MISTA VEE 
'CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND' airs Fridays at 5pm

'VEE'Z JOINT' airs Wednesdays at 5pm
From the curly mind of the genius that is Melbourne, Australia's MISTA VEE.  A fantastic trip that's as likely to celebrate 90s R&B as it is the very best in contemporary, nu-soul and R&B.  He's a writer, he's a musician and we're thrilled he's bestowing his talents onto us - Vahe's marathon-like shows spotlighting the remixes, b-sides, collaborations and unreleased tracks of his heroes continues to grow in acclaim and are as extensive a collection as anyone could piece together.  Genuinely nothing like it anywhere!

La Molly 
'Super Sonido Show' airs Tuesdays at 5pm
"So, uh, what ARE you?" is probably the most frequently asked question of Denver based music lover La Molly. Like many Latinx people, La Molly has been on a search for what, or rather, who she is her whole life. Having grown up rather rootless La Molly turned to music and the Super Sonido Show. This radio show explores the blending of traditional sounds such as cumbia, champeta and Andean folklorico with modern technology and digital sounds, music that mirrors the identity search of many in the Latinx community. How can we both hold tight to our traditions and be present in modern society? The Super Sonido Show aims to provide the soundtrack to that question.

DJ Simon S 
'Futuristica Radio' airs Thursdays at 5pm
Simon S has been DJing, producing and releasing music for almost 30 years and has played all over the world alongside such luminaries as Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova, Patrick Forge, Mad Matz and many others.  And as head of Futuristica Music, Simon and an incredible roster of artists - including the incomparable Deborah Jordan - have spearheaded a revolution in nu and future soul for nearly 15 years.  Expect a wonderful array of music as Simon showcases a mixture of contemporary jazz gems and blissful future soul numbers synonymous with Futuristica.

DJ Rhonnie Rhon 
'Ride The Vibe' airs Mondays at 5pm
Coming to us from San Jose, California, DJ Rhonnie Rhon projects the sunshine from her hometown every week providing 60 minutes of soulful house and nu-soul bliss.  Ride The Vibe airs every week with a thoughtfully-compiled and exquisitely-mixed selection making Rhonda's show an artform all of its own.  "Music has always been a solace for me. While all musical genres influence me, rhythms are what drive me and lead me on my journey of creating continuous flows of funky, soulful, deep vibes.  Come take a ride with me."

As Valet
'Cosmic Radio' airs Wednesdays at 10pm
From Paris, France, the revered producer and DJ has boundless achievements and accolades to his name.  Having now released three solo albums, As Valet can also lay claim to being a founding member of the four-piece of Electric Conversation.  Signed to Futuristica Music, the genre-defining future soul collective released two exquisite albums through the label ('Communication' and 'Electric Conversation') serving as compulsory purchases for fans of the nu- and future-soul genre. 
Cosmic Radio presents a stunning excursion into the realms of jazz, African rhythms and left-field hip-hop.

Steve Williams
'UK Vibe' airs Thursdays at 7pm
"Editor, publisher, loose leaf tea drinker, husband and father."
This is how Steve Williams describes himself on his ukvibe.org website but the list of titles and accomplishments runs considerably deeper so let's give him his due credit and add "DJ, music enthusiast, trail blazer and Norwegian jazz vinyl connoisseur".
Currently celebrating UK Vibe's 25th year - the brand that started as a print publication in January 1993 and boasted interviews with The Roots, Terry Callier and Branford Marsalis to name a few, evolved into an online gateway into incredible contemporary jazz treasures.
With a wealth of DJ and radio experience to his name also, including stints on Metro FM, Power FM and PCRL, we couldn't be happier to boast the talents of Steve Williams as he celebrates the finest modern jazz music with us every month.

Bob Hill

'The Illicit Groove Radio Show' airs every Sunday at 1pm

With regular features, the Amen Corner, The Sunday Afternoon Jump-Up, Back in the Day Belters and the focus on new, recent and future music Bob Hill programmes the show to bring you two hours of #GroovesForTheGlobalLEFTfield.  Exploring Black Music through the prism of the groove rather than genre, tracks are selected and juxtaposed to reflect all that is wonderful, joyous and diverse from a wide range of producers, musicians, composers, vocalists and artists.  'Selecting music for the show is a throwback to my early days of DJing from the late 80s into the 90s when Rare Groove, Acid House, Drum & Bass, Jungle, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Afrobeat, Acid Jazz, AOR and various fusions would all find their way into my sets', says Bob. 

Sean Sophiea
'Raw Select Music' airs last Monday of the month at 8pm
Part time DJ. Part time record collector. Full time music lover just trying to shed more light on the less recognized, more obscure side of music. Never one to enjoy only one type of music, my interests change like the seasons, shifting from funk and soul, to house and techno, to hip-hop and jazz, to disco and Latin.
The one thing you can expect from my shows is that they're gonna have a little bit of everything on them. Hopefully you enjoy them.

'Nu-Skool Soul' airs every Tuesday at 6pm
'Blue-in-Green Sessions' airs every Wednesday at 7pm
Albert Einstein said "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician.  I often think in music.  I live my daydreams in music.  I see my life in terms of music."
Let's just say, I'm not a physicist but I can relate.
I love the discovery of something I've never heard before and I love sharing that feeling with like-minded people who will hopefully embrace the music in the same way.
I've presented on several different stations over the course of nearly 15 years and long worn the tag of "the alternative one" which is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing but while I've struggled to fit in elsewhere, on Blue-in-Green:RADIO, I'm home.
