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!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESWhat Had Happened Was - PodcastTNT'S EP SpecialBreaks & Bass Fam | MixcloudLennie De Ice Remembered, and the Story of ‘We Are I.E.’Like a Human Flood: Attempting to Uncover the Real Sleng Teng Story | The QuietusAmen and AmensDeep Cuts: The Making of Screamadelica - Audio Media InternationalTNT Birthday ShowsTRACKLISTINGSaint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (A Mix of Two Halves)Organized Konfusion - Fudge Funk (TNT Extended edit)Del The Funky Homosapien - Pissin' on Your StepsA Tribe Called Quest - Check the RhimePete Rock & C.L.

Show 409. A nice blend of new and old music. And some new music that sounds like old music. There’s some reissue stuff and 4 songs featuring slide guitars.Apologies if this blurb isn’t great, it’s a race against time to get this edited and uploaded and shared before it’s Monday.Back next week for the 10th birthday.

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.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.SHOW NOTESAccordion by Madvillain - Dissect - Apple Podcasts“Feel the Music” - an interview with Paul Major - It's Psychedelic Baby MagazineSpinning JazzPete on InstagramTRACKLISTINGRichie Havens - Going Back To My RootsMadvillain - Rhinestone CowboyKing Curtis - Night TrainHunger - Mind MachineBob Edmund - Saturday ThoughtLuke Vibert - HomewerkPicasso - Painted Yellow, MellowMr Scruff - Honeydew (Instrumental)The Staple Singers - New OrleansThe Devilettes - I'll Say YesLarry Davis - I've Been Hurt So Many TimesBuddy Guy - Slop AroundChin's Calypso Sextet - Red TomatoGasper Lawal - JekajoséIkebe Shakedown - No AnswerPete Evans (Spinning Jazz) - Live mix at Grub RecordsThe Wiseguys - Nil By Mouth (TNT tiny chat edit)Yvonne Harrison - Near To YouSven Wunder - Scenic BywaySpiritualized - Take Your TimeRomance - Believe (How Deep Is The Ocean)Aphex Twin - XtalBo Harwood & John Cassavetes - No One Around To Hear It
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.

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.

It’s hump day, what better way to celebrate getting closer to the weekend than to listen to 2 hours of top quality community radio?!?The best thing about this show is that 30 minutes of it has nothing to do with us.

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.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOW NOTESNightmares On Wax DJ KicksRob & Nick from Stereo MCs DJ on The Breezeblock May 2001Tickets: Unity Underground 2nd Birthday - Dillinja, Sully, Dwarde, RAZE | FORGE Sheffield Sat 15 November 2025SHEFFIELD LIVE 25TH BIRTHDAY PARTY FUNDRAISERTRACKLISTINGNemessio - Hey Hey (GarcyNoise Rework)King Curtis - Night TrainNu Genea - SciallàTrio Ternura – A GiraKassa Overall - Check the RhimeMukat Edits - Sassy Afrocentric (Edit)M-Dubs - For Real (Breakbeat Funk Mix) Martyn - ef40Bayless Rose - Frisco BluesSirocco Brothers - The Screaming SkullMr. Complex - VisualizeJennifer Lara - A Change Gonna ComeWrongtom Meets The Rockers - Decaying RhythmJohnny Clarke - Play Fool Fe Get WiseHOUR TWODesert Sessions - Hanging TreeIkebe Shakedown - No AnswerThe Heliocentrics - Hanging by a ThreadDillinja - Deadly Deep SubsFloral Resources - Terra PretaPyramid Blue - La EsperanzaThe Cheers – (I'm Not Ready To) Settle Down smoke point - spawn pointEthel Cain - AntebellumRadiohead - The Morning Bell (In the Dark Version)Field Lines Cartographer - Forever Spheres (Original Mix)worriedaboutsatan - 04 Part 4 (Hamburg)Vineula Girls Choir Of Western Samoa - Aualofa'Aga - Moe Ule Po (Night Bird)Aphex Twin - XtalThe Beach Boys - 'Til I Die [Alternative Mix]
We’ve been promising it long enough, it’s finally happened. A Sunday night/Monday morning upload! Don’t get used to it. It’s happening as Steve can only do it tonight.This show was supposed to happen last week. It didn’t. So it got done this week. There were gonna be two hosts, then there wasn’t. Hopefully it’s turned out ok.

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.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOWNOTESJukebox 45s at Heisthttps://www.facebook.com/events/1494719618377715TRACKLISTINGMary J.

The Bad News: The Sheffield Live website is down so we can’t upload the show with our waffle. So this is the show without us.The Good News: The Sheffield Live website is down so we can’t upload the show with our waffle. So this is the show without us.So this is show #400 and what better way to celebrate the occasion than with a show that doesn’t have either of the hosts on it. A benefit of this is we can upload it in heavyweight 320Kbps. We should say, if you’re not a fan of reggae, best sit this one out.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOWNOTEShttps://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/playlists/shows-on-a-theme/https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTrain/playlists/shows-on-a-theme/https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=221486&ships_from=United+Kingdom&sort=price%2Caschttps://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=221486&ships_from=United+Kingdom&sort=price%2CascTRACKLISTINGJohnny Clarke - Top Ranking (I'm The Toughest)Bunny Lee & The Aggrovators - Higher RankingPrince Jammy - InterfaceBlood Sisters - Ring My BellHorace Andy - Zion GateKing Tubby - Zion Gate DubBarry Brown - From Creation I Man ThereYabby You & The Prophets - Aggression DubJacob Miller - Healing Of The NationInner Circle - Colliebud Cure It (Healing Of The Nation Dub)Triston Palma - Time So HardBunny Lie Lie - Mr CID (12″ version)Barrington Levy - SkylarkingPrince Jammy - Round 4Rhythm & Sound - Mango DriveCornell Campbell & Scientist - Bandulo (12 Mix)Mungo's Hi Fi ft.

Finally! Back in the studio to deliver 2 hours of “fantastic” radio. The summer is always tricky as we’re away more often than we’re on the air. Not that you lot would know, as you’re The Listen Again Crew. We like you though, as you sometimes message us nice things about the show a few weeks after broadcast. Which is nice.This week’s show is a little different. Steve had an existential crisis while making it, so he’s mixed it up. A bit. It’s not massively different.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOW NOTESFu Manchu playing in the Swiss AlpsLo Sound Desert - the origin of desert rock (documentary, 2016)Benji B's Carnival Comedown 2019 by Old School Tapes | MixcloudBombin' - 1987 Documentary About British Graffiti and Hip-Hop CultureAphex Twin: [mostly mellow] for SupremeTRACKLISTINGFu Manchi - Saturn IIIKing Curtis - Night TrainElia y Elizabeth - AlegríaDennis Brown - AfricaDennis Brown - Africa DubJackie Mittoo and The Soul Vendors - Ba-Ba-BoomDJ Shadow - Dark Days (Main Theme)Bunji Garlin – The StruggleBusy Twist - Floor ExcitementMD X-Spress - God Made Me PhunkyJulio Bashmore - Battle For Middle You (Original Mix)Moog Dub - 2562Goldie - Timeless (I.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR PODCAST SET! There wasn’t a show yesterday. We don’t like leaving you with nothing so we thought we’d take this week to hip you to a Bsky pal, Sean, who’s got a show on Love Will Save The Day FM.Sean’s monthly show is called Suspended in Air, which is very good. This isn’t one of those shows though. It’s a one-off he did for Easter. Same as this week, potentially back next week with a show.

Howdy folks. Finally, a normal show! Yes, we’re aware that we’re the ones that keep choosing daft themes. Please look past that. Also, is a show without a theme actually a theme? Who knows?So, the show. You know it’s a gem when there’s extensive homework notes to include for the Listen Again Crew. Honestly though, this stuff is great.

OK. We forgot that this week was going to be 45s show. But, we had already done some prep to make it less painful!The plan for this show was “2 hours of songs from places that aren’t The UK or The USA”. That’s not a very catchy name so we’ve gone for “Global Sounds on 45s” which we can all agree is a MUCH better name.We were both going to be playing records but in the end, Steve made Paul do all the work on the decks while he did show admin. You’ll probably agree that this worked out well.Hopefully we will be back next week with a normal show.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!TRACKLISTINGLetta Mbulu – Mahlalela: 🇿🇦The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band - Raise It Up: 🇩🇪Gitte & Inger – Ud Af Buret (Can't Hide Love): 🇩🇰Sola Rosa Featuring Iva Lamkum – Turn Around: 🇳🇿René Costy – Scrabble: 🇧🇪Flammer Dance Band – Holder Rytme: 🇳🇴Lefties Soul Connection – Organ Donor: 🇳🇱Souleance – Le Chemise: 🇫🇷Jambonne – Jambonne, Jam On: 🇳🇱Konkolo Orchestra – Blue G: 🇨🇭Pat Thomas & Marijata - Let's Think It Over: 🇬🇭Outfit - Theme From Peter Gunn: 🇧🇧Cocotones – Funky Nassau: 🇲🇬Manu Dibango – Soul Makossa: 🇨🇲La Plata Sextette - Mishugina Mambo: 🇵🇷La Pesada - Cumbia Y Tambo (Quantic Remix) (Instrumental): 🇨🇴Gay Philadelphians – Hot Pants Road: 🇹🇹Biddu And The Orchestra – Funky Tropical (UNKNOWN EDIT): 🇮🇳Afro-Train – Tumba Safari (Nik's Mukatsuku Edit): 🇨🇮Ndalani 77 Brothers – Nzaumi: 🇰🇪Oliveira Trio – The Worm: 🇵🇹Guy Du Rosier And His Orchestra - Anatole: 🇭🇹Orquesta Tropicana – Tequila: 🇸🇻Los Robins - Patricia: 🇭🇳Prez Prado - Patricia: 🇨🇺Mulatu Astatké - Yègellé Tezeta: 🇪🇹The Lijadu Sisters - Danger: 🇳🇬El Rego - Se Na Min: 🇧🇯Theo Bylhout - Get Down Cause Ain't Funky: 🇸🇷The Booma Rockers - Soul Food: 🇬🇾Les Ambassadeurs Du Motel De Bamako - Make It Funky: 🇲🇱Quakers Featuring Sampa The Great – Approach With Caution (Stalag Riddim Remix): 🇿🇲Mungo's Hi-Fi with Michael Prophet & Ricky Tuffy - Your Love: 🇯🇲Kalbata & Mixmonster – Prisoner In Love: 🇮🇱Roots Radics - Looking My Love (Version): 🇯🇲
Apologies this is so late. It’s been a busy week! Anyway, less of the excuses and back to the music. Here it is, the much promised Chicken Special! 2hrs of chicken and chicken-related music.

Howdy folks. Here’s our tribute to Sly Stone, who passed away a couple of weeks ago. It’s a bit late but that’s due to reasons that are lost to the midsts of time/are too boring to bring up.We’ve picked some of the hits and some of the (many) songs that sampled him over the years. It’s made with love, despite how ramshackle and under-researched links are. We say in the show, if you wanna know more about the man, you should checkout Questlove’s doc, Sly Lives!As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOWNOTESBreezeblock - Beastie BoysSLY LIVES!

Sunday’s show, finally uploaded for your listening enjoyment. Fresh from our adventure in Chesterfield, 2 hours of pretty decent music. No theme this week. Just the two of us picking a bunch of songs from our “To Play” folder(s). The next show is a bit up in the air as we were tempted to make a Sly Stone Tribute Show but honestly, that just feels like a lot of hard work and we won’t be able to do it justice.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOWNOTESSuspended in Air on lwstd.fmNick Waterhouse DJ Mix for Toronto Soul ClubLetta Mbulu’s In the Music...Purelink Make Ambient Music You Can Believe In | PitchforkTRACKLISTINGJ.V.C.

Morning all. Hope you’re all having a good week. We hadn’t realised the show hadn’t been uploaded. We’ve been too busy with birthday planning, birthday celebrations and looking at 45s we don’t need but need.Anyway, enough of the excuses. Here it is. It’s standard fayre. High energy hour one. Low(er) energy hour two.Hopefully we’ll be back on Sunday. We haven’t really go a choice thanks to how the shows fall and that bl00dy chicken special in July that’s rapidly approaching.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!SHOW NOTESX-O-Dus | Biography | LTM RecordingsA Parrot Dancing to Sean PaulThe show with a Studio One 45's mixWFMU: Monica: Playlist from December 11, 2011The Secret Handshake with Louise T on LWSTD.fmTRACKLISTINGEddie Kendricks - Girl You Need A Change of Mind / (Mr. K Edit)King Curtis - Night TrainRon B - Stitch By StitchGoat + MC Yallah - Nimerudi (Malcolm Catto Remix)Los Disco Duro - Cumbia SampuesanaQuantic - DialectOrkes Lokananta - Nganggo Teklek Nang KrikilanDJ Shadow - Dark Days (Main Theme)Link Wray - Raw-Hide Bob Landers - Cherokee Dance The Flying Hats - ForwardMighty Shadow - Dat Soca BoatShirley Caesar - Jesus Is Coming (UHT Edit)The Wiseguys - Nil By MouthX-O-Dus - See Them A ComePrince Far I - Psalm 1Ikebe Shakedown - No Answer Euphoria Dubs - The Sun Rising (Euphoria Dub Instrumental)Red Snapper - TolminkaClimber - Royal Blue (TNT Extended into Bed)Anita Carter - As The Sparrow GoesGolden Gate Jubilee Quartet - Golden Gate Gospel TrainPete 'Guitar' Lewis - Ooh MidnightHarrell Singers - There's A LandMark Pritchard & Thom Yorke - Bugging Out AgainAphex Twin - Xtal Slowdive - In Mind Reload Remix (The 147 Take)
Morning all. Another day, another oddly-timed upload. This week we played long songs on wax. It’s an idea we’ve had for a while and to be honest, we wanted to do it as it took minimal preparation. As with these shows we do on the fly they can be hit or miss. We think this one is a hit though. Hopefully you’ll agree.Hopefully we’ll be back on Sunday with a normal show with our hot-chat and field reports of what we’ve been up to for the last month. Plenty of things to fill you in with but we’ll no doubt forget to mention any of it.As always, get in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukDon’t forget, we’re also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more!TRACKLISTINGFlammer Dance Band - GyngerCHE - RagaGoat - OuroborosTidi-ani Kone & Orchestre Poly-Rythmo - Janfa MagniOh Sees - HenchlockCymande - DoveWilliam Onyeabor - Body and SoulLee "Scratch" Perry - Disco DevilDJ Shadow - In/FluxMeg Baird & Mary Lattimore - Fair AnnieSpiritualized - Feel So Sad Rhapsodies
