From pirate legend to legal station
In the 1990s, Flex FM was known across London for drum and bass and jungle, part of the pirate radio scene that shaped British dance music. On Thursday 11 May 2017, after years of hard work, Flex FM was awarded a community FM licence to broadcast legally in London, cementing its place in the history books as one of the UK's greatest pirate stations. It officially began its legal broadcasts on 1 July 2018, with a line-up of original DJs and new presenters. Today the station also runs Flex TV, the Flex Academy for training new talent, events and catch-up shows.
What you will hear
Flex FM focuses on underground music culture. Drum and bass and jungle remain at its heart, alongside house, UK garage, grime, bass music and other specialist sounds, all presented by DJs who know their scenes inside out. Shows mix classic tracks from the pirate era with brand-new releases and exclusive dubs, and many feature live mixing, guest MCs and shout-outs, keeping the spirit of the original station alive. It is a must for anyone who loves London's club and rave culture.
