Mark Radcliffe presents the show solo today; your noble manservant of the airwaves bringing you a selection of top tunes for your delectation. His guest today is another bringer of banging tunes, DJ Paul Oakenfold. Best known for his record production and trance DJing, he's one of the biggest DJs in the world. From playing soul records in a wine bar in Covent Garden in London, he spent several months in Ibiza in 1987, where he fell in love with the music he heard there. Using influences from this Ibiza sound, he produced The Happy Mondays' album 'Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches', as well as remixes for artists such as U2, Massive Attack, The Cure, New Order and The Shamen with his production partner Steve Osborne, under the collaborative name 'Perfecto'. He tells Mark all about the Ibiza rave scene at the time.

As well as this, there's the never-ending feature The Chain - which links together one record to another using YOUR suggestions - and Teatime Themetime, when you pit your musical wits to be first past that Chocolate Bourbon post and gain glory round the office biscuit barrel. AND if that weren't enough - we bring you the latest updates in the world of rock and pop in today's Music News.
