Music Curation

For digital natives and long-time radio listeners, we curate music from the understanding that music is inseparable from the rhythms of everyday life; from our arts and global connections, commutes, family lives and fun nights out. Naturally, our team members are DJs, event programmers and musicians in their own rights, bringing that broad cultural insight with them the on air.

Flagship BBC Radio strands such as Late Junction, Music Planet and Unclassified explore the ever-changing avant-garde, the best in roots-based music, and the exciting middle realm between pop and classical.

Meanwhile, newer programmes closely follow our company philosophy, blowing open the possibilities of listening – that’s Dream Time with Zakia Sewell, opening portals to new listening dimensions, and 20th Century Radicals, which bends time through a fusion of music playlisting and history documentary.
