ANNOUNCEMENT: Problems at Blast 1386

Unfortunately Grooveline has not been able to air its most recent shows on Blast 1386 for almost a month now. There is a network issue at the radio station which is making it impossible to upload new shows onto the playout system. Hence, an old show is currently going out each week.

In the meantime, Grooveline continues to be available exclusively via Mixcloud. The show will always be available this way, regardless of if it also goes out on Blast 1386 or not. Efforts are being made to make sure the Mixcloud service is more enjoyable, which has included an increase in audio quality.

At the moment, there is no resolution in sight at Blast 1386. This is extremely disappointing, and if the situation is to continue much longer, we will be faced with no option but to seek a new home. Although we would much prefer this didn't happen, and that the show stayed on the station.

Updates will appear on this page.

* We have a brand new Album of the Month for March 2012, which is the second album from Argentinan recording artist Leila Martin, titled "Soul Ascension"

* The House of Grooveline this week revisits THE definitive piano-led house track which started it all. Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body", with Curtis McClain on vocals. Maurice Joshua has taken on remix duties for this 2012 re-release, which controvertially has no piano at all! But takes this track to new heights.

* The Grooveline Threeplay this week takes a look at the more soulful offerings from Wyclef Jean, with three tracks back to back.

* All this plus much more!
