Explosive Hits!

Before streaming services, podcasts, the interwebs and search engines, if you wanted to discover new music you had to have a wide circle of friends, browse the record store, or attentively listen to the radio. And then along came the compilation album – a mix of a selection from the hits of the day and a few ‘filler’ tracks thrown in for substance and variety. Without the help of personalised algorithms, these albums could be hit and miss. But among the big hits could often be found some genuine lesser known gems that might take you to the work of artists that you had never heard before. So prepare to be dazzled with some explosive rippers on todays show featuring some of these fabulous tracks.
