Kelvin and Danny have bagged themselves a radio show on Stoke station 6 Towns Radio, starting this Thursday at 9pm.
Obviously named rAdiO wOnK, this weekly 3 hour session will allow them to indulge themselves and you in their history of house. They’re going to give you more of what you get at the now legendary wOnK pArties interspersed with house music from back in the day to records from the future.
You know how they are!
Interviews, stories and a little bit of weirdness and it’ll be an unmissable weekly event.
Kelvin had this to say:
“This is going to be so much fun. rAdiO wOnK is really the culmination of a life long obsession with underground dance music. You can expect to hear us get excited about hot records old and new , with plenty of exclusive tracks , and some exciting guests lined up for the coming weeks. Off the beaten track disco madness and mixed up wOnK pArty classics from 30 years of that house music feeling.”
The best way to get tuned in is at www.6towns.co.uk, where there’s a player or a host of other ways you can find the show.

The show starts tomorrow Thursday 24th February and is then weekly from 9pm -11pm every Thursday, repeated at 2am Sunday mornings just in time for you to stick it on when you roll back home from a Saturday nights woNkeRy!
House music as in the stuff with the original, simple ethic of classic drum machines, sing-able basslines and heartfelt vocals. For instant proof of this, remind yourself of one of 2010′s BIGGEST.
There’s even PIANOS! (without any trendy guilt of enjoying ourselves too much!). Chicago style acid tracks and motorik drum workouts are smashing the cool dancefloors of Berlin ,Tokyo, Stafford and London. Acid house, it seems, is once again the DJ’s and ultimately, the dancer’s chosen mode of hedonism.
This Armando edit has been big for us all last year and sounded epic at Andrew Weatherall’s party in Shoreditch just before Christmas.
Even the dubstep kids are discovering house. There’s a young crowd among the dancers at our WoNk parties who discovered electronic music through the dubstep world and now they’re embracing house just like some of their heroes are.
The thing is though, disco hasn’t disappeared this time! Even though the tidal wave of average edit mania had threatened to send it the way of lilac skinny flared baggies. There’s loads of great new disco flavoured tunes and some great edits too. Cosmic Boogie’s new Boogie Originals label has a top EP on the way, it’s a collaborative affair with hot tracks from from Andy Ash, Neil Diablo and the man like Stu himself, Cosmic Boogie so keep a look out for that.
We reckon it’s all about the melting pot. House, disco, techno, funk, dub, balearic and all the good stuff from the sub-genres that get created. Who cares what it’s called… as long as it makes you smile and gets you moving.
You may have heard that we’ve had this in the works. Our most helpful friends in the North, All Ears distribution, are helping us get a rather lovely DigiPak CD (designed by himself at Eyeronik Eyekonik) of some of the highlights of the Creative Use series. Most of the original vinyl versions of these sought [...]
As it’s my first post in person, I’m setting out my stall. This is the collective conscience of us 2 brothers. A stream of ill advised rantings about why MP3s are only useful for low level reference, what music we’re feeling new and old, and why Kenny Dalglish, Bruce Lee & Raymond Scott (amongst others) [...]
We’re dead chuffed that the first EP by Rowdent on WONK went down a storm. We’re even more chuffed that they’re back again with a second offering! With another fiendish mixed bag of cuts which includes Cjords, Lurch and Machine Drummer, RowDent’s new E.P is released on 7th February on WONK. You can listen to [...]
Turn up the speakers for Wonk’s introduction to the fiery new talent of Rowdent with his self-titled EP! We’ve found someone to make our house hearts beat a little faster and had to have them on the label – so we’ve signed ‘em up and have a couple of EP’s on their way. This is [...]
