Turntable Radio – the world’s only radio show dedicated to scratching and turntablism.
Turntable Radio is a radio show dedicated entirely to turntablism. Created by Mr Trick, it began life in 2002 on London’s Resonance 104.4FM, airing from 10-11.30p.m. every Sunday night.
In addition to the FM airwaves presence shows were archived online, with a supporting portal site carrying news, updates, links and more from the worldwide scratch/tablism scene, and via this means the show has built up a colossal worldwide following – currently some 40,000 listeners.
In February 2004, Trick announced the closure of the radio show, although the site continued to act as a news portal for all that was happening worldwide. Due to massive demand however, he was convinced to resurrect Turntable Radio and in May of the same year brought Laurent Fintoni on board to handle presenting duties. The show now airs monthly and is now online-only. However, it still serves a staggering amount of listeners, who tune in from over 40 countries worldwide to hear all the latest news and music. So while many things have changed in this scene over the years, Turntable Radio remains the only show keeping scratch fans up to date on the musical developments of the scene.
