“Dublin Digital Radio is pursuing a new era of volunteer-led, independent community radio that leans in to left-of-centre programming. Having showcased a stable of interesting and interested musicians and DJs including Cáit, Dowry, Wastefellow, r.kitt and Jill Woodnut’s Staxx Lyrical, DDR’s scope and scale has grown since its beginnings. “At the start we felt that there was a lot of areas of the music industry that weren’t be represented on national radio and media,” co-founder Brian McNamara says. “We focus on a lot more than just music now, but it’s all about giving a voice to people who feel like they don’t have a voice in other areas.” This year, 2019, will see them move to a new space, and seek to build on community connections in Dublin, Ireland, and in the online radio community across Europe. The station throws up unexpected and avant-garde sounds and an eclectic, freewheeling sentiment. At a time when many radio stations feel like they’re stuck in the past, DDR is pushing things forward.”
