  • #234 The Loft (21st March 2021)

    Around a year ago would have been the 50th anniversary of the David Mancuso throwing his 1st Love Saves The Day party at The Loft. It was the first show that fell foul of us not being allowed in the studio so it's been languishing on a HD for a year.

    Well, now is the time to enjoy it! Listen in wonder to tales from NYC. A fine mix of music is awaiting you. All you gotta do is press play!

    Do you know, it feels like so long since this was broadcast, can't really remember what was on the show. This means we're gonna have to listen again on a speed-run. Wonder what the show would sound like at +8.

    One thing we did talk about was TNT Top Trumps. Suggestions appreciated. Get in touch nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets.

    There may or may not be a show this week... at the time of press it was TBC. We have loads of "classic" shows that we can upload though so don't worry, we won't leave your ears alone.

  • Salute To The Sisterhood for International Women's Day!

    In a break from our scheduled programming, we bring you our 1st volume of "Salute to The Sisterhood" from 2018 to celebrate International Women's Day!


    We've removed our waffle as the last thing this day (or any day TBH) needs is two men talkin' nonsense.


    As today is IWD, here are a few presenters/shows that are way better than us that you should check out...

  • #232 (28th Feb 2021)

    Well this is embarrassing. Due to a mistake by Steve, the upload we sent to Greg at Sheffield Live was full of silence. Not cool silence like 4′33″ by John Cage, but actual radio silence. This means that the emergency sustain cut in and played (at points), America, Nirvana and Coldplay. Worse than that, it might have set an alarm off and woke up the station manager.

    So, we've fixed it now and we're uploading the show here while it's still going out. What a shambles.

    If we're allowed back on the station, we'll be back next week with less silence and mistakes.

    Please get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at;

    nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets.

    Finally, a normal show! It feels like it's been forever. We don't do it on purpose, we promise. Back on the airwaves and Information Superhighway with show number 231. For unknown reasons*, there is no new music this week, just old music. But don't let that put you off.

    There's harps, early 90's break-beats, Brasilian breaks, hot chat and a few anniversary picks. Also, for the Remember! You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at;

  • #230 Down in New Orleans... (14th Feb 2021)

    Hi everybody! What you're lookin' at here is our 2hr tip of the hat to New Orleans. We did it for a number of reasons, the most important being that we remembered to do it in time for Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Pancake Day. We cover lots of ground here, takin' in a number of different styles from The Big Easy and music from the last 90ish years and even an Ant-Valentines Day mini-mix for the broken-hearted.

    Remember! You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at;

    nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain on the tweets.

    Please do, as this means we have something to mention when we're recording links. Some ideas are... where you're listening from, what you enjoyed, what your other half said about the nonsense we play. That kinda thing!

  • #229 Donuts and '06 Dubstep (7th Feb 2021)

    Good Morning all you lovers of great music and hot chat. It's time for another edition of The Night Train. The other day we mentioned that we'd been doin' a lot of theme shows and this week is a 241!

    To celebrate 15 years since the release of J Dilla's "Donuts" and "Anti-War Dub by Digital Mystikz we've sprinkled some Dilla delights throughout the show and Powlo's dusted off his dubstep wax for a 30 minute 2006 rinseout.

  • #228 Back to Business (31st Jan 2021)

    After a month of theme shows, it's back to normal for this week. What you won't be able to tell is that there were multiple problems but due to our editing skillz, it's a seamless show.

    We play some new-ish stuff, some random stuff and some stuff that didn't make it into the last few them shows.

  • #227 TNT is 18 again... again! (24th Jan 2021)

    Despite nobody asking for it, we're back with a part two of our trip down memory lane. Back to a time of tapes in cars, youthful adventures and having way too much time on our hands.

    Those with a keen ear will notice that Steve's got a new mic. But to be honest, we're not sure if anyone listens. We're not entirely sure anyone reads these blurbs. Perhaps we should run some sort of competition.

  • #226 TNT is 18 again! (17th Jan 2021)

    During Lockdown #2, we restarted our Album Club with a "Album released when you were 18" round. It got us thinking, what else were we listening to when we were 18. Well, here is a snapshot of what was playing in our car stereos, Minidisc players, Walkmen etc.

    Some of it is from '99. Some of it is from 2000. Some of it is from earlier. All in all, it's a decent snapshot of what the two of us were bumpin' at the time. Hope you enjoy it as much as 18 year old Paul and Steve would!
