Coming up on this week's show:

* Music from Crown Heights Affair, Nu Soul Orchestra, Weldon Irvine, Azymuth, Courtney Pine featuring Lynden David Hall, Mother Earth and many many more!

* Unfortunately, due to the perils of snail mail, this month's Album of the Month is still on its way across the Atlantic to me. Therefore, we cannot feature it on this week's show. Hopefully next week we can start playing tracks from the Earth Wind & Fire tribute, Interpretations

* Last week I said that the number of quality soulful house promo at the moment is incredible. Well it's even better this week, and I had a real struggle picking just one. However, I went for the track which I think will define the sound of house music in the summer of 2007. Brand new from Ijah, their take on "Nightlife"

* Continuing the feelgood summer theme (can you tell this week's show was recorded on 18Âșc Monday?!), the Grooveline Threeplay focuses on one of the biggest talents to come from these shores in recent years, with three tracks back to back from Nate James.

* Plus lots of music news, gig information and more
