| Andrew Morrison - January 2025 As is Andy's regular New Year's tradition, his January show has a selection of his favourite tracks from the previous year. You'll hear 2024 gems from MGMT, Sjöblom, GLOK & Timothy Clerkin, Lambrini Girls, Alan Sparhawk, Epic45, Arab Strap, Deary, Ride, Kelly Lee Owens, Honesty, A Certain Ratio, and many more. It's not all repeat plays though - 10 of the 25 tracks in the two-hour show are ones that Andy hasn't previously played in his shows. Andy also features in two co-hosted shows in this month's schedule: the official 2024 Festive Fifty listeners' poll results countdown; and January's '2024 Review' show, picking some more of his favourites from last year alongside his fellow DJs.

| Rocker - January 2025 A two hour from Rocker this month, featuring new tracks from Surfing Pointers; Young Scum; Swansea Sound; Mt Misery; Sissy Space Echo & The Invisible Collaborators; The Reds, Pinks & Purples; and Holy Vision. There's new electronica from Johannes Klingebiel; Extrawelt; James Harcourt; and Vintage Culture remixed by Solomun. There are tracks from essential reissue compilations from Bristol's The Blue Aeroplanes, and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. There's a track from the forthcoming album by Da Googie and Cara Tivy - featuring Deb Googe of My Bloody Valentine; and a track from a new album from Snowgoose - A Scottish indie supergroup featuring contributions from members of The Soup Dragons, Teenage Fanclub, Belle & Sebastian, BMX Bandits & Arab Strap. This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a seasonal 1934 release from a Canadian-born crooner, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a new record from Hamburg's The Winston Brothers. As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Leon Dinero's single One Way Love, on Daptone, is a reggae version of an R'n'B song originally by James Hunter, which originally came out in 2013 on - you guessed it - Daptone Records. | ||||
