A community station with big ambitions

Over the years it has earned a reputation for championing new and exclusive music, supporting independent artists and running events that bring its community together. The station is active across social media, Mixcloud and SoundCloud, and it even offers a service for artists who want their tracks played on air.

What you will hear

OnTop Radio plays a wide mix of urban music: hip hop and R&B, dancehall and bashment, funky house and soulful house, UK garage, soul, reggae, Afrobeats, gospel and soca. Presenters host their own shows with their own selections, from new exclusives to classic anthems, and many programmes include shout-outs, interviews with artists and conversation about culture and community. Its OnTop Uncut content and live shows keep listeners engaged beyond the radio, and the station's long history means it has helped launch many new voices on the London scene.
