Dr Odoom sits in for Dr Beat, ready to prescribe a tune for a listener!

Melvin Odoom sits in with feel-good tunes! 'Dr. Beat' is away, so his "locum" is on hand to prescribe a perfect tune for a listener whose week hasn’t got off to the best start.

Melvin Odoom sits in for DJ Spoony to serve up a brilliant selection of soulful house, classic soul, disco, RnB, UK Garage, Reggae, hip hop, doo-wop, funk, dance remixes, and much more. Our genial host also unveils his ‘New 2 Odoom’ record of the week and shares a fantastic ‘Monday Mashup’, two tracks blended together to delight and surprise in equal measure!

Spoony’s alter-ego ‘Dr Beat’ is away on one of his adventure holidays so locum Dr. Odoom is on hand to prescribe a musical pick-me-up for a lucky listener. Whether your Monday has gone spectacularly off the rails, you’re recovering from an eventful weekend, or you simply need a track to mark a special occasion, get in touch for a “telephone consultation” in exchange for the perfect tune to match your situation! Text 88291, WhatsApp 08000 288 291 or e-mail spoony@bbc.co.uk.

The ‘Midnight Feast’ track wraps up each show. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business!
