DeepDives With Patrick Hemming

I'm finally back with a new #DeepDives, the first proper episode of 2026. I've used the monster band Led Zeppelin as inspiration. Some of these artists and bands might wear their influence a little more obviously than others, but it's all in there.  Almost all of these artists have appeared in previous episodes, so if Led Zeppelin isn't your bag, there is still much on display to enjoy. I promise.  These songs range from 1972 to to...

Happy New Year, my friends! As promised, here is the second hour of my "Best Of 2025 DeepDives". The offerings were so plentiful in 2025 that I decided to produce the show in two separate sections to allow the music to be heard in a more manageable listening experience. Enjoy over two and a half hours of the best new Melodic Rock, AOR, Hi-Tech, Westcoast, PowerPop, Pop & Hard Rock 2025 had to offer!

I'll see you in a couple of ...

Happy New Year, my friends! I hope this finds each and every one of you doing well after a busy holiday season. As promised, I'm back with the first hour (part 😁)    of my "Best Of 2025 DeepDives". The offerings were so plentiful in 2025 that I decided to produce the show in two separate sections to allow the music to be heard in a more manageable listening experience. All the genres are represented, if not all this hour, then in ...

After a few hit-and-miss weeks traveling to and from the Czech Republic I'm back with a proper DeepDives for your ears to enjoy as we're back in the fertile diving waters off the 1980s and early 1990s. This show was put together during one long plane ride from Zurich to Tampa. Holy cow, do I ever recommend choosing your own seat for long hauls like this. Trust me...Your ass will thank you. 😁 I'll be back in two weeks to lay my nex...

Two weeks ago I lost one of my greatest friends. On that same day I also lost one of my greatest musical heroes. This is an episode I never wanted to have to make. Certainly not under these circumstances. My friend James and I saw KISS back in '92 on the Revenge tour. Long after Ace had left the band and four years before he rejoined, only to leave once again in 2001. It was a terrific show but the memories I hold dearest about tha...

After a month long break DeepDives is back with a show built around the theme of "Traveling". As I'm broadcasting from the beautiful city of Prague here in the Czech Republic, I thought that particular theme would be most appropriate. All the regular Dive genres are represented spanning the late 60's through today. So sit back and enjoy some traveling music, Dives style. I'll be back here next week with a tribute show dedicated to ...

Once again, I bring to your ears a collection of Disco songs you'll be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. It's been two years since my last Disco Dance Party, and I knew it was time to drop down that old glitter ball! As in round one, there are certainly some ringers, but even then, they are mostly special 12" mixes. covers and album tracks. I've also salt and peppered both sets with more contemporary songs inspired by those bell-...

I'm back with a brand new episode of DeepDives for your ears to enjoy. Before the show starts properly, I pay tribute to The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away today at 76. He's shown up on more than a few occasions here on Dives & he will be missed. Afterwards, it's on to the show I had planned for you...filled with AOR, Melodic Rock, Westcoast, Synthwave & Pop. I hope you enjoy & I'll be back in a coup...
