EP 3: LWR - Art, Authority, And A Changing London

A look at one of London’s most popular pirates, and the musical impact it had on a changing city.

As well as playing incredible soul and funk, LWR helped popularise the hip hop and electro sound that was sweeping London, and was pivotal in the early house music scene with pioneering shows like The Jacking Zone.

In this episode, we hear from the own of the station Zak Dee, who took over LWR and changed it into a black music powerhouse for London.
