Retro Party

When Rock by Request wraps up, Fitzy isn’t going anywhere.

Stick around every Wednesday night from 11pm until late for Fitzy’s Retro Party on BitWaves — a late-night throwback packed with music from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Fitzy digs into the retro collection and keeps Wednesday night moving with classic favourites, forgotten gems and plenty of songs made for turning up after dark.

Three decades. Plenty of nostalgia. One very late party.

The Retro Party Starts at 11pm

Wednesday night doesn’t finish when Rock by Request ends.

From 11pm, Fitzy changes gears and takes BitWaves back through three unforgettable decades of music.

Expect a mix of:

• 70s classics
• 80s pop and rock
• 90s favourites
• Disco
• Funk
• New wave
• Dance classics
• Retro party anthems
• Forgotten songs you haven’t heard in years
• Listener requests

It might be disco one minute, 80s pop the next and a huge 90s anthem after that.

That unpredictability is part of Fitzy’s Retro Party.

Spinning Back Through the 70s, 80s and 90s

Each decade brought something completely different to the party.

The 1970s gave us disco, funk, glam rock and some enormous singalong classics.

The 1980s arrived with synthesizers, new wave, massive pop stars and songs that somehow became even bigger than the hairstyles.

Then the 1990s brought dance, pop, alternative, R&B and a completely different generation of party favourites.

Fitzy brings all three decades together for a late-night soundtrack that can jump from one era to another without warning.

Dust Off the Vinyl

Fitzy’s Retro Party is all about the feeling of digging through an old record collection and finding something you’d almost forgotten existed.

There’s something different about retro music.

Sometimes all it takes is the first few seconds of a song to take you straight back to another place, another night or another time entirely.

That’s why you’ll hear the huge songs everyone remembers alongside forgotten favourites and deeper retro cuts that deserve another spin.

Request Your Retro Favourite

Got a song Fitzy needs to play?

Get involved.

Head to the Make a Request page and send your Retro Party track through to BitWaves.

Maybe it’s:

• A 70s disco classic
• Your favourite 80s anthem
• A huge 90s dance track
• Something you remember from a night out
• A forgotten song you haven’t heard for decades
• A track that simply belongs at a retro party

If it comes from the 70s, 80s or 90s, send it Fitzy’s way.

From Rock by Request to Retro Party

Wednesday night on BitWaves gives Fitzy plenty of room to move.

Start the evening with Rock by Request, where listeners help choose the rock soundtrack.

Then from 11pm, the guitars make way for something completely different as Fitzy opens up the retro collection for Fitzy’s Retro Party.

It’s a natural late-night switch from rock requests into three decades of throwbacks.

Stay Up Late with BitWaves

Fitzy’s Retro Party is made for the night owls.

Maybe you’re working late.

Maybe you’re driving.

Maybe Thursday morning can wait.

Or maybe you’ve heard one song too many to turn the radio off now.

Whatever the reason, BitWaves keeps the retro music going from 11pm until late.

The Party of the Last Century

The 70s.

The 80s.

The 90s.

Three decades that gave us an enormous amount of music worth hearing again.

Fitzy brings them together every Wednesday night with retro favourites, forgotten gems and requests from BitWaves listeners.
