We are now home to two series of playlists:

The Theme Show – This project is an anthology of songs revolving around a central theme, showcasing a diverse array of musical genres and styles. It first debuted in 1999 as a Shoutcast and then as a Podcast. Over the years, it has evolved into its latest iteration of curated playlists, available on streaming music platforms, making it more accessible than ever.

Dance Music for Old People – Originally titled “Retroactive,” the show draws inspiration from the book and film “High Fidelity.” Echoes of the past intertwine with the sounds of today in a vibrant and high-energy dance mix. Each setlist showcases an electrifying blend of remixes, mashups, cover versions, and interpolations of beloved songs from yesteryear, bringing nostalgia to life on the dance floor.
