Feelgood favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and soothe you.

Our genial host also gives his New 2 Odoom record of the week another spin.

Melvin has another edition of addictive guessing game Music Is the Answer. Will you be able to work out which song 'our Melv' will be playing later in the show based purely on the random (and often hilarious) comments people leave below the song’s official music video online? Each week a different member of the Radio 2 presenting family voices the real-life comments and this week Jeremy Vine is doing the honours!

Join in the fun Text 88291, WhatsApp 08000 288 291 or e-mail melvin@bbc.co.uk.. All stabs in the dark and educated guesses are welcome!

Our genial host wraps things up with a Midnight Feast track. Think big production, lush orchestration, and the best voices in the business.

To listen on most smart speakers, just ‘ask BBC Sounds to play The Good Groove’.
