barnsy – old school / new styles is an uplifting journey through dance music — mixing the tracks you remember with the sounds you’re discovering now.
Recorded in Coventry, UK, each edition brings together old-school classics, new-style reworks, melodic house, uplifting vocals, funky rhythms, EDM and bass-driven dance tracks — all mixed with the energy and personality of a proper DJ set.
Created and presented by barnsy, a DJ whose first club gigs go back to 1984, the show is about more than nostalgia. It’s about connecting generations of dance music: familiar melodies, forgotten favourites, fresh productions and new interpretations of the tracks that shaped the dancefloor.
There are no musical boundaries and no algorithm deciding what comes next — just carefully selected tracks, mixed to create a journey from beginning to end.
And that journey is becoming increasingly global, with listeners joining the barnsy family from countries and cities around the world.
Whether you grew up with the old school, live for the new styles, or simply love great dance music, you’re invited to turn it up and come along for the ride.

Edition 40 – Summer Vibes, Old-School Memories
24 tracks. Summer vibes. Old-school memories. One milestone edition.
Welcome to Edition 40 of barnsy – old school / new styles.
Recorded LIVE in Coventry on 18 September 2026, this milestone edition brings together some of the summer’s biggest dance tracks, old-school favourites transformed for today and memorable Barnsy moments carried forward from recent editions.
The journey opens with Oasis entering completely new territory through a fresh Wonderwall mashup. From there, Movin’ to the Sun, I Adore You, Somebody That I Used to Know and Love Forever bring melodic, vocal and uplifting summer energy.
Familiar references soon begin to appear in new surroundings. Gonna Make You Sweat, Do You Really Calypso, Strings of Life, Sybil’s Free Your Mind, Ayla, Sweet Nothing, Just the Way You Are and Addicted to Bass are all reinvented for a new generation of dancefloors.
Newer club favourites from James Hype, Mau P, Cloonee, Prospa, Ben Hemsley, ANOTR and Sidney Charles keep the journey firmly connected to 2026. Kolter’s Hey Everybody provides a direct link back to Edition 39 before the final section builds through Such a Good Feeling, The Fresh House Jam, Addicted to Bass and a huge Dizzee Rascal, Bebe Rexha and Faithless mashup.
HUGEL and SOLTO’s Jamaican (Bam Bam) brings Edition 40 home with one final burst of summer warmth.
This edition captures everything old school / new styles represents: reconnecting you with music you already love while introducing you to tracks you didn’t know you were going to love.

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you. By now you should have somehow realized what you gotta do. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. Back feet away to some treat that the fire in your eyes out. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had it out. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. At all the roads we have to walk a winding, and all the lives that lead us there are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. Back feet, the words on the street that the fire in your heart is out. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but you never really had it out. I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. And all the roads we have to walk a winding, and all the lights that lead us, there are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you, but I don't know how. Because maybe you gonna be the one that saves me and after I might wonder why.

No, you didn't have to stoop so long. Have your friends collect your hickets and then change your number. I guess that I don't need that though. Now you're just somebody that I used to know. Make it like it never happened to know we were nothing. Not only you need to love, but you treat me like a stranger, and I feel so rough.
We started off with the Oasis and a remix, a mashup of Wonder Wall. Ultra Nart is huge for 2026. This is what Barnesy 40 is about. It's highlighting some of the best tunes of the year so far.
