International Jazz Day 2025 — Kurtis Powers

We're back with Part 2 of our Glastonbury celebration—digging deeper into the festival’s rich legacy while spotlighting fresh favorites from this year’s stages. 

This week, we’re remembering the legendary Brian Wilson with a Glasto gem from 2005, and turning up standout performances from Arctic Monkeys, Paul McCartney, The Verve, Wet Leg, Fontaines D.C., Fred again.., Rick Astley with Blossoms, and more. 

We’re also serving up fresh new music from Doechii, The Riptide Movement, and Turnstile—plus a few left-field curveballs to keep your Monday moving. 

And with June being World Men’s Mental Health Month, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the power of music to lift spirits, spark conversation, and connect us.

As promised, we're Making Mondays Happy Again!

Side Effects with Kurtis Powers - Glastonbury Special, Pt. 2 — 16 June 2025 #LIVE

As the summer solstice rolls in and the days stretch a little longer, we’ve put together a soundtrack to match—soulful, sunlit, and built for pleasure. From breezy boogie and dubbed-out grooves to shimmering soul and cosmic jazz-funk, this is two hours of music made for golden hours and late-night warmth. 

You’ll hear deep cuts and future classics—sounds from the 70s to today—all chosen to celebrate the first light of summer and the long days ahead. Whether you’re swaying on the back porch, dancing barefoot in the living room, or just soaking in the moment, this one’s made to linger. 
Join us. The sun’s high, the soul’s deep, and the vibes are just right.

The Rendezvous - Kurtis Powers — 22 June 2025 #LIVE

What a night. Four hours celebrating 11 years of The Rendezvous, and still—there were 60 more favourites we couldn’t squeeze in. For this milestone, I pulled together some of my all-time selections from across the years—tracks that have been part of this journey. 

It was a night that mirrored what The Rendezvous has always been about: a mix of soulful sounds in all their shades—Northern, modern, deep funk, rare groove, jazz-infused, and beyond, every track had a place in the story.

Thank you to everyone who’s tuned in over the years. This show has been about community, connection, and sharing music we love.

Make sure to check out Part 2 as well!
