this shambolic? Should we have had one show in 10 years with no self-inflicted problems?

For this show we picked songs from 1991 to celebrate the show’s birthday. Shout-out to everyone that sent us suggestions. We really appreciate it!

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

It must be being a regular listener. Sometimes the show’s up on a Monday morning ready to soundtrack you taking on another working week. Other times, it’s a Thursday evening and there’s still no sign of an upload.

Anyway, here is Sunday’s show. It’s a doozy. Mainly as it’s got a smokin’ hot excerpt from Pete “Spinning Jazz” Evans’ set at the Sheffield Live! fundraiser a few weeks ago. Wrapped around that heat is the usual gubbins/bobbins from the two of us.

It’s show #407. You know what that means? You don’t? Ah, perhaps we should have hyped it up more. It’s Small Records Week* on The Night Train. 10 shows ago, we did a Global Sounds on 45 that was all P. This week, it’s all S playing records he’s got that aren’t from England or The US.

Hopefully back next week with a standard show. As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!

Strike when the iron’s hot. Or as we like to say, upload the show on Sunday night when you can’t sleep. There’s a lot of benefits to doing it now and not procrastinating on it for a few days. The biggest one is that the Listen Again Crew that are up to date with the backlog won’t be badgering us over WhatsApp or in the street to do the upload.

So, here it is. Steve said it was a struggle to make, we don’t think that comes across on the airwaves. We do enjoy doing the show, we promise!

The best thing about this show is that 30 minutes of it has nothing to do with us. It’s Dubcentral’s Mr Meerkat from the station fundraiser a few weeks ago. 

Wrapped around that is the usual good stuff that we like to share.

It must be the end of the summer as we’re both in the studio! For the first time in a while. Press play to find out why we’ve been doing solo shows (SPOILER ALERT… it’s not that interesting).

To make sure we didn’t make any massive mistakes, it’s a standard show. Some dance-y stuff to begin with. A discomix in the middle and then a slow reduction in BPMs to finish the show.

There probably won’t be a (live) show on Sunday but we’ll try and dig something out to upload next week.

Evening. Steve here. Originally, I had planned to do a weirdo show for #401. Two hours of challenging music. Then I realised it was a Bank Holiday Weekend which is when we tend to have a few more live listeners. Felt a bit mean to hit ‘em with 120mins of music that some would call “unlistenable”. Instead, inspired by a post on Bsky by a pal who declared it to be a 1994 weekend, I thought “I’ll just take some records into the studio from that year and see what happens. This show is what happened.
