How to get played on a London radio station

Understand London's radio landscape

London's radio scene runs from underground stations like Rinse FM and Reprezent to community broadcasters across Brixton, Shoreditch, and Camden. The city's diverse neighbourhoods fuel everything from pirate radio heritage to today's online stations championing drill, indie, and electronic sounds. Research their programming to find where your sound fits.

What London radios look for in an artist

London stations want polished tracks, clear artistic direction, and a solid press kit. You don't need a massive fanbase, but they value artists who understand their show's vibe and can speak to their creative process. A professional approach matters in a city with this much competition.
