Broadcasting from a custom-built studio on the south coast of Great Britian, our aim is simply to bring you the finest music of our time, old, new, familair, rare gems, as long as it's good!







Ian began producing and presenting shows for Internet radio in 2008.  With a life long love of good radio and good music he relishes the opportunity to have a go at producing some himself.  He is a keen supporter of independent and innovative radio, such as Caroline and the Big L and a moderator of the Music Radio News Forum since its inception.  His Cruisin' show was carried by Rewind45, before moving to 80s & More, and Kix FM Online.  A bit of a  "vinyl junkie", he has a love of good music of all types and eras.  Hates the current trend towards "narrowcasting", DJs who prattle innanely or think the show's all about them and not the music and radio that only serves as background noise.  Interests are (apart from music and radio), politics, walking, electronics and technology.
