Radar Radio is growing up fast.
The London station is getting ready to celebrate its second birthday with a massive line-up at The Nest in Dalston, headed up by Hyperdub gem Ikonika, veteran DJ Spooky Bizzle, rising star Amy Becker and Radar’s own Kenny Allstar.
Also on the bill: recent FACT mixer Riz La Teef, the genre-blurring BBC AZN Network, Jetsss, Tash_LC, MUNGO and more guests to be announced. All you need to get in is an RSVP – just send your names to rsvp [at] radarradio [dot] com to get on the list.
To get us in a suitably spooky mood, Radar’s Kenny Allstar has put together a mix of the darkest, grittiest street sounds in his crate right now, drawing for AJ Tracey, Sir Spyro, Giggs, Big Zuu, Jammz and tons more of the finest new MCs in town.
“I wanted to encapsulate the sound of the streets, hence why I based the mix around UK rap and underground hip-hop,” explains Kenny. “The drill sound is really thriving in the UK with the success of artists and groups like 67, Harlem Spartans, 150 and Abra Cadabra – these guys have burst through the game with a dark, gritty sound accompanied with upfront uncensored content, which matches my show on Radar and the Halloween theme.”
