The show is the only one of it's kind to play classic house, disco, electro and hip hop; it also features some modern music, which the presenters feel sound old school, or are influenced by old music or which they deem to be either future classics or are particularly unique. Local dance music has also started to feature, particularly from Irish records labels. Notable guests on the show have included former Hacienda DJ and founder of M People, Mike Pickering and singer Rowetta of The Happy Mondays. The show is presented by Englishman Simon Palmer and Irishman Padraic Marren, using records from Simon's collection.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or shows:
“We all participate in weaving the social fabric; we should therefore all participate in patching the fabric when it develops holes—mismatches between old expectations and current realities.”

“Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves.”
