Outer Drive is put together by Mark Burgess and Andrew Shearer. Mark has been DJing and collecting records for well over fifteen years, while Andrew was originally a listener to Marks previous show Afrodesia. This is where he developed and refined a keen ear for all things deep and soulful with a strong connection to the U.S and its musical history from Tamla Motown to present. Outer Drive is an opportunity for us to delve deeper into our record collections and dust off the records that have influenced us and the contemporary music we play.
Both Mark and Andrew take inspiration from their forebears Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Roy Ayers, and contemporaries such as DJ Spinna, DJ Harvey, Moodymann, Theo Parrish, and Recloose. Now, they have their own show Outer Drive, Tuesday 6-8pm on George FM, where they play the signature sounds of soul, funk, disco, r&b, afro beat and deep house.
