BBC Radio 1 Dance

The British public-service broadcaster BBC expands its digital portfolio in the field of electronic music with BBC Radio 1 Dance. As a specialised offshoot of the well-known pop station Radio 1, this programme from Britain is aimed specifically at fans of modern club and dance sounds. The musical spectrum covers genres such as house, deep house, techno, garage and drum and bass, with both current releases and formative classics of the electronic music scene in focus.

The station uses the BBC’s editorial expertise to transmit trends directly from British and international clubs. Through its close link with the main station, the programme offers access to DJ mixes and recordings from well-known festivals. BBC Radio 1 Dance thus serves as a digital platform for electronic music culture and reflects the club scene of the United Kingdom.
