Fresh Start To The Week

Another major difference between this show and Mike's show was the live DJ, each week there would be two or three live sessions from DJ Roger Johnson spread throughout the show. This was known as the 'RJ Scratch Attack' with each session lasting around 10-15 minutes, this was done live on where he would mix up a few records with a bit of cutting and scratching. It seems that Roger Johnson became a little unreliable as there were a few shows where he didn't show up! Various DJ's filled in for him, Richie Rich appeared a few times and did some amazing mixes using old and new Hip Hop from the previous few years, other DJ's like Simon Harris and DJ Detonate (Demon Boyz) also appeared, eventually Roger Johnson was replaced by a DJ named K.C.J. who came up with some really inventive mixing using both current and older Hip Hop.

Unlike Mike's show a chart run down was not a major feature of the show, although Dave would sometimes read out the Groove Hip Hop Sales Chart Top 10. However, this was usually brushed over quite quickly and done within 20 seconds with no focus on it, so nothing like Mike's show.

A couple of things added to the live feel of the show, listeners were able to ring in during the show and leave dedications and shout outs which were broadcast sporadically between the records played. There was also a weekly phone line rap competition where Dave would name a subject matter and wannabe rappers would rap their raps down the phone, with the winner being played on air and sometimes invited into the studio to do a small session for broadcast.
