    Dance Sounds of the 90s with Vernon Kay

    The sun is down, the stars are out and Night Life is what this show is all about!

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 unveils the 'New 2 Spoon' record of the week. Spoony’s alter-ego Dr Beat is away from the song surgery so his ever faithful locum, Dr Odoom, is on hand to prescribe a musical pick-me-up for a lucky listener. Whether your Monday has gone spectacularly off the rails, you’re recovering from an eventful weekend, or you simply need a track to mark a special occasion, get in touch for a 'telephone consultation' in exchange for the perfect tune to match your situation! Text 88291, WhatsApp 08000 288 291 or e-mail melvin@bbc.co.uk. The Midnight Feast track wraps up each show. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business! To listen on most smart speakers, just say 'ask BBC Sounds to play The Good Groove with DJ Spoony'. Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2.
