crazyscouseraver Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 radio 1 has gone crap since there "new dance policie" they need to bring back the good old days.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennox2s2s Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Believe me brother, Jules would seriously struggle to re-establish a credible dance line up on BBC Radio 1 these days, I have occasionally tuned into his Global Warm-Up Show on RTE Pulse Digital Radio and its nothing special by any means! "The good old days" as you state are clearly gone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonB Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Jules is past his best really, I can't see him now on R1 getting the same amount of listeners during his peak most popular period (R1 poached him from Kiss when he had the most listened to show!)

Number2Fan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Nah. I'd give him a listen if he were a daytime dance reminisc, and there's no denying his radio persona and gift of the gab are right up there. He was dropped from radio one and that was sad in that it marked the end of an era, but that era was already well and truly over. Nothing lasts forever!

lyndon Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 End of an era and all that, and everyone has their day. But there is no denying that the current dance lineup on Radio 1 is truly crap. Annie Mac is supposed to be the flagship show, and the tracklistings don't even look like dance music anymore. This era in 10 years time will be long forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Brown Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I occasionally listen to Pete Tong which isn't bad but for me R1 isn't the same any more,............ can't stand Annie Mac her voice really grates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndon Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 She doesn't even seem to play dance music anymore by the look of the track listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennox2s2s Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Out of interest what genre would Annie Mac fall in to? She seems to play all sorts of sh$te in my opinion! I have tuned into Jordan Suckely In New DJs We Trust Show a few times...Not really my taste in music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 When Annie Mac first started she was good but now obviously she has decided to go with the crap side of dance music made by a bunch of people she has become really friendly with, Tong was much better, and to some extent still is with his current show.

lennox2s2s Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Dave Pearce is worth a listen on a Saturday night on BBC Radio 2! He brings back some good memories! Pete Tong will be hard to replace on BBC Radio 1. I have so many good memories listening to Tong over the years and hearing certain tunes for the first time! In particular Eric Prydz.

drtim Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Tong's show is good, but skip the first 30 minutes of Swedish / EDM / electro-gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Tong's show is good, but skip the first 30 minutes of Swedish / EDM / electro-gash. I rarely listen but yes that is the plan! I hate how R1 still insist on these crossovers for their DJs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Not listened to any R1 in ages. No idea what Tong is like these days. I think I've just given up on the station now and will have to continue to reminisce on the good old days with the barrage of audio available here, with slippers on and cup of tea in hand!! Jules' peak era of 99-2000 for me will literally never get boring - I have listened to sets over and over from that time and still mix many tunes at home that I bought from that era - good memories!!
