In this high-octane episode of the ‘Fab Guy on a Bike’ show, DJ Moto takes listeners on a two-hour journey through the landscape of hard rock and heavy metal. Broadcasting on a Monday evening, Moto tackles the ‘Monday blues’ head-on with a playlist that seamlessly blends foundational classics from Deep Purple, Mountain, and Rainbow with cutting-edge new releases from the international scene. Between the heavy riffs, Moto shares personal anecdotes about the ‘four seasons in one day’ UK weather, his preparation for camping at the Breaking Bands Festival, and his philosophy on why heavy metal is the ultimate gym companion.
The show also serves as a platform for emerging talent, featuring world exclusives and deep dives into new singles. Notable segments include a technical tip for indie bands regarding ID3 tagging, a spotlight on the Dutch singer Inge Agustina, and an exclusive first listen to Ruled By Raptors. Moto keeps the energy consistent, bridging the gap between old-school fans and those looking for the next big thing in rock. The episode concludes with a sprawling, soulful epic by Black Country Communion and a classic dedication to his listeners, reminding everyone to keep it ‘rubber side down’ until the next broadcast.
