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.

on the grid.

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
