Episode 31 - Sunburn, Saxophones and Short Stories

Steve Miller is back with 2 hours of positive tunes to get you pumped and prepped for whatever life throws at you.

All aboard, as this week’s episode kicks inertia into touch and gets things moving with a vibrant selection of upbeat songs picked and pruned from across eight decades - packed and presented to make the next 120 minutes of your life fly by.

Sandwiched in between all that great music, ‘Versus’ sees a songwriting legend taking on a couple of dance scene upstarts in a battle for the title of their own song, ‘Cover Story’ serves up a sultry French pop take on a post-punk disco classic, and ‘mixeR’ presents a little known alternative version of a 90s trip-hop classic.


Go on, hit play and get pumped!
