Feelgood tunes to groove and soothe your soul. Dr Odoom is in for Dr Beat to prescribe a perfect tune for a listener whose week hasn’t got off to the best start!

Feel-good favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and sooth you. Melvin Odoom, in for DJ Spoony, serves up a brilliant selection of classic soul, disco, soulful house, R&B, funk, UK garage, reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, yacht rock and more. Our genial host also unveils his New 2 Odoom record of the week.

Spoony’s alter-ego Dr Beat is required in another surgery so trusty 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!
