Happy Friday Drivers!
On today’s show I’ve got a nice grab of reggae donuts and 12”s splitting hour one with some drum and bass to take us up until 18h with a little extra on demand for all you streamers.
In hour two we take it back down with some modern spiritual jazz some disco funk and wrap the hour up with some killer latin vibes with a little nod to Barrio Latino RIP.
Hope you enjoy the show and just a little heads up that I’ll be running some reruns from 2021 for the next two weeks!
Thank you for taking the time and spending it with me here.
