Time to look back on some of our favourite funky flavours from the past twelve months in this extra special 'Best of 2025' Hang Loose show. There's a heap of hip-hop in the house, plenty of party beats, some soul, funk and a fat sack of other top tracks that kept us bopping from January to December. Plus, some Xmas rapping from our new Christmas EP, a tune from the Jalapeno Twenty Five compilation, some picks from our own productions from the last year, and a blazing B2B mix to warm yer cockles. Hope you had a good year.
