Pirate radio didn’t just play music – it built movements.
This broadcast will celebrate how pirate radio gave rise to new genres and subcultures, shaping the sound of the UK as we know it from reggae and rare groove to jungle, garage, grime, dubstep and drill.
Presenters, producers and MCs will share how pirate radio championed underground talent – and how its DIY spirit lives on today.
Joining us as special guests are one of drum'n'bass's pioneering MCs, Shabba D (Kool FM), central pillar of the UK Garage movement, DJ Spoony (London Underground FM), and club DJ & radio presenter, Marcia Carr (Sunrise FM).
Reprezent Radio is a youth-led London based station championing emerging music, culture, and next-gen talent through fresh, grassroots broadcasting.
