Future of radio under the spotlight as part of Brighton Digital Festival
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 September 2015
Online radio platform totallyradio is teaming up with PR firm Fugu to present a day looking at the future of radio and music discovery as part of the Brighton Digital Festival next week.
Radio//Future Sounds will be led by the marvellous Chris T-T and will explore what radio even is in 2015, and how digital channels and services are clashing with, complementing, reinventing and learning from traditional radio services.
NTS, London Fields Radio, Resonance FM, Radar Radio, YAM Radio and totallyradio will all take part in the debate, while reps from Mixcloud, Believe Digital and Detour will also contribute. Plus CMU Business Editor Chris Cooke will lead a discussion on where radio fits into the music mix, and how it can and should support new talent, with inputs from labels like Tru Thoughts, FatCat and Mr Bongo.
Commenting on it all, totallyradio.com producer Nats Spada, who has curated the event, told reporters: “We are thrilled to have so many of the people that are re-shaping radio take part in our first event. We hope that Radio//Future Sounds will highlight the power that radio holds, that direct and personal connection to a piece of music or great storytelling. And more importantly, that it will inspire future radio creators”.
This all takes place on 24 Sep from 10am to 6pm at Patterns in Brighton. Tickets are just £5, and that’s redeemable on food and drink. Info and tickets here.
