Sega Mixer Drive... With Rexy

Everyone remembered a time when Sega ruled the console market, and that’s the era of choice for April’s Mystery Mix – the 1990s! It’s all about the fourth, fifth and sixth console generations with this selection of “totally radical” tunage!

No-one had to wait 26 years for another regular show - they're all around the corner and with plenty of fun selections. But the listeners had to endure just that for Streets of Rage 4 - adding a second reason to add some critical Sunday hype!

It's Easter Sunday, and it's also Sonic Free Week! For this episode, the blue blur took a backseat and allowed for other Sega franchises to get some representation - sweet-sounding tunes, whether you like chocolate or not!

This week’s regular show had a comfortable selection of tunes – including the first accordion-solo Remix Highlight (!) – and a slightly less comfortable discussion relating to socks. Always enjoy each show in the coziest clothing you own!

This show has had too many electric guitars and polysynths as of late, and so March’s Mystery Mix went in an unplugged direction. Nothing emphasizes a laid-back Sunday more than VGM arrangements with more natural musical instruments, right?

Rexy enjoys airing a lot of varied content in these regular shows. But even in the #10YearsLive aftermath, she acknowledged that there's some music genre territory that barely - or never - gets fully explored. Could arrangers attempt any of these ideas?

It’s the 10th anniversary of RadioSEGA LiVE! As part of the #10YearsLiVE event, this entire setlist – with the exception of the Remix Highlights - consisted of a bunch of memory-inducing tracks, mostly picked by the listeners. Here’s to 10 more years!

By some coincidence, this week's regular show was also hosted on International Women's Day! While not the entire setlist could comprise of female artists, there was love and respect in equal measure for Sega's ladies and this week's music selection.

After four weeks, the show finally had its first regular show of the season – or as regular as it could be, due to the threat of a Chinese viral strain. But new music is our own new entertainment, and the chat had been eager to mention their own!

The first mystery mix of the season had a focus on vocal tracks. All selections in the playlist had the human voice being used to great effect in leading them forward. Be prepared with a hairbrush and a bathroom - you may want to sing along!

The second half of the winter break catchup continued to deliver new material from late January and early February. With one such artist having done professional animé dub work, pipe dreams were alight for past Sega games getting adapted for TV!

SEGA Mixer Drive has returned for an eighth season, and like last year, the premiere has some fresh new cuts that defined the month of January. Of course, host and listeners alike had plenty of winter break tales to tell as well.

The first episode back after a lengthy Summer break was a special one - a listening party for "Timeless Ocean", an Ecco the Dolphin album by the Pixel Mixers. Enjoy 3 hours of aquatic tunes, and the label's first Sega related effort! Vote for your favourite tracks off "Timeless Ocean" by going to http://radiose.ga/ecco. The winner gets a nomination for this year's RadioSEGA's Fan Choice Remix of the Year award.

We thought a certain Nintendo plumber could steal the spotlight today, right? Not quite - while delivering 2 hours of Sega arrange tunes, the host couldn't help but think of the times Mario met Sonic in the past and had hopes for the future...!

Trailing on from the hottest February on record in the host's native UK, questions were raised regarding what would happen if two Sonic zones clashed and annihilated each other! Oh, and there were plenty of arrange tunes to listen to as well.

SEGA Mixer Drive has hit a regular show structure three episodes in, and it's in this one that marked the return of the Community Spotlight segment. You can also expect some banter relating to the Oscars, also happening that very same weekend...!

We're not quite out of the woods regarding new Winter music - this episode has a focus on what had been newly released during the first two weeks of February, as well as bringing back the Source Roulette and debuting the new School of Sega block!

SEGA Mixer Drive has returned for its seventh season - but in a completely revised Sunday evening format. Having great tunes at hand would never change, with this episode focusing on 10 new tracks that blew our host away in January.

Tonight's show took listeners to another world - both through discussion AND through music,including a quick response call for the Artist Jukebox and a certain Bayonetta fan favorite getting love on the Remix Highlights. That's one Summer influence!

The end-of-the-month Mystery Mix places the entire SMD setlist under one musical or gaming related theme. This week, we return towards our gaming youth, as every single game represented tonight is a side-scroller. If only if airwaves had pixels!
