Started life at Radio 1 with the likes of John Peel before starting the ‘Different Class’ show on The Zone FM in New Zealand, Expect as wide a music range as possible.

10 Rapid
One of the new breed of electronic producers rubbing shoulders with the top dogs, currently globe-trotting and putting the final touches to his show: ’10 Rapid presents B-sides’.

Nothing
Signed to Cut La Roc’s label, the crunching dance music producer will present an eclectic show with emphasis on the origins of those sweaty techno nights and the future of the genre.

”I don’t set out to dazzle the world with my ‘versatality’.I just have some things in me that need to come out. If you only like one kind of music, sorry but life’s too short. Every record i’ve ever put out has been met with some torrent of angry fan mail because it wasn’t what they expected. If you want what you expect, why not make your own album then? I’m just trying to make mine, and it’s probably not what you’re expecting. i’m glad we had this little talk.”

”Why does forward thinking matter?” This question goes round and round, maybe not in the same words but it resonates on so many levels, and those levels i’m not prepared to get into presently, the music i am……………………………….

I wish i was articulate enough to rush out some bullet points explaining the rights and wrongs of ‘good music’, fact is im not. What i do know is when something musically hits me, its hits you in the gut and the back of the mind, and its not involved with money or hype.

Money and hype are two of the less attractive features of the music industry and whenever they become a big part of the music itself invariably the proof is not in the product. With commercial radio stations and the major record labels; they are a business and they have to make money, so independant and major/commercial parties are two entirely different things, working to completely opposite ends: the majors for money and the indies for art.

For alot of us, particularly if your reading this; one of the most exciting things is when you hear something you havn’t heard before; a truly original concept, sound or movement, thats the human touch and we are all afterall…………………………………………….Hal ?

Forward thinking matters because to do, hear, or feel something truly truly ‘new’ is freedom

Our ethos is based on ‘forward thinking music’ – showcasing sounds rarely heard and featuring artists that push the boundaries and thinking of modern music, but more than that the reason i was driven to start this station was born out of sheer frustration at the lack of underground music available to the masses and equally the willingness of most to accept substandard, unadventurous sounds as the norm.

Bringing back the human touch to music by allowing our dj’s the freedom to introduce to you personally the music they want, without boundaries. Everyone on our team knows where we are heading and what we want to achieve and because of this it allows us the confidence to push peoples understanding of ‘music’, that’s not to say we think we are the be-all and end-all in terms of taste, as we’ll be learning and growing equally.

Every week we’ll have an ‘Artist of the moment’ and subsequent live set; it will arrive in the form of a recording made at a cutting edge venue or a mix from a prominent Artist.

In October we launch with a full rosta of DJs and shows for you to stream but keep an eye on this page throughout the summer as it will be updated constantly with our favourite things happening at the moment from the obvious music and gigs to films, books and some curried goat.

We’ll be celebrating our October launch with a top drawer party on the big day at one of our favourite London clubs, with a line-up matching our ethos as well as our in house jocks. Keep an eye on the site for ticket details in due course.

Thanks for your time

I’m massively excited about what is about to commence
