Community Mission
Tower Block Radio was created to carry underground music forward - not by copying the past, but by building a platform that gives new artists, DJs and local communities a real chance to be heard.
Our mission
Our mission is to support underground music culture at every level: the unknown producer sending their first dub, the young DJ learning how to build a set, the local host with something to say, the independent label pushing music before anyone else understands it, and the legends who built the foundations.
Led by Slimzee
Slimzee's history is part of the DNA of Tower Block Radio. His work in pirate radio and underground music helped shape the sound of modern UK culture. Tower Block Radio takes that legacy and turns it into a platform for the next wave.
