Alongside him will be hip hop DJ Tiffany Calver, who is the first woman to present the prestigious Saturday night rap slot.
The 24-year-old took over in early January, following the likes of Tim Westwood and Charlie Sloth in presenting the show.
"I'm honoured to be taking over the slot that has pretty much soundtracked my life," she said at the time.
Earlier this year, she opened for Beyonce and Jay-Z's On The Run tour and is the official DJ for Fredo, who recently had a UK number one with Funky Friday with Dave.
