PREVIEW: Show 169, Blast 1386, 5 January 08 1800-2000, repeated 7 January 08 0000-0200

Coming up on this week's show:

* Music from Billy Ocean, Atlantic Starr, Community, Luther Vandross, Jiva, Rick James and many more

* A very special album kick's off this year's Album of the Month feature. I didn't expect to feature this for quite a while yet, but throughout January 2008 we'll play you two tracks a week from the brand new album from Reel People, called "Seven Ways To Wonder"

* The Brazilian Bit this week welcomes back Ed Motta for another outing, with a track entitled "Pisca-Alerta"

* We've got some rather chilled brand new UK garage this week in the Grooveline Garage, from Scott Tonis, called "Hold On"

* It's a stunning start also for the House of Grooveline in 2008, with a brand new track from Kimara Lovelace. Some are calling "When Can Our Love Begin" one of the best house tracks for years. Make up you own mind.

* With a new album coming out this year, we take a look at what Talc have done so far in the Grooveline Threeplay

* Plus lots more great music and music news
