oing about my daily business as a humble shop worker by day and a musical monomaniac by night (As you’ll soon find out through one of the recurring jingles from my current radio show), I spend roughly five to six hours per week presenting, producing and editing my own radio show which functions under the Adult Album Alternative music radio format titled Eclectic & Electric.
I began airing the show following my student radio experiences in October 2022 on Mondays at 7pm on Ely Radio, a community radio station on a mission to bring the biggest music variety to Ely and informing the local community about the events and stories that deeply matter to them.
The ethos is all about giving listeners an introduction to some of my favourite emerging artists beyond the mainstream and challenging the generic nature of a typical commercial radio show.
My aim is to create a concise 60 minutes of new music recommendations across many styles of Electronic music that I am highly passionate about, both engaging and challenging the listener.
The target audience is adventurous music lovers who feel overwhelmed by the plethora of playlists on streaming sites and experience fatigue as a result, instead presenting them with a more focused way to seek music in a digitally-driven world that nods back to The Peel Sessions.
The show includes a diverse range of music featuring Electronic music production in some form every week, including a Techno Time Machine feature that reminds listeners of a club classic and meets the more casual listeners halfway among my indie, alternative and underground picks. There’s also several new releases, legacy tracks by lesser-known artists and lesser-known tracks by established artists as I always endeavour to stray away from playing music that you would hear everywhere else. There’s also a special guest who appears on the show in a pre-recorded segment to talk about their music most weeks to shine a spotlight on under-exposed musicians.
Below, you can find a live feed of all recent Eclectic & Electric episodes via my Mixcloud account. I really hope you enjoy streaming these as much as I look forward to recording them every week.
