Melvin Odoom sits in: Roame Lowry of legendary soul band Maze is the Rewind Selector!

Feelgood tunes to groove and soothe your soul. Plus, Romae Lowry of legendary band Maze chooses the tracks that take him back to the dance floors of his youth in Rewind Selector.

Feelgood favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and soothe you. Melvin Odoom, in for DJ Spoony, serves up a brilliant selection of classic soul, disco, soulful house, R&B, funk, UK garage, reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, yacht rock and more. Our genial host also gives his New 2 Odoom record of the week another spin.

Tuesday night is Rewind Selector night, where a musician, celebrity or Good Groove listener chooses the tracks that take them back to the dance floors of their youth. Roame Lowry, a founding member of the legendary soul band Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, is picking the tunes tonight. A key figure in the group's development from its early days as Raw Soul, Roame is credited with suggesting the name "Maze" following the band's association with Marvin Gaye. Over a career spanning more than five decades, his distinctive percussion and backing vocals have helped shape the warm, groove-driven sound behind classics such as Before I Let Go, Joy and Pain and We Are One. Widely respected by musicians and fans alike, Roame remains an enduring custodian of the Maze legacy.

Melvin wraps things up with a Midnight Feast track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business!
