Lucio

added 05 July 2005 at 17.49

From Uni radio to late night talkshow host and rock show DJ, the award-winning presenter finally arrives, serving up Xfm's Drivetime show.

Taking in unsuccessful nights at the student union, a stint at Lambeth Council, dancing to Bronski Beat and booing Sheena Easton, Lucio's road to Xfm has certainly been an eventful one. Find out more in his biography clicking here. But since joining us he's leapt from the weekend Breakfast Show over to the highly prestigious Drivetime Show.

Lucio On Air:

Listen to Lucio on air every weekday from Monday to Thursday from 16:00-19:00 and Fridays from 3:00-6:00 (check the Xfm Schedule for more info by clicking here) and you'll be treated to this cornucopia of pure unrefined priceless radio gold.

Lucio's Record Of The Week

The Killers 'When You Were Young' [listen] They're back and judging by this, the first single from their new massively anticipated new album, they're better than ever. But what do you think? Let us know what you think by texting in the studio on 83XFM or clicking here.

 

Win Win Win!

• Everyday this week Lucio will be giving away weekend tickets to the Electric Gardens Festival (on August 5 and 6) including camping, where you'll get a chance to see The Charlatans, The Automatic, The Fratellis, Mystery Jets, Jamie T, Audio Bullys and loads more. Sweet eh?

Brand New Music

Easy. Each day at 4.15pm Lucio will be playing out a brand new track - something you might not have heard before - and we want you to vote using the poll below to let us know what you think. If more like it than not, then maybe we'll play it out again.

Today's new tune is:

While yesterday's track was....

 ...And Now For Something Completely Different:

At 5.40pm every day we will play something suggested by you, that's utter unexpected, maybe even un-Xfm-like and completely different to anything you'll have heard on the radio that day. Got a suggestion? Then text in the studio on 83XFM or e-mail it to us by clicking here. So far we've had: 

July

Bananarama 'Robert De Niro's Waiting'
Joe Dolce 'Shuddup Ya Face'
Don Mclean 'American Pie

Monster - The Remix

The Automatic have linked up with U-MYX to create an alternate version of their excellent track 'Monster' (where you can play around with all the components of the song and create your own mix.

Lucio Leaving?

Yes, its true. As we reported here, from August Lucio will be leaving the hallowed halls of Xfm. Many of you have been gettign in touch and asking about the move, so we thought we'd ask him to write you a message, which he has. And here it is.
 
"I've had an amazing time at Xfm and the decision to accept the offer from Capital was a hard one. I didn't solicit the job, and was shocked when the offer was made. Both stations are in the same company, GCap Media and after being offered the job it would have been difficult to turn down.

"The opportunity that Capital Radio Drive offers is a huge one though as I grew up listening to Capital it's the station that got me interested in working in radio in the first place. I'm glad and proud to have been a part of Xfm but I am also excited about being given the chance to put my stamp on the Number 1 radio station in London!

"I will still be djing indie around clubs in London. And i'll still see you all at loads of gigs."
