An hour of purely the best underground/experimental electronic music that I have discovered either online or in record shops across the country. Ranging from house & techno, to the unique London sounds of grime and garage I will try to alternate themes each week with some shows dedicated to specific labels, genres or time periods. Depending on what mood I am in I may even throw in some Disco.
Please enjoy the dark gritty sounds of the underground.
Late night, laid back, alternative hip-hop. Tracks from big names and fresh faces, straight out of the UK and new places, periodically punctuated with chilled out chat.
Reach out. Tune in.
Back for the fourth and final season!
Experience a trip around world through some total bangers! All Around the World aims to play music from South Africa to South America, South Sudan to South Korea, New South Wales to South London.
Playing all the newest and best songs across the country but with special preference to artists from London and Yorkshire.
The Big Sofa graced the York Uni airwaves all the way back in 2001, when Rach was a psychology undergrad living in a breezeblock prison called Goodricke C Block.
Since then Rach has graduated (hurray! They said it would never happen!), moved away (now living in Mordor (Morden), London), worked three different jobs (evil corporate advertising; bonkers Virgin Radio; the BBC), birthed three kids (two boys, one girl), become a stand up comedian (three years in, still haven't done Live at the Apollo) and QUIT RADIO (sob.)
This last one makes her incredibly sad.
So Rach is ecstatic to be back behind a microphone. Join her for this one off two hour show and listen to the joy plastered all over her face.
Exactly what it says on the tin.
Not that radio shows come in tins.
But this one does, and it's a three decade old salted pork tin full of what will probably be recent London migrant and soon-to-be-former PhD student Matt Windsor's last ever show on URY before he finally stops being a student. Expect pretty much everything that can be expected from a washed up student radio DJ that was once referred to as URY's answer to Alan Partridge: an hour of awkward gaps between songs, awkward songs between gaps, and attempts to draw a close on 8ish years of somehow repeatedly being scheduled for shows despite having the radio nous of a loofah. Does anyone still use loofahs?
