Single Review: “The Call” – CHIMA ANYA

Right we need to put some respect on this name. This is <strong>Chima Anya</strong> – hold on let me correct myself DOCTOR Chima Anya’s return to the fresh faves, and he’s done a LOT. I mean, he’s been on Britain’s Got Talent (Yes, yes I yelled at my tv). I’ve interviewed him in the past …

Track Of The Day: “Groove Is In The Heart” – Deee-Lite

Throwback Track Of The Day “Groove Is In The Heart – Deee-Lite.@theonlyjosie reminded me that this track was 35 years old.

Single Review: “£15 Kebab” – The Soap Company

When I first heard this track my first question was….  WHO’S GOING TO PAY £15 FOR A KEBAB????  Pre covid there used to a kebab shop near my house that I used to treat myself to every so often, you’d get a large portion inside a pitta with your choice of toppings for less than …
