In this episode of the ‘Fab Guy on a Bike Show’, DJ Moto takes listeners on a high-octane journey through the landscape of heavy rock and classic metal. Starting with an epic ode to Japanese history via Grand Prix’s ‘Samurai’, the show quickly transitions into Moto’s signature mix of ‘lovely jubbly’ new releases and timeless classics. Throughout the two-hour broadcast, Moto maintains a professional yet accessible vibe, checking in on the UK’s rare summer heat and interacting with his international audience—notably sending a special musical shout-out across the globe to Peru.
The middle segments of the show provide a platform for emerging talent, featuring new sounds from King Kraken and the social-political commentary of Acadia. Moto doesn’t shy away from the digital age’s complexities, spinning tracks that touch on ‘weapons of mass distraction’ and the evolving nature of the music industry. As the show draws to a close, it shifts gears into a blues-infused tribute to the legendary Jeff Healey before wrapping up with a high-energy finish that leaves the door wide open for next week’s ride. It’s a masterclass in radio curation, blending the nostalgia of 1974 with the cutting edge of 2026.
