Bandcamp Announces Rinse FM Radio Residency

10 September 2025 - Press release

Collaboration marks the second installment of community radio takeovers on Bandcamp Radio

Bandcamp, the world's largest online music marketplace and community, is thrilled to announce a new collaboration with iconic UK community radio station Rinse FM, which will take over Bandcamp Radio for a special guest residency from 16th September to 25th November.

The partnership marks the second community radio collaboration for Bandcamp Radio this year, following a three-month residency with Berlin-based Refuge Worldwide earlier this summer. That series featured standout shows from artists like moe., No Plastic, and Minor Science, reinforcing Bandcamp's commitment to supporting grassroots, community-led radio platforms.

Taking place every second Tuesday, Rinse FM's residency will alternate with Bandcamp's regular Tuesday Bandcamp Selects show. Kicking off with Donsurf on the 16th September, each episode will spotlight specially curated sets and shows from a handpicked lineup of Rinse FM's influential DJs and hosts. Tom Ravenscroft takes over on 30th September, before Jossy Mitsu on 14th October - with more names to follow. Expect a mix of garage, dubstep, hip hop, techno, drum and bass and more.

Aly Gillani, Artist and Label Relations Lead at Bandcamp and Bandcamp Radio Host said: "Bandcamp has been a constant supporter of the UK's underground dance scene. We're proud to support so many DJs and producers in selling their music and merch, and our electronic music roundup on Bandcamp Daily regularly celebrates this culture. Partnering with Rinse for our next Bandcamp Radio residency is a perfect fit. It's legendary, one of the biggest in the game, and it's helped shape the UK's underground culture. We're very excited to welcome them to the station."

Rinse FM was founded in London in 1994 by Geeneus and is one of the UK's most beloved and longest-running community radio institutions. It has played a pivotal role in the development and global reach of genres like garage, grime, dubstep, house, techno, jungle, and UK funky. It continues to champion a generation of underground artists and shape the sound of contemporary dance music.

"Rinse has always been about platforming the talent and sounds that shape underground music culture, not just in the UK, but globally". Geeneus at Rinse FM continued. "Bandcamp has been an important support to independent artists, especially in electronic music, so this residency feels like a natural link-up. We're excited to bring our community of DJs and artists to Bandcamp Radio and share what we do with a wider audience"

This residency is part of Bandcamp Radio's ongoing efforts to spotlight diverse, independent, and community-driven voices across the global music ecosystem. More community radio residencies are planned for later this year. You can tune in to Rinse FM on Bandcamp Radio from 16th September.
