The station’s automation system will still be up and running during this time, and some of our DJs will be able to air their […]
Slothai: “Enemy” Apple Music / Spotify / Youtube Slowthai returns to the scene in a bombastic nature on a beat more akin to Memphis Hip-Hop than his usual Grime palette, yet still bringing his unmistakably british flow to the track. I would surely recommend this cut to any US hardcore rap fans looking to get […]
Here’s some music from the last few weeks to hold you over ’till the next one! PUP: “Anaphylaxis” Apple Music / Spotify / Youtube Another esoteric emo rager from a band known for making esoteric emo ragers, PUP’s new single follows the internal narrative of a person allergic to bees. Not too much else to […]

Imagine you and all those millions, billions, trillions of people are situated on a massive rock; though the […]
Long ago, now some 40 years ago, several bands emerged from the budding punk rock scene that would change the landscape of music forever. Among the greats, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, one band stood out above the rest. A band that chose to go against the usual three chord riff and repetitive choruses […]
Artists have been busy dropping music this week. Here’s enough to keep busy listening! Angelo De Augustine & Sufjan Stevens: “Santa Barbara” Apple Music / Spotify / Youtube Sharing a great deal with the barebones acoustics of Stevens’ 2017 ‘Carrie and Lowell’, this new collaborative cut from Angelo De Augustine and Sufjan Stevens […]
