All aboard the Pure Spice starship! Captain Manara is back in the cockpit, charting a cosmic three-hour mission through sound and space. Engage hyperdrive as we cruise past Bollywood house mashups, drift through deep Panjabi nebulae and marvel at classic club constellations. And if you look carefully you may even encounter a surprise celestial Christmas drop! Listen out for familiar frequencies seamlessly fused with sounds from the newest frontiers of Asian and global dance music - with songs from Arvee, Jungli, Ghost, Bally-M, MK3 DUBZ, 2NV and many more. PLUS: Buckle up for a new Shades On mix, landing on a planet so wild it might just tilt the whole galaxy. Yep! It’s about to be a TRIP! Produced in Birmingham by Glenvale Media for BBC Asian Network.
