The topics range from politics to relationships, from music to fashion. Some of the featured segments on The Takeover are “Bridging the Gap”, which focuses on music that has been derived from previous productions (i.e. sampling); “Are You High”, which focuses on the outlandish moments of the day and of course “Club Takeover”, which gets the listeners in the mood for the night ahead of them.
