Every week Sheffield Live brings you a fantastic, diverse and eclectic mixture of music within our schedule.

Our DJs and presenters (of all shows – not only music, but current affairs, comedy, sport, film reviews and more) love their music – just like you do.

So what have our presenters and volunteers been listening to this week? Here are just a few picks:

Stevlor, presenter of Soul Casino (Thursdays, 5-6pm): Jerry Fuller – Double Life. “From 1966 and one of the finest blue-eyed soul boys.”

And, Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs – Being Without You. “More famous for having the shortest song to ever get to number one – northern favourite ‘Stay’, but for my money this one ticks the box just as well.” [Listen to both tracks on the podcast of this week’s Soul Casino]

DJ Cardiac, presenter of Drop the Funk Drop the Bass (every Sunday, 1-3pm): Tomb Crew ft Rubi Dan & Serocee – The Sermon. “The track was definitely geared up towards carnival. The track delivers high energy with ragga influences seeping through from one of Toddla T’s sound boys Serocee and some quick tongue flow from Serocee, this is one to turn up loud and blow your whistles to.”

And: Preditah ft Zoe Kypri- Let’s take it back
“Preditah seems to be sitting on some very serious UK Garage Productions. This one has all the elements of an old skool garage track but pushing things forward with his super slick production along with the impressive vocals of up-and-coming vocalist Zoe Kypri.” Don’t miss DJ Cardiac this Sunday at 1pm! But if you can’t listen live, you can get the podcast here.

Graham Marshall, co-presenter of Spirit of the Wapentake (Wednesdays, 5-7pm): Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band – I’m Gonna Booglarize You. “From his ‘Spotlight Kid’ album, it’s a complete one-off.”

Sinead Rankin, co-presenter of Spirit of the Wapentake: The Foo Fighters – All My Life. [Listen to the Beefheart & Foo Fighters tracks on the podcast of this week’s Spirit of the Wapentake].

Laurence Peacock, presenter, each Wednesday, of Communities Live has been listening to a lot of Sam Carter, a folk musician who is playing at the Library Theatre next month.

Sam Hindley co-presents the Thank Goodness it’s Folk show on Fridays from 10am to noon. His pick: Gordie MacKeeman and his Rhythm Boys‘ – Ragtime Cowboy Joe. “Lively, cheerful and a great start to a radio programme,” and this track was indeed the opener for today’s Thank Goodness it’s Folk show – missed it? Podcast is here.

Danni and Marshall Smith are part of the presenting team for Friday’s Communities Live show. Danni picked John Legend‘s Ordinary People: “a track that makes me cry” and Marshall chose Daft Punk‘s “funky, fresh and feelgood” Get Lucky.

Paul Gregory presents It’s me, PG, every Saturday morning from 8 until 10am. What’s Paul been listening to? Santana‘s Samba Pa Ti, “my favourite track of all time,” says Paul.

Natz Beard, co-presenter of the Local Talent Show (every Friday, 4-5pm): “Local artist Philippa Hanna has just done a collaboration with BCee, ‘Back to the Street’, I can’t stop listening to it! Totally different from her usual releases the track is drum & bass meets Philippa and her amazing vocals. With over 100,000 views on the YouTube video, it’s going down a storm. Philippa has also just released a video for her own song Hollywood which is well worth a watch.”

Dale Le Fevre‘s Max Chance Show (Tuesdays, 5pm) always features an eclectic playlist – Dale’s been playing and listening to a lot of David Wax Museum. Have a listen to the podcast of Dale’s show from this Tuesday.

Andy Cooper – whose Communities Live show on Thursday featured special guest Sarah Taylor – has been listening to Emily Heath, “with more than a passing musical resemblance to the fantastic Sandi Thom, the track Emily says she’s most proud of is Sugar and Sweeteners – Emily’s Soundcloud page is here.”

And Jamie Veitch (poster of this article and soon to present four shows about climbing and cycling in Sheffield) – Payroll Union’s Mary Lamson and, really the entire album, The Mule and The Elephant. “Pete David’s stunning fingerpicking and searing lyrics and the rollicking rhythms of the band combine to create a bittersweet album of americana, bluegrass and folk rock that, once I start, I have to listen to all the way through.”

Just a few picks here from our presenters. Remember, if you miss your favourite programmes on Sheffield Live you can download the podcasts afterwards. And why not discover some new music by tuning into some different shows?
