Small Hours

Hard to believe that Small Hours is now ten years old! While shows might not drop quite as often these days, whenever they do, Ben and I aim to bring you some of the best new and unheard music around. We've settled back nicely into the show's original home in east London and have a fantastic selection of our favourite tracks from 2025. As always, you can find all the track listings on our website...

2025 is in full flow and so are we here at Small Hours! Bringing you some of the freshest and most eclectic tunes around, if you're patient enough for them ;) Settle in for an hour (give or take) of chilled out late night vibes. We'd love to hear what you think of the show so please leave us your comments and if you hear something you like you can access all our playlists by visiting our (really)...

Merry Christmas everyone! We have a fantastic selection of wintry eclectic tunes to take you from 2024 into the New Year - how that whizzed by! Featuring a reimagined classic, a surprise artist and one of Tom's favourite bands of all-time. Wishing you all the best for 2025!

A big birthday special of a show and our first of 2024! A real treat to be able to celebrate with the whole Clifford gang and Tom (Thanks All!) Including one of our all time favourite Legend tracks and a last tune inspired by Ryan Gosling...yes you heard me. :)

Our summer show has landed - even if the weather hasn't in the UK. On this instalment we share stories of our recent trips to Ibiza and Glastonbury and of course we've carefully selected some of the absolute best music from this year's festival. We have a couple of soulful numbers taking inspiration from last month's show, a first ever double offering? and as always an incredible legend track, fro...

We're joined for this episode by our regular guest Tom Setterfield who brought with him a fantastic new track(thanks Tom!). The show also features a new favourite band and some stories from recent gigs and festivals. Of course, it wouldn't be Small Hours without the trademark legend track and a flawless final flourish as we start to warm up for the summer.

We're very pleased to bring you our latest show which features an eclectic mix of old faves, new beats, the odd wildcard and a couple of bangers from the 80’s which have had us very excited - all thrown together with some stories of what has kept us busy this summer.

It's been a little while since we last recorded, but we've used that additional time to find some extra special tracks to play for you. We have selected some fantastic new stuff of course, an old one which means a lot to us both and a haunting last tune which is definitely worth sticking around for. Remember you can get access to all the track listings on our website www.smallhourslondon.co.uk. En...

ITTTTTTTTTT'S CHRISTMAAAAAAAS! This time of year is all about spending time with friends and family and that's exactly what we've done with this special show. Featuring a lovely suggestion from an old guest Tom Setterfield and snippets from a very new one Effy (who sounds like he's built for Radio like his Dad). Hope you enjoy the show as much as we did recording it. We'll be back with some new sh...

Our talk of Ibiza inevitably led us to this extra special show - extended in length without losing quality - That's what she said! It was an absolute pleasure to be joined again with Mark Richards(Ricoh)and new to the Small Hours crew, Lou (Juan) Gibbs, and it seemed fitting to bring them both on before they depart to the White Isle next month - THE LUCKY BUGGERS. Expect some heartfelt moments, me...

Slightly late in publishing this very chilled summer edition of Small Hours but hopefully this means you can remember fondly if you managed to get away (we hope you did) or for those who weren't as fortunate try and cling onto what never really began! Expect some post punk vibes, a rather gorgeous legend track alongside our usual inane chatter as we ask the burning question - what do you do in the...

Although our monthly podcast is fast becoming a bi-annual affair (don't look at us, blame Boris), it's meant that we've been given that extra time to craft an extra special set which has all the hallmarks of a Small Hours show but features some sounds you might not ordinarily hear us play. Enjoy listening and hopefully we'll shortly be with you back on the regular.

We're delighted to be back in a new look studio and playing music we love! After being put on hold by Coronavirus we have a selection of fantastic tracks which we've been saving up during those depressing lockdown months. Enjoy listening and stay safe.

After a (not so) brief hiatus, we're back with a show full of favourite music we've collected while we've been away. In case you haven't listened before, each month we bring you an hour of new and unheard alternative music (plus a bit of chatter) for your enjoyment through the night and into the Small Hours.

It's with mixed emotions we present to you the final Small Hours (or is it?). Rounding off 24 hours (or two years) of new and unheard alternative music with our first ever continuous mix, and our old friends Mike and Setto in the studio - it's not to be missed! Thanks for tuning in and joining us on the journey, it's been a real pleasure.

In this month’s show we check out new offerings from some old favourite artists, with tracks from Acid Pauli, Loma and Invisible Conga People. Plus don't miss some very big news from the Small Hours team!

New Small Hours for a new year, with some new releases from some old favourites. Featuring tracks from Makeness, dOP and Active Child.

We're very privileged to be joined this month by our music industry hero Rich Lyne, with a chat about the UK music scene and a great final track from an exciting up & coming artist. We also have our usual offering of new music, featuring Mano Le Tough, Karl Blau and the mysterious Hype Williams.

A slightly delayed show due to trips to Ibiza and Vegas (sorry!) - but promise it's well worth the wait :)We've got a fantastic recommendation from a listener, an old favourite from Ben and an album of the year contender, with tracks from Alex Cameron, Alligator and Daphni.

This month on Small Hours an eclectic offering featuring 'future bands' new and old, Bedouin's take on a Pink Floyd classic and an unusual but gorgeous final pairing.

This month on Small Hours we have a couple of alternative versions, a lovely chilled trio and a killer final tune. Featuring tracks from Pional, Arnaldo and Kiasmos.

Apologies for the slight delay with the release of July's show - to make it up to you we've made it extra special by inviting our old friend Tom Setterfield (Settee!) along, who always gives us a chuckle. Featuring tracks from Sharon Van Etten, Rhye and Portico Quartet.

Some early summer vibes from the Small Hours team this month as festival season is in full flow. Big thanks to our special guest Tom Lerch on the phone from NYC, plus the lovely Natalie Shon in the studio. Featuring tracks from Mount Kimbie, The National and Perfume Genius.

Special thanks this month go to Mark Richards for stepping up with a great guest mix and suggesting one of our favourite tracks of the year so far. Also on this show we have Poliça (twice), Methyl Ethyl and Marcel Lune.

A real mixed bag this month even by Small Hours standards - we've even managed to squeeze in some (soothing) jazz. Featuring tracks from Toydrum, Max Cooper and Milosh.
