Party Anthems seems to have quietly changed back to adding in some classic tracks these last few weeks. Pjanoo, Mr Saxobeat and Avicii just some of those who've cropped up in recent weeks.

 I noticed that and it was good to hear a few older songs mixed in there too

Those were the songs when I started going out so they sounded perfect mixed in with other new dance tracks

really I wish that were what Dance Anthems would be like - rather than older and newer tracks being separated into different zones have them side-by-side so you never quite know what's next.

Yeah I think I'd prefer it like that too, it's still a really good show however and they seem to do well in keeping it fresh with the music, a good show to have on when working weekends

Yes, think it would be more attractive listen. I think Radio 2 could do with its own Dance Anthems programme. I think a mix of eras of new, classic and the in-betweens of new and classic would be best mixed up on the saturday drive slot.

It works to have a more of a mix of something familiar with something different hearing old Daft Punk next to new Jamie XX & Honey Dijon would work. Do a request mix or have listener to select a few tracks as they party starter playlist with choosing favourite classic tune with recent favourite from in the club, festival or soundcloud type of thing.

Totally agree on Dance Anthems. But instead of getting a E list celebrity to do it, they need to bring back Dave Pearce if he would be up for it. He was there when they were new, played them on Radio 1 and to the crowds then. I'd love it to make a return. Properly.

Or maybe bring in a rotation of reputable DJ's from way back on a router. Judge Jules, Sonique, Dave Lee (Joey Negro), Pete Tong if he wanted a go. That would be really good to hear.

on the grid.

listened back on sounds or iPlayer Radio whatever it was at the time of his New Year’s Eve/day show from a few years back fitted had a good mix of old and new music that didn’t quite expect to hear on radio 2

His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.

    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
    • - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover. - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only). - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July. - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August. - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August. - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.

    • Did you note down everyone who was on Sunday and at what times? I managed to get: Charlie H 11-1, Oré 11-1, Dean 11-1:30, James 11-1:30 Greg 1-3, Vicky 1-3, Danni 1-3:30, Matt 1-4, Jamie 1-4, Charlie T 3-4:30 Lauren L, Sam, Nat and Swarzy all joined from 3:30 but didn’t manage to listen back in time to know what happened after this. 
    • Ore is in for Vicky on Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th July. CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 20th July.
    • Next Tuesday and Wednesday is now just Jamie and Danni on Going Home.
