Ferry Maat came up with the idea to play soul music on Sunday afternoons when there was a gap in the North Sea programming. It was music that was not played much on the radio, but which people did hear in the disco. The Soul show was broadcast for the first time by Radio North Sea International (RNI) on 4 November 1973 on Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 pm under the title: "Sunday afternoon Soul on North Sea".
Particularly in the eighties, real mixing and responsible restarting of records became a hype. At the beginning of 1984 a new item was born: the Bond van Doorstarters. At 20:30 Ferry Maat played a disco mix by a DJ who had put together the mix himself. Many DJs were inspired by this and became known mainly thanks to this program item.
The jingles used in the show were also distinctive and professional. A friend of Ferry Maat recorded jingles in the mid-seventies with the well-known American DJ Wolfman Jack.
