After broadcasting for a total of 18 years, not for profit, Select will become the only FM radio station in London to cater exclusively to House & Electronic Music. This will be a strong platform to help support events, artists and labels within the dance music community.
The Select FM schedule boasts a collective of talented DJs, and presenters who are already establishing their names within the dance music community, be it through releasing music or hosting events.
The daily listener reach for Underground radio stations is often underestimated. Radio support for underground music and underrepresented artists is needed now more than ever, with mainstream stations focusing on set playlists and specialist shows often supporting mainly commercial music. Select will offer smaller independent labels and artists an alternative route for radio plays, YouTube, website and social media features.
In the coming months, Select FM will be launching new initiatives supporting young people who want to work within the dance music industry. This will include DJ workshops, radio programming courses, social media planning and insights into the day to day running of a radio station.
Select’s academy programme launches in 2022, this will utilize their creative space giving young people and underrepresented individuals a kick start within the music industry. The house and electronic scene have always been known to send a positive message and they want to relay that message to young people.
