This weekend we're celebrating, as Electric turns 5!
Back in 2020 at the start of the pandemic and after a year of development behind closed doors, we re-launched Electric.
Our opening weekend was pretty modest (compared to the number of DJs we have now), initially featuring Roger Sanchez, Franky Rizardo, Anjunadeep, Kryder, Deadmau5 and Enhanced. Defected joined the party a few weeks later, followed by a rotation of grass-root DJ talent in May.
We were the first - and remain the only UK commercial broadcaster to mix up-and-coming talent and established names in peak time slots.
Since then, we've grown our evening and weekend line-up to feature almost 70 DJs every month, with our vision remaining the same today: create a thriving community for electronic music fans and creators, using tech that goes beyond the limits of radio.
To the residents that have been with us from the start, right up to the guests first in the door last week + the thousands of listeners that tune in every week - THANK YOU.
We've got so much planned for the next 12 months, and whilst this 5 year milestone feels really special - this is only the start of something bigger.
Happy 5th birthday Electric!
