Feelgood tunes to groove and soothe your soul. Dr Odoom is in for Dr Beat to prescribe a perfect tune for a listener whose week hasn’t got off to the best start!

Feelgood favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and soothe you. Melvin Odoom, in for DJ Spoony, serves up a brilliant selection of classic soul, disco, soulful house, R&B, funk, UK garage, reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, yacht rock and more. Our genial host also unveils his New 2 Odoom record of the week.

Spoony’s alter-ego Dr Beat is required in another surgery so trusty locum Dr Odoom is on hand to prescribe a musical pick-me-up for a lucky listener. Whether your Monday has gone spectacularly off the rails, you’re recovering from an eventful weekend, or you simply need a track to mark a special occasion, get in touch for a 'telephone consultation' in exchange for the perfect tune to match your situation!
