At 4pm yesterday, dance music fans tuned into a huge new energy and sound as Capital Dance went live for the very first time, with MistaJam playing the biggest dance anthems and club mixes.
MistaJam is back on Capital Dance today from 4pm before he takes the reins of the Capital network from 7pm, launching the all-new Capital Weekender show, going live in the mix across the UK on both Capital and Capital Dance.

TRANSCRIPT – MISTAJAM ON CAPITAL BREAKFAST WITH ROMAN KEMP TODAY (Friday 2nd October)
MistaJam reflects on his first show: “I loved it, genuinely. For a start I haven’t been able to say anything for a while, so not only did it feel like “SURPRISE!” but also like “SURPRISE! I get to do my dream”, to play music that I love. /And it seems that people are really, really loving what we’re doing already from day 1. It means there’s a new energy, there’s a new vibe, being able to do that and bring it to people in 2020 is something that I’m really passionate about. It’s great!”
MistaJam on what’s in store on the all-new Capital Weekender on Friday & Saturday nights from 7pm: “It’s all of those energetic, big party vibes that we oh so need in 2020. I’ve got you covered, every Friday & Saturday from 7 o’clock. The big dance bangers from the past, the present and the future. All of the energy, all of the mixing, all of the vibes. Now listen, I know there’s no such thing as a club at this moment in time, however I invite everybody to turn on the radio, charge yourself £5.50 for a drink in their own bar, maybe even turn up the heating, charge yourself to leave your own coat in your own cupboard, bring that experience to your front rooms!”
HOW TO LISTEN: Capital Dance is available on DAB digital radio and on Global Player on your smart speaker (“play Capital Dance”), iOS or Android device and at capitaldance.co.uk
