The Other Side

About Me

The Other Side Radio Show is no accident, and certainly no imitation! It is borne out of 1 person's unremitting dedication, curiosity and pursuance of fine music of all natures, creeds and colours from all over the world. The music has a bias towards jazz, but the show would not be perceived as an out n' out straight jazz show.Being a child of the 70's & 80's had its advantages in terms of the music that was around, so strong elements of disco, soul, funk, electro (& later hip-hop) were thrown into the vortex. Fast forward thru the rest of the 80's with a brief stop at the church of the acid jazz, the 90's ushered in house music and drum n' bass. Along with all that, hanging around some respectable elders at a couple of local record emporiums who shared their knowledge of 60's and 70's folk and rock music helped the cup to properly runneth over.All of the above, plus those disjointed dance beats that are broken, those soulful hip-hop beats that are considered 'neo', and modern electronica are what go into the shows.If your musical tastebuds crave for something different, and unpredictable, then tune into the Other Side fortnightly 10pm (GMT) on New Style Radio 98.7fm in Birmingham UK, and www.NewStyleRadio.co.uk/live.asx anywhere else.And because we live in an ever increasing convenience world of 'give it to me when I want it' - you can listen to shows again via your computer on www.UKvibe.org/theotherside.htm or download the shows to your iPods and mini-players and take it around the supermarket with you or to the park when you're about to feed the ducks. If that is the case, then be sure to share the Other Side experience with others along the way... they will thank you for it in later life
