On this instalment we share stories of our recent trips to Ibiza and Glastonbury and of course we've carefully selected some of the absolute best music from this year's festival. We have a couple of soulful numbers taking inspiration from last month's show, a first ever double offering? and as always an incredible legend track, from the year Ben was born, 74 or 84...you decide. ;)2023-07-251h 06Small Hours02:09 May 2023We're joined for this episode by our regular guest Tom Setterfield who brought with him a fantastic new track(thanks Tom!).

Small Hours02:08 November 2022We're very pleased to bring you our latest show which features an eclectic mix of old faves, new beats, the odd wildcard and a couple of bangers from the 80’s which have had us very excited - all thrown together with some stories of what has kept us busy this summer.2022-11-061h 19Small Hours02:07 May 2022It's been a little while since we last recorded, but we've used that additional time to find some extra special tracks to play for you. We have selected some fantastic new stuff of course, an old one which means a lot to us both and a haunting last tune which is definitely worth sticking around for. Remember you can get access to all the track listings on our website www.smallhourslondon.co.uk. Enjoy!2022-05-141h 08Small Hours02:06 December 2021ITTTTTTTTTT'S CHRISTMAAAAAAAS!
This time of year is all about spending time with friends and family and that's exactly what we've done with this special show. Featuring a lovely suggestion from an old guest Tom Setterfield and snippets from a very new one Effy (who sounds like he's built for Radio like his Dad). Hope you enjoy the show as much as we did recording it. We'll be back with some new shiz in the new year - if we haven't locked us all down again. xxx2021-12-231h 11
Small Hours02:05 September 2021Our talk of Ibiza inevitably led us to this extra special show - extended in length without losing quality - That's what she said!

Expect some heartfelt moments, mega mixes and plenty of laughs - all the things you might expect from the next Ibiza trip (IT'S ON THE GREEN LIST).2021-09-241h 46Small Hours02:04 July 2021Slightly late in publishing this very chilled summer edition of Small Hours but hopefully this means you can remember fondly if you managed to get away (we hope you did) or for those who weren't as fortunate try and cling onto what never really began! Expect some post punk vibes, a rather gorgeous legend track alongside our usual inane chatter as we ask the burning question - what do you do in the bath?!2021-09-011h 12Small Hours02:03 June 2021Although our monthly podcast is fast becoming a bi-annual affair (don't look at us, blame Boris), it's meant that we've been given that extra time to craft an extra special set which has all the hallmarks of a Small Hours show but features some sounds you might not ordinarily hear us play. Enjoy listening and hopefully we'll shortly be with you back on the regular.2021-06-251h 11Small Hours02:02 October 2020We're delighted to be back in a new look studio and playing music we love!
