About Me

We play tunes and think of nothing else as long as it has soul, vibe and make you want to move and/or listen; originated and run by Blair Stafford (who has his own show dealing in kookie variety of bent beats and tunes called Constant Time). Blair has been playing music and DJing since the age of 12 (making mix tapes and eventually using his first uni grant to purchase a bag of 7s that set up his first residency and supported his student days) and has lived for the moment of giving the world his idea of what a radio station should sound like.

Studied and played jazz in Germany where he was turned onto computers and the field of European music and a further interest in dance, now residing in Melbourne where he is the proud father of a very young family and still tries to get down to the surf when he can.
