The Night Train®

This week we take to the airwaves with a show that accidently had two themed sets! One of them has >60% of the songs with the same name. Could this be the start of something new? Who knows. This will be one of the shows that we're glad is a pre-record as we're both a bit worse for wear after spending last night celebrating Steve's birthday. If you wanna help make the show more exciting, get in...

Greetings and salutations! Sorry this is late in the day. The plan is to trick you into thinking tomorrow is actually Monday. That way when you remember it's actually Tuesday you'll be over the moon that it's only 6 sleeps until the next time we're on the air! For this show, we return with tales from afar, mix-tapes and birthdays, cover versions and plugs for other shows on the station. Wild times...

What's this?!? A TNT upload in the AM?!? Someone's up early. Normal business again this week as our two intrepid hosts play a great 2hrs of different stuff that's been going around their heads for a while. One of them over a year! The downside of the early upload is that this blurb is lacking in anything of note. If you wanna help make the show more exciting, get in touch at nighttrain93.2[at]gmai...

The strange thing about these pre-records is that technically, this file you're listening to has been "in the bag" since Saturday morning yet somehow Steve's only now gettin' around to uploading it. He's had ample time to get it uploaded yet it's still late in the day. Oh well. This week the mix is "new stuff from Paul and Steve accidentally plays 3 songs that he's heard on TV shows". To be honest...

Apologies one and all for the delayed upload! May Day has got us all over the place, thinking it’s Monday today. Thanks to those that messaged while tuned in on Sunday. We really miss doing the Bank Holiday weekend shows live. Hopefully it won’t be too long now. Music and ground covered this week is a nice mix of reggae, footwork, soul and more. We play some new old music we’ve purchased and gener...

It's the long over-due return of a guest mix on TNT! Can't remember when the last one was, possibly Steve's when he decided to do his own guest mix. Not sure that should count though. So for this proper mix, it's from our good friend, Figure Of Wax. A northern soul and an all-round party DJ. He's just started an excellent monthly radio show, Liner Notes, on Steam Radio outta MCR so thought it righ...

You know, it kinda feels like these shows are gettin' better. We're not a slick operation by any means but that's not why you tune in, right? This week sees us playing a nice blend of the old and new. Some stuff from comps, some stuff from albums, some stuff we heard on the radio and some stuff we heard on Twitter. Apologies these blurbs aren't that exciting, we're tryin' our best! If you want to...

Today has been confusing. A classic "Tuesday that feels like a Monday". This is why this blurb will be minimal. The show is great though... a classic Easter Show. That means a sweet mix of tunes and we're both a bit "loose". Get in touch nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or  https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain  on the tweets. Please do, as this means we have something to mention when w...

Around a year ago would have been the 50th anniversary of the David Mancuso throwing his 1st Love Saves The Day party at The Loft. It was the first show that fell foul of us not being allowed in the studio so it's been languishing on a HD for a year. Well, now is the time to enjoy it! Listen in wonder to tales from NYC. A fine mix of music is awaiting you. All you gotta do is press play! Get in to...

Do you know, it feels like so long since this was broadcast, can't really remember what was on the show. This means we're gonna have to listen again on a speed-run. Wonder what the show would sound like at +8. One thing we did talk about was TNT Top Trumps. Suggestions appreciated. Get in touch nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com or  https://www.twitter.com/RadioNightTrain  on the tweets. Pl...

In a break from our scheduled programming, we bring you our 1st volume of "Salute to The Sisterhood" from 2018 to celebrate International Women's Day! We've removed our waffle as the last thing this day (or any day TBH) needs is two men talkin' nonsense. As today is IWD, here are a few presenters/shows that are way better than us that you should check out... DJ Soul Sister on WWOZ https://www.wwoz...

Well this is embarrassing. Due to a mistake by Steve, the upload we sent to Greg at Sheffield Live was full of silence. Not cool silence like 4′33″ by John Cage, but actual radio silence. This means that the emergency sustain cut in and played (at points), America, Nirvana and Coldplay. Worse than that, it might have set an alarm off and woke up the station manager. So, we've fixed it now and we'r...

Finally, a normal show! It feels like it's been forever. We don't do it on purpose, we promise. Back on the airwaves and Information Superhighway with show number 231. For unknown reasons*, there is no new music this week, just old music. But don't let that put you off. There's harps, early 90's break-beats, Brasilian breaks, hot chat and a few anniversary picks. Also, for the Remember! You can al...

Hi everybody! What you're lookin' at here is our 2hr tip of the hat to New Orleans. We did it for a number of reasons, the most important being that we remembered to do it in time for Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Pancake Day. We cover lots of ground here, takin' in a number of different styles from The Big Easy and music from the last 90ish years and even an Ant-Valentines Day mini-mix for the broken-he...

Good Morning all you lovers of great music and hot chat. It's time for another edition of The Night Train. The other day we mentioned that we'd been doin' a lot of theme shows and this week is a 241! To celebrate 15 years since the release of J Dilla's "Donuts" and "Anti-War Dub by Digital Mystikz we've sprinkled some Dilla delights throughout the show and Powlo's dusted off his dubstep wax for a...

After a month of theme shows, it's back to normal for this week. What you won't be able to tell is that there were multiple problems but due to our editing skillz, it's a seamless show. We play some new-ish stuff, some random stuff and some stuff that didn't make it into the last few them shows. Remember! You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at; nighttrain93.2[at]gmail[dot]com...

Despite nobody asking for it, we're back with a part two of our trip down memory lane. Back to a time of tapes in cars, youthful adventures and having way too much time on our hands. Those with a keen ear will notice that Steve's got a new mic. But to be honest, we're not sure if anyone listens. We're not entirely sure anyone reads these blurbs. Perhaps we should run some sort of competition. Reme...

During Lockdown #2, we restarted our Album Club with a "Album released when you were 18" round. It got us thinking, what else were we listening to when we were 18. Well, here is a snapshot of what was playing in our car stereos, Minidisc players, Walkmen etc. Some of it is from '99. Some of it is from 2000. Some of it is from earlier. All in all, it's a decent snapshot of what the two of us were b...

On New Years Eve, the news broke of the passing of DOOM. It only seemed right to make a tribute show for Metal Face. We're not talking on this one which (believe it or not) presents it's own challenges. Hopefully we've managed to make a mix that keeps you entertained for two hours. It covers 1989-2019 which TBH is pretty damn impressive for a rapper to stay relevant. Guess that's why DOOM was your...

Happy New Year one and all! (Are we too far past 1st Jan to say that?). We hope you're all well and have had a safe festive period. Due to bad planning on our behalf, we didn't record in 8 Wheels Studio last week. Instead, what we've got for you is an hour of TNT mixes we've done for people! The 1st 30mins is our NYE mix for Chris Welch's Sounds Like This. The 2nd 30mins is an all soul 45s guest m...

Finally! It's what the world has been waiting for... another "Best of" show from two chancers on Community Radio. It's been a strange year (we probably don't need to tell you that) so finding new music has been a bit different this year. We still managed to find some and cobbled together this show from our home studios (spare rooms). Hopefully we'll be back in 8 Wheels Studio for the 1st show of 2...

Due to reasons, there wasn't a show from 8 Wheels Studio yesterday. Instead we broadcast the music from this show. As folks like to hear our on-air-chemistry, we're uploading the actual show from 2018. It's 120 minutes of songs with a festive lilt. Soundtrack the eating of sprouts with annoying family members with our festive picks. Guaranteed to cause some strange looks from loved ones. We're hop...

We promised it, and here it is! 1,432 since part one, it’s our Global Sounds Special pt 2 “Country Chaos”. Recorded on a wet night in 8 Wheels Studio*, this show is an audio adventure taking in spots around the world for 2 hours of music that isn’t from The UK or The US. This kind of show is a lot of fun to make and even more fun trying to pronounce all the names of the artists. This week there’s...

There weren't enough hours to get our show done last week, so we had a week off. Fear not Listen Again Crew, we've got you covered! We're giving you a chance to listen to our guest appearance on Sounds Like This with Chris Welch. Chris has been on Sheffield Live since the beginning. Which explains why he's a lot more polished than our shambles of a show. He's on air Sundays 5-7pm. on Sheffield Liv...

Morning everyone! Sorry this is a day late. We're not sure if there are listeners that rely on us to perk up their Monday. If there is, apologies. We will work hard to make sure there isn't a delay any more. Anyway, in another dispatch from 8 Wheels Studio* we discuss 1999, Fela Kuti, past guest mixes and live-stream DJ sets. Remember! You can also get in touch to ask for request or shout-out at;...
