Rook's Records Of The Year (2024) - Part 1 (Week 204) // 07/12/2024

We're back! How have you been? Missed you. I hope you missed me. If you didn't, well, here's my first show back anyway.

A special one too, as we celebrate Leeds Jazz Festival week. Always nice to be in the city during this - the free music, the vibes, the parties...everything. 

I thought it'd be great to get two lots of guests on to celebrate:

Firstly, Edward Forth (1/2 of Club 15 Selectors) who ran the lovely Jazz Kissa event at Galleria - giving a delightful nod to Japanese listening bar culture by producing their very own in the space. He talks us through all of that, plus his love of audiophilia. 

Secondly, everyone's favourite local Latin DJs - El Caspete. Diego and Ian are two lovely lads, with the deepest Latin collection I have ever seen. I attempt to go b3b with them for the entirety of the second hour, in celebration of our Lift Your Feet party alongside the icon, Coco Maria, later that evening.


There Are No Genres - We're Back! Jazz Special! (Week 209) // 24/05/2025

Last show for a couple of weeks!

I know, does this guy do radio part time? Yes he does, actually. Please excuse me having a break for my birthday.

Nevertheless, a healthy heaping of new music in the show this week. Covering everything from drum & bass to jazz, reggae to latin, house and neo-soul, plus everything in between. You know the score.

Featuring tracks from Anushka, Michael Garrick, Moses Yoofee Trio, Rosie Lowe, Secret Night Gang, Afronaut, Pangaea, Seven Davis Jr. and absolutely loads more.

There Are No Genres - New Music Focus (Week 210) // 31/05/2025

We have been off for two weeks...and we're off next week...sorry for the staggered schedule.

But let us not start with negatives - as he just started with negatives. An action packed filled show with new music - as always - and reissues, also including tributes to Sly Stone and Brian Wilson.

We are baiting you into listening. As the show title suggests, more than a few surprises throughout. Go on then!

New music from Little Simz, Fly Anakin, Athens Of The North, Death Is Not The End, Mocky, Joy Orbison, Brighter Days Family, Julia Mestre and more.


There Are No Genres - New Music Focus + Surprises (Week 211) // 21/06/2025

No bigger supporter of all things Leeds than James Frances - apart from that time when he did his sold out all night long set at Imaginarium in a vintage Bradford City footy shirt (it’s ok, we are cities of kinship) 🏵️

Every underground scene needs motivators to keep things moving, and James certainly takes up this role!

Time to get him in for a chat about that sold-out-event-where-he-was-the-only-DJ-on-the-bill moment, his approach to DJing, why he loves Leeds dance music so much, all things Friday Feeling, all things Soul Potential and…life.
