Future Sounds - Clara's Future


BBChris

Recommended Posts

Hiya, I started wondering what the Future Sounds Show will look like when Clara takes over. What will change and which features will be kept and which removed? What do you think and what would you like? 

What is known is that it will definitely remain the hottest record in the world, as it is Radio 1's showcase and they are very proud of it. But what about the rest? Will there be a people party playlist? Live gig? What might be added? 

I'm afraid Clara won't be as lively as Annie and won't speak as well during songs as Annie did. Also the mixing and transitioning between songs may be a bit weaker, but we'll see :)

I suspect they will change the imaging and the jingles will relate more strongly to the BBC R1 character.

The package Annie uses has been in for at least 5 years now hasn't it

I kind of expect Clara will likely maybe start her tenure in hire new slot with some big interviews and some big hottest records and sessions. It will be interesting to see what is changed with on the Monday show as there won’t be a power down hour some maybe about listnwing parties and maybe just some more elongated sessions interviews and playlists driven by new music. Think it’s finding like with Craig Charles will do with his new afternoon show on 6M stuff to make the music champion and refreshing that to make it exciting think it would be good to maybe see like a weekly playlists that can explore genres and sub genres. Maybe something bit like that exchange thing that Annie tried to do that was bit like Lamarq’s round table think it needs to be that gateway in to the culture of different music scenes and the story’s that define it

I’d be interested to see Clara’s take on the Future Sounds show. Does anyone know how much input Annie has into the songs selected for the show or is it mainly the producer? Because if Annie does have lots of input then I wonder if we might see a change of tone with some of the music played when Clara takes over? For example I could see more RnB and Soul being played because I know that Clara is really into those genres. There may be somewhat of a decrease in the amount of dance played too?

Indeed. The Music Week article with Aled mentions that he put the feelers out to Clara when she started covering the slot last year how she would feel taking on Future Sounds. It's presumably what was being alluded to in the article about DJ's not being moved out of London... and Clara being at the forefront of their future plans.

    • Fair play to Jordan north who’s got himself to 5th least distracting, but Greg has managed 8th MOST distracting, and Rickie who is 12th most distracting.
    • 29th April has Alyx Holcombe in for Daniel P Carter on the Rock show and Nels Hylton in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday 6th May (May Day Bank Holiday) schedules are completely different. Looks like it's a Countdown to Radio 1's Big Weekend day. Changed timeslots in the morning as well with no presenters listed. 6am-10am (Breakfast slot changed from 7am-10:30am) 10am-1pm (Mid morning/early afternoon slot changed from 10:30-12:45pm) 1pm-3:30pm (As normal) 3:30pm-6pm (No Newsbeat) 6pm-8pm (Replaces New Music Show) Rest of evening schedule as normal.
    • What does that even mean? 😂
    • Not sure what it really means, but Scott Mills is one of the least distracting DJs according to new research. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-13283609/Most-distracting-radio-podcast-hosts-driving-revealed-Mark-Wright-Chris-Evans-list.html It says Radio 1 though, which is not only inaccurate, but also I can only imagine it applying to his Radio 2 show. How many sounds effects did he used to play on Radio 1, ha.
    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
