ABOUT THE SHOW 
The sixties didn’t end on 31 December 1968, quite on the contrary: the last few years of the 60s saw the emergence of sounds that faded into the seventies, setting new patterns for the years to come.
The music became heavier, more complex and experimental – drawing on unexpected sources such as avant-garde and classical. Simultaneously, more space was allowed for truly idiosyncratic projects, ranging from the intimate (Ronnie Lane’s Slim Chance) to the extravagant (Jon Lord’s ‘Gemini Suite’).
This metamorphosis of pop into rock also triggered many established acts to reinvent themselves – think The Rolling Stones.

ROCK ON! features psychedelic, heavy, prog and more innovating sounds  spanning the late sixties and the early seventies.

Broadcast on Wednesdays, ROCK ON! is presented in turns by Dan and Ed, showcasing their particular tastes.

OVER DIT PROGRAMMA
De jaren zestig eindigden niet op 31 december 1968, wel integendeel. Tijdens de laatste paar jaar van de sixties braken immers innoverende geluiden door – geluiden die in de jaren zeventig overvloeiden en gaandeweg het muziekpatroon voor de daarop volgende jaren uitstippelden.

Die muziek klonk zwaarder, harder, vertoonde complexe structuren en omarmde het experiment – inclusief uit onverwachte bronnen zoals klassiek en avant-garde. Tegelijk was er voldoende ruimte voor hoogstpersoonlijke projecten, gaande van intiem (Ronnie Lane’s Slim Chance) tot extravagant werk (‘Gemini Suite’ van Jon Lord).
De gedaanteverwisseling van Pop naar Rock noopte heel wat vaste waarden tot herbronning – denk aan The Rolling Stones.
In ROCK ON ! draaien we  psychedelische, heavy, progressieve en meer vernieuwende geluiden die het eind van de sixties en het begin van de seventies omspannen.

ROCK ON! wordt uitgezonden op woensdag. De samenstelling is beurtelings in handen van Dan en Ed, die er hun eigen toets aan geven.
