London Fields Radio show: Nite Bites

I’m Station Editor at London Fields Radio, where I present an after dark-orientated show ‘Nite Bites’, as well as help curate and run the radio station. We have create everything from local sport to cookery via storytelling podcasts, all with excellent music on top. It operates out of Wiltons Café in London Fields and we’ll [...]

More BBC Radio London shenanigans

I’m on the air with Lesley Joseph on her BBC London show again talking about ice rinks and jazz, would you believe. One day we’re gonna have a rave in there, I swear.

Interview: Reggae legend David Rodigan

I’ve been a bad blogger. A bad, bad blogger. I haven’t posted anything for weeks: mainly because I’ve been thinking, ‘Oh my pineapples, how the turkey am I going to edit down some of the mammoth interviews I’ve done lately’. So I decided not to bother. Editing and cutting and slicing, that is. Below is [...]

Interview: Geeneus on Rinse FM’s 16th Birthday

He may look like your Bacardi Breezer-swilling 15-year-old bruv, but this is actually Geeneus, one of the firebrands behind legendary (and bloody brilliant) London underground radio station Rinse FM. I don’t know why I’ve got into the habit of interviewing sullen dance music nerdos lately, but there you have it. Maybe it’s their musk. Anyway, [...]

Radio tings: I’m interviewed on BBC Radio London

I’ve been superwank (like supergeil, but superwank) at updating my blog recently. I went to Sonar in Barcelona, which was a great trip, but I’d only recommend going for the Friday night 30,000-people-heavy rave-up. On Thursday things are only warming up and come Saturday, everyone is too knackered from the night before. But Friday, in [...]

Radio show: Oops, someone let me loose on London Fields Radio

My first solo radio show on London Fields Radio is finally HAR. Is finally online and is has lots of nice music to wiggle around your bedroom to. It’s called Nite Bites (because it’s a nightlife show in a café with bitey things like muffins innaah?) and I play loss of good choons and I [...]

I’ve got a face for radio

Beat that for search-engine-friendly titling! Ahem. Anyway, it’s always really lovely to be asked to come and do nice stuff by nice people whose nice music you put on mixtapes for your boyfriend (guilty). Today I went and giggled all over the microphone at a live recording of the super-beardy 2 Bears‘ radio show on [...]

I Heart Hackney: Wilton’s Cafe and London Fields Radio

Today I visited the delightfully quaint Wiltons Way Café, nestled on (you guessed it) Wilton’s Way near London Fields. It’s teeny tiny and perfect for flat white coffees and buttercream-covered cupcakes. Mmm. It got four out of five stars in its Time Out review too. But Wilton’s is also home to London Fields Radio, which [...]
