Sukh Retro

The golden era, sixties to eighties, playing without a break.

This station is not streaming yet. The schedule below is what is planned, and this player starts working the moment the stream goes live.

About this station

Sukh Retro is built for the era when a song arrived with a full orchestra behind it. Expect live string sections, harmonium and tabla, brass stabs from the cabaret numbers, and the deep analogue hiss of tape. It is film music from the sixties through the eighties, sequenced by mood rather than decade, so a ballad can sit next to a dancefloor number.

Through the day

All times Australian Eastern.

First LightGentle morning melodies and soft orchestral openers, to start the day slowly.
The Long PlayerA full soundtrack played in its original running order, one film score at a time.
Strings AttachedThe arrangers' craft: interludes, counter-melodies, brass charts and string sections.
Cabaret HourThe brass, the bongos and the dancefloor numbers of the seventies, back to back.
Duets at DuskMale and female playback pairings, the call and answer of the golden era.
Tape HissLate, quiet and analogue: ballads and background scores running until morning.

Programmes

Weekdays 09:00The Long Player

One soundtrack, played whole and in sequence, the way it was pressed. Instrumentals and reprises included, nothing skipped.

Weekdays 16:00Cabaret Hour

The seventies dancefloor end of the era: brass, bongos, walking bass and the numbers written to fill a nightclub set.

Nightly 19:00Duets at Dusk

An hour of two voices. Playback pairings sequenced so each duet answers the one before it.
