Legendary dance duo Orbital bring some seasonal cheer to the 6 Mix with their choice of musical delights.

Best known for seminal dance tunes, including Chime and Halcyon, Orbital reformed in 2009 after a five year hiatus, headlining festivals all over the world including the Big Chill Festival and Get Loaded In The Park.

In this programme they play their favourite choices of 2011, some electronic classics and also the music which has inspired their forthcoming new album, due out in April.

The last hour sees the duo dropping an exclusive hour mix to help bring in the New Year.
