The two Toms, Tom Macleod and Tom Guy, whirl up a storm thanks to their love of good funk, soul and hip hop music, plus there’s irreverent discussion on the stranger goings on in the world.

In this show the boys play musical top trumps by unleashing the biggest tunes out of their respective musical arsenals. It’s up to the listener to decide who emerged victorious. There is also gig news, Tom Guy’s pro News of The World standpoint (oo-err) and more.

The Swell Brothers Present, Vol. 4

The Swell Brothers, Bruno and Andy, are related by music rather than biology, and have been DJing together since they started their funk and soul night Swell down local Hackney boozer The Dolphin back in 2004. Funk and soul isn’t their only bag though and they’ll be dropping in once a month or so to explore a different musical genre and to talk quite a lot of rubbish.

Tune in this time to hear some top quality funk.
