Running from May 2002 to February 2003 this weekly radio show was a 15min collage of recordings from pirate stations in London. The show was eventually forced to close following a complaint made to the then Radio Authority. This selection draws together some of the characters & musics which make up London's chaotic radio space. Some of the mixes also include some vintage recordings.

Special thanks to Mick, Steve, Mark, Richard & Clive from the ResonanceFM crew who contributed to the mix. Respect to Ed Baxter & Phil England for their tireless work in conjuring up such a station.
