Radio Kool FM

Kool FM is a separate live channel in the Rinse family with an identity strongly associated with jungle and drum and bass. Its official channel page and player distinguish Kool from Rinse UK and SWU FM.

DJ Brockie is among its recognisable voices, with recent programmes featuring DJ Uno and MC Melo-D. Catching Cairo's selections include the liquid side of drum and bass, while the Ibiza Records Show reaches back into old-school jungle and hardcore. NRG Cru, with Highlander, Furnz and K-65, adds another named collective to the line-up.

DJ Flight presents Flight:Mode, exploring deeper jungle and drum and bass rather than treating the genre as a single uniform sound. Her programme listings also make connections with jazz, footwork and experimental music. Rinse's presenter profile describes her long involvement in underground music and support for a broad range of producers, giving context to the selection heard in her sets.

Kool's recent output also includes Eksman with Amplify, Silva Snipa's techstep-oriented mix and Bryan Gee with T.R.A.C. These examples show the role of individual DJs, guests and MCs in shaping the station. The programme moves between different approaches within jungle and drum and bass, from liquid selections to rollers and harder-edged tracks. Kool shares the Rinse platform with other live channels, but this concentration on the scene, its selectors and its different strands gives it a specific musical identity. Its own programme archive preserves the individual sets as well as the live broadcast.
