Yes you get the RnB, yes you get the dance classics, but listen out for the odd, not the norm too. Vimto's show can range from RnB to Indie.It's that different.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">What's been happening out there in the real world we hear you ask? Well, the mainstream media is full on attempting to discredit a credible political opposition of late here in the UK. First he was a spy, then a terrorist, then a racist who knows what next! </span></span></p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://traxfm.org/files/resized/139959/138;150;fe5b8cd14f16d2095ea896729727bf339896ed10.png"><img alt="" src="http://traxfm.org/files/resized/139960/117;149;caf85f1c2f1cc830a8676d0b95f25c213353d2f4.jpg" style="height:155px; width:122px"><img alt="" src="http://traxfm.org/files/resized/139961/184;203;6cba2565a3321e0bbc1980321f806aeae5fa10d5.png" style="height:155px; width:140px"><img alt="" src="http://traxfm.org/files/resized/139962/130;166;3b0a83d75ad823eccd5c52bba60eccb872f2e197.png" style="height:155px; width:121px"></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Who would imagine that the billionaire owned mainstream media's attacks on a political party would back fire and actually increase the political party's membership they are attacking,& actually increase public sympathy towards that party? Makes you wonder why doesn't it? Who stands to gain? Perhaps the opposition's election manifesto, in which looks to get the UK's top 100 earners to actually pay their taxes? God forbid!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">The UK is about to enter local elections and it does not look good for traditionally safe seats like Westminister,Barnet,Wandsworth. The opinion polls are showing the public want a change,and despite all the attack on the opposition by the billionaires, those seats are going to be red. In fact it looks like most of London. Perhaps the party in power needs a war.Hang on? That is exactly what is being proposed. Syria may be bombed without any parliamentary vote. Shades of Iraq? </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">We think UK MP's should note that they work for us. Sometimes a political party in power is so out of touch, (austerity here in the UK has not worked). Homelessness is on the rise, nurses using food banks, a working wage in which is below the poverty line. Public services on it's knees. A party in power in which votes against free school meals for children in poverty. That meal may very well be the only meal that child has for the day. Well, it is with that arrogance that we believe the electorate will punish them.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Pretty much what they did last June, and the electorate are coming back again. Politics needs a radical re-think here in the UK. If it does not or we do not have the sensible debate, you end up on the other side of the scale (yep! A Mr Orange man!).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">We recently saw this article in the "from the streets, we are the voice of youth" Evening Standard</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://traxfm.org/files/resized/139963/389;300;2f7d38dfc455cf10c6a429ab032572bec54db9d4.png"></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Let's be clear here. The Hip Hop <span class="UFICommentActorAndBody"><span data-ft='{"tn":"K"}'><span class="UFICommentBody _1n4g">culture/movement actually has more positives then the wonderful Standard actually "proclaims". Yes, Hip Hop,(for a time) was based on "showmanship". Whether that be lyrics,dance,graffiti,or music. Yes, it took a more social point of view in the mid to early 90's,( and justifiably too). To be honest the multi million pound industry,(yes corporations) funded the expensive bling bling rap videos and concerts in the 90's and beyond. That said the current violence in London is a social issue,not a music one. It's an issue of under funding,austerity, working for a below pay average, living closer and closer to the poverty line. It's social services in which is on it's knees due to costs and cuts. It's not Hip Hop's fault, it's a political one. It's the "millennials" version of what we had to put up with with Reagonomics/Thatcherism</span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Well...what was supposed to be a fore-gone conclusion turned into a historical political landscape in which has turned parliament it's head. Although the Conservative party won it did not gain a parliamentary majority. Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party touched and engaged the youth vote. Theresa May then had to reach out to the Ulster Unionist party,the DUP in order to gain a majority to at least get some form of watered down bill's through parliament. It cost us £1 billion pounds though,(per year). On top of that,our public services still have to suffer a continuing 7 year pay freeze. On top of that food banks grow and grow,(when did food banks become a thing?). Employment is down,but only because of zero hours contracts,so people in work are people in poverty. Regardless of your politics though,you now have two main parties with very different policies.Isn't that what it's all about?</span></span></strong></p>

Those poor children and their families. They where just out having a nice time. Some say how do we stop this terror. The monsters objective is to hate everything about our society.Full stop. Radicalisation? Who radicalised the Finsbury Park attacker? No. Our society has never been more divided. There are those out there to divide us even more.</span></span></strong></p>

The families and children left behind to die...awful and heart wrenching. The local council's inability to support those families...even up to today pretty much sums up the failed austerity in the UK. The follow up and knee jerk reaction by other council's tower blocks was also scary. All tower blocks in the UK are dangerous. Fact. Cheap cladding,lack of local council Health & safety Departments - probably due to cuts. Cut,Cut,Cut.</span></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Lets be clear...people living in poverty are people in danger. Should it be politicised? Well social housing IS politics. Do not be mistaken. They say that it could be months before victims are formerly recognised. What lessons to be learned? What price? Who is responsible. Could this take as long as the Hillsborough enquiry? So many questions.</span></span></strong></p>

<p><span style="font-family:arial black,arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:18px"><strong>Now let’s be very clear here, the attackers should, and will not be named as Muslims. They where terrorists. No affiliation to any religion, just evil terrorists. </strong></span></span></p>

Yes-failed foreign policy by, (the then president of the United States), Barack Obama and the UK as well as the associated coalition. Now take all of that and bunch it up with the protest votes of Mr. Trump & Brexit. (…And yes, they where protest votes). We will end up with hate crime, and that is exactly what these evil monsters want.</strong></span></span></p>

In regards to George, if, (like a lot of the Trax FM DJ’s), George Michael meant a lot to us. Yes, some would say <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wham!" target="_blank">Wham</a> where very cheesy, (George admits this). However the stuff George subsequently wrote and produced was and is brilliant. It seemed George seemed to free himself of the shackles of record label corporatism and started to produce some good soul and dance.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>George’s last album, (<a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCe801G2Xo" target="_blank">Patience - 2004</a>), in which George was clearly out spoken against the invasion of Iraq. Maybe it’s time for all high profile artists to sometimes speak out on issues that really affect all of us?</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><strong>Any way, in regards to George’s opinion on the invasion of Iraq, here is an interesting fact. </strong><strong>In February 2003, Michael unexpectedly recorded another song in protest against the looming Iraq war, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_McLean" title="Don McLean">Don McLean</a><a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29XO3iGLVLE" target="_blank">'s "The Grave".</a> The original was written by McLean in 1971 and was a protest against the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>. <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CLcm3iO494" target="_blank">Michael performed the song on numerous TV shows including </a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_of_the_Pops" title="Top of the Pops">Top of the Pops</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Graham_Norton" title="So Graham Norton">So Graham Norton</a>. His performance of the song on Top of the Pops on 7 March 2003 was his first studio appearance on the programme since 1986. He ran into conflict with the show's producers for an anti-war, anti Blair T-shirt worn by some members of his band. In response, Don McLean issued a statement, through his website, praising Michael's recording: "I am proud of George Michael for standing up for life and sanity. I am delighted that he chose a song of mine to express these feelings. We must remember that the Wizard is really a cowardly old man hiding behind a curtain with a loud microphone. It takes courage and a song to pull the curtain open and expose him. Good Luck George."</strong></span></span></p>

(Yes.... we mean the Badgers eyelashes too...)</span></p>

What a few hectic months it has been on here at Trax FM! New DJ's,new websites,new slogans! Phew! Firstly,the new DJ's here on Trax FM. On Mondays we have DJ Anzarack,( 6:30 UK Time). DJ Anazrack gives us a little something different. Exclusive,new dance and club exclusives. Trax FM do allow their presenters to thoroughly express themselves. It is not about individuals here on Trax FM. There is a show here for you,(or you may like a bit of everything...welcome to Trax FM!). DJ Hugh Kaye is a case in point. Hugh plays a weekly show here on Trax FM,(Wednesdays from 3pm UK time). Hugh jumps from House to Soul to Rock & Rap. Some songs/Rap are in German or another Global language.Superb!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Mr B & The Foot Tappers Show,(Mr B was in a jazz funk dance crew back in the day called the Foot Tappers if you are wondering!) every Thursday from 7PM UK time,brings us some delicious Jazz Funk,Jazz,Disco,Funk...fantastic.Old venues such as Bogarts & Tudors are in Mr B's radar on his show!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">On the same vein,Ritz & The Goodgroove Show on Saturdays at 11am UK time also gives you more musical munchies for your music pallet. Not only that,expect Ritz to drop the odd Japanese rarity too. Memories of the 100 Club,(the great soul.funk establishment in London in the late 70's/early 80's - DJ George Power), spring to mind on this show.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Sundays here on Trax FM are jam packed! From 11AM UK time it is DJ Littleman live..yes live...from Australia! Littleman is a superb enthusiastic DJ who genuinely loves his music. He is on a record at present as not playing the same record twice over his last series of shows...well done Jason!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Nest up on Sundays,(from 1PM UK time), it's DJ Shylo's Sunday Shakedown show. Now the 'norm" here could be to play the same old 80"s stuff,(nothing wrong in that). However DJ Shylo plays them but exclusively remixed.It is a fantastic show.Expect a sprinkling of some underground club exclusives too.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">From 3PM UK time it is Paresh Kelly's Back 2 Basics show. Here is another show in which gives us a little something different. 90's R&B and beyond...all mixed up! The 90's for most of us,brought in R&B/Swing,and really gave the club scene an alternative to the then "superclubs". More and more Bars with dancefloors sprung up in the UK as a result. Great memories by Paresh on the Back 2 Basics show....Sundays will never be the same!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">What a result! (no..not QPR getting 3 points). We mean the addition of Rendell! Rendell is back every Saturday from 8PM UK time. If fun and having a beverage or 3,add to it great,(not the norm funk and Disco...although if you ask him he might play some Abba!). Do try and catch Rendell...we promise...it's fun all the way!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">When we received a demo off DJ Late Night Dancer,(we do receive a lot of demos), we where taken aback. The music was fantastic and quite deep and funky. Welcome to DJ Late Night Dancer and her "Filthy House Show",(Fridays from 7PM UK time and Saturdays from 6PM UK time). You will really enjoy her shows,very similar to Israel Soul DJ,(Tuesdays & Thursdays from 5PM UK Time) and The Max Mistry Show,(Thursdays from 10PM - Thursdays). Hey! if you have what it takes...send in your demo to :admin@traxfm.org</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">All your regular favorites are still here,The Pacman,Glenn D,DJ Raj,DJ Hugh Kaye,Judge Jim,David RB,DJ Chris,Lloyd Higgins,Max Mistry,Shan,JJ The Deejay,Chas Summers,Alvin Stone...and that list is growing!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Speaking of Glenn D,(The Temple Of Hip Hop Show - Mondays from 10:30 UK time), we where/are very proud of Glenn featuring on Radio 1Xtra on the Charlie Sloth show...fantastic. Shan & Glenn really support new and old Rap/Hip Hop. There was a time in which this genre of music was pushed away in the early hours of the morning by the major stations...not here on Trax FM. If you are a new hip hop artist,please know that if the track is good...we will back you!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:18px"><span style="color:rgb(255, 51, 204)"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif">Speaking of new artists,Trax FM will be certainly supporting new talent.This month we are playing the new EP by Tai Malone,( "Moving On" EP). Also the new single by Yinka AKA Reason - "Get Up When I Fall". Fantastic stuff.You can here these two brilliant artists throughout the day here on Trax FM.</span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">Well we have been busy here on Tax FM, what with new DJ's bringing in something new & different! <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">Glenn D</a>, the welcome return of <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">Lloyd Higgins from the 23rd of April, DJ Chris too</a>. More coming too from different parts of the world. Watch this space!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">We were thinking about the funky 80's. The venues and house parties, the venues, (Henry 8th,Bogarts, Shaftsburys, Jaquiline’s, Samantha’s etc.). Where you there?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">What where your favourite tunes back then? Email us them and will be more then happy to play them…back-to-back!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive"><a href="mailto:traxfm@traxfm.org">traxfm@traxfm.org</a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">We know that any photos of yourselves back then may make you cringe! Hey! If <a class="navigation_page_link" href="http://traxfm.org/about">David RB</a> can put a picture of himself up, (from 1985…white socks & All!)…Anything is possible! Go on! Send em in to the above email address?</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">Mondays to Sundays here on Trax FM have now become packed with great music! From the <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">Pacman</a> with his mixture of Hindi to Hip Hop, <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">Glen D’s Temple of Hip Hop alongside Shan’s UK Hip Hop</a>, to the <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">Soulful House sounds of DJ Chris, Dave Aura, Danny Jay & Lloyd Higgins.Max Mistry and not forgetting the daily dose of Israel Soul’s Soulkitchen from Ibiza. Throw in the funky sounds of Chas Summers & DJ Raj with Judge Jim’s Big Debate…it’s all happening here!</a></span> <span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">A massive boost for us was the welcome return of <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">JJ The Deejay</a>! JJ has returned to Trax with his <a class="navigation_external_link" href="https://www.mixcloud.com/traxfm/" target="_blank">Twilight Twinkle Show</a> every Friday night at 10PM UK time.</span> <span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">Why we love JJ and his shows,well firstly they are very funny! Secondly his musical taste is not the norm. Here at Trax FM we do not operate musical snobbery nor do we tell our DJ's what to play. JJ reflects this with a mixture of Rock,Pop & Soul...and whatever!</span> <a class="navigation_page_link" href="http://traxfm.org/"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">The same can be said for Alvin Stone & The Gucci Thang every Sunday From 7PM UK time. R&B Dance classics is Alvin's slogan.However expect to hear some rare Soul/Disco...it is an education.</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,cursive">Now start to get those photos out!

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size:medium">Welcome to <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Trax FM's</a> first blog! Well! We started re-broadcasting mid-June 2014,and it seems we have hit the ground running! We have managed to "recruit" all the <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/presenterschedule" target="_blank">80's boys</a> and then some! We firstly got a non stop playlist whilst we recruited those <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/presenterschedule" target="_blank">presenters. </a> The music is a mixture of <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Soul,Reggae,Hip Hop,House,live Debate,Bhangra,Electro,Garage,Retro Pop,Drum & Bass,Disco,Funk,Jazz,Jazz Funk</a>...whatever!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size:medium">Our old partner <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Martin Shaw</a> was the very first presenter on Trax FM with the <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Soul Sessions. Every Tuesday at 8PM UK Time</a>. When people say "earnt their stripes" Martin falls into that category. Plugging for massive dance labels in the 80's,(<a href="http://www.streetsounds.co/" target="_blank">Streetsounds</a> for example) .Naturally club dj'ing for someone with Martin's knowledge comes naturally ,as you will tell when you hear <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Martin Shaw's Soul Sessions</a>! </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size:medium">Then of course we have the brilliant <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Shaun Gallagher with the Stax Of Trax show. </a>Shaun has done a sterling job for the last 5 years with the <a href="http://campsoulfestival.com/" target="_blank">Campsoul festival. </a>You can catch this</span> <span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size:medium">years best bits via the <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/campsoul-2014-tv" target="_blank">Campsoul TV on the Trax FM website</a>. Shaun plays a wonderful selection of classic <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Soul</a> to <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">Nu-Soul,with some wonderful Jazz & Jazz funk</a> classics <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank">every Thursday from 8PM UK time</a>.Shaun Gallagher's show was initially called "Across The Trax",but apparently another show was on the airwaves with the same name.....never mind!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size:medium">Then of course the Wednesday boys came on! Firstly a show in which we attempted to champion in 1985,but political constraints,and the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGZdDd5bKt4" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffff00">DTI busts forced the idea off the air</span></a>. However,the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffff00">internet</span></a>,(and it's global opportunities), have made it possible to bring this show to the internet airwaves. <a href="http://www.traxfm.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffff00">Judge Jim's Big Debate from 6pm live . </span></a>So far Judge Jim has covered off <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffff00">Guantamino Bay, </span></a>( even writing to the <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffff00">Whitehouse</span></a> & getting a reply!).
