Radio 1's Dance Anthems is a radio show broadcast on BBC Radio 1 between 4pm and 7pm on Saturdays, and on BBC Radio 1 Dance between 4pm and 8pm on Saturdays. The show, which is currently presented by Charlie Hedges, plays two hours of classic dance tracks and remixes (three on BBC Radio 1 Dance) and one hour of contemporary dance tracks and remixes.
Radio 1's Dance Anthems is a dance music show on BBC Radio 1, first broadcast on 26 July 1997.[1] It was presented by Dave Pearce and was broadcast until Pearce left the station in August 2007.
In November 2017, the Saturday show was taken over by MistaJam after Danny Howard started presenting a new Friday night show on BBC Radio 1.[3] MistaJam also took over the Friday show temporarily between October and December 2017, and again between March and May 2018 whilst Greg James was presenting Sounds Like Friday Night.[2] MistaJam's Saturday show was divided into three parts (from November 2018, these parts were listed as separate shows).[2] The first part, from 4pm to 5pm, played "classic" dance anthems (dance tracks and remixes that were generally more than 3 years old). The second part, from 5pm to 6pm, played "today's" dance anthems (dance tracks and remixes that were less than 18 months old). The third part, from 6pm to 7pm, played "future" dance anthems (recently released dance tracks and remixes). Features in the Future Dance Anthems part included the "Self-Certified Selection", the "R1 Dance Chart", and the "Future Mix". During MistaJam's tenure as presenter of the Saturday show, it became the most listened to on-demand programme on BBC Sounds among the under-35 demographic.[4] As part of temporary schedule changes from March to August 2020 in the COVID-19 pandemic, the show was extended with one extra hour of classic dance anthems from 3pm to 4pm on Saturdays.[5]
A spin-off show entitled Radio 1's Party Anthems is broadcast on BBC Radio 1 between 3pm and 4pm on Fridays. It is currently presented by Matt Edmondson and Mollie King and features one hour of feel-good classic and contemporary dance tracks as well as dance remixes of current popular songs.
Radio 1's Party Anthems was created in July 2019 by rebranding the Friday edition of Dance Anthems as part of the introduction of the Radio 1 Anthems series of shows, however the format of the show remains very similar to its predecessor (the only difference being that a small number of classic dance tracks are now played in addition to contemporary dance tracks and remixes). The show was originally presented by Scott Mills and broadcast between 6pm and 7pm on Fridays; however, schedule changes from September 2020 meant that the show moved to an earlier 3pm to 4pm timeslot on Fridays and was now hosted by Dev.[8] Dev was replaced by the current presenters, Matt Edmondson and Mollie King, from January 2021 onwards after Dev left the station at the end of the previous month. From October 2022, Jamie Laing temporarily co-presented with Matt Edmondson whilst King was on maternity leave.[9]

Danny Howard is live from San Antonio's Sunset Strip in Ibiza with a huge night of dance music, including Erick Morillo, Rudimental, Blonde, Duke Dumont, Gregory Porter, Annie Mac, Pete Tong and MistaJam.
For many of them, this will be their first experience of Ibiza - and what an introduction. Taking place in peak summer, with school, college and university holidays well underway, the island is already firing on all cylinders, the temperature is at its hottest and the dancefloors at their craziest.
What song would you include in a playlist called Emotional Music To Dance To? For Romy, that mix would include late '90s and early 2000s dance anthems like Sonique's "It Feels So Good" and Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone."
It'd be a collection of songs that Romy heard sneaking into Soho clubs as a teenager growing up in London. It's that world of entrancing dance music, and the memories attached to them, that color Romy's vibrant solo debut, Mid Air.
It's a sound and feeling the guitarist and vocalist for The xx teased nearly eight years ago on "Loud Places," a single from her bandmate Jamie xx's own solo record, In Colour. Romy all but confirmed a dance record was on the way when she dropped the euphoric solo track "Lifetime" in 2020.
