Saturdays are never quiet

Wake up with Swarzy for bold energy, fire tunes, a fresh smoothie and one mystery game that always gets messy. Expect bangers, chaos and something you didn’t see coming.

Long Saturday mornings hit different with Swarzy. Whether you’re up early for work, gym or good vibes, this is the show that brings the energy from the very first track.

You’ll get bold bangers from across Black music, a cold smoothie recipe to start your day right, and a brand new Track of the Day that deserves a spot in your playlist. And then there’s the mystery game — you never know which one it’ll be, but trust, it always causes chaos.

Add in Swarzy’s stories, shoutouts and one totally unexpected moment every week, and you’ve got the ultimate Saturday morning fix.

Listen live or catch up on BBC Sounds, or ask your smart speaker to play BBC Radio 1Xtra.
