Introducing The Early Bird Show - our radio offering for morning people, hosted by Maria Somerville (Mondays and Tuesdays), Spirit Blue (Wednesdays and Thursdays) and Jack Rollo (Fridays). Weekday mornings, 7-9am.
As someone who has a great interest in music, especially music that would be considered fun(ny) and experimental, I have been trying to implement this into many of my live and recorded mixes. Growing up in the Caribbean, while now living in the cold Netherlands, I've been trying to find sounds that are similar to the sounds used in Caribbean music to not only battle my homesickness, but also to appreciate these sounds even more. This collection of songs embraces the many sounds that are similar to those sounds heard in the Caribbean, such as dembow and reggeaton elements, but also the other sounds that I enjoy listening to while living in Europe, such as ghetto-tech and happy hardcore. You could say that these songs bring me a lot of JOY!!!!
