Idris Elba! Alesha Dixon! And Brian Jackson is the Rewind Selector!

Idris Elba sends a surprise voice note, Alesha Dixon shares her new track, and musician Brian Jackson chooses the tracks that take him back to his youth in Rewind Selector.

Feel-good favourites, hidden gems and fresh tunes to make you groove. DJ Spoony serves up a brilliant selection of soulful house, classic soul, disco, RnB, UK Garage, Reggae, hip hop, doo-wop, funk, dance remixes, and much more.

Idris Elba sends a surprise voice note and Alesha Dixon does too, along with an exclusive first play of her latest single 'Chargie' re-worked by production genius Zed Bias.

Brian Jackson is the 'Rewind Selector', choosing the tracks that take him back to the dancefloors of his youth. Brian met Gil Scott-Heron whilst they were studying at Lincoln University, soon beginning a decade-long writing, producing and recording partnership which produced albums like 'Pieces Of a Man' and 'Winter in America' as well as tracks like 'The Bottle'. Brian has since gone on to work with the likes of Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayers and Kool & The Gang. His new album
'Now More Than Ever', featuring re-interpretations of classic tracks he recorded with Gil Scott-Heron, is out in October.

Spoony wraps things up with a ‘Midnight Feast’ track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business!
