LDC Radio

LDC Radio is Leeds Dance Community Radio, a not-for-profit station serving the dance music community in Leeds and West Yorkshire. House is a prominent part of its identity, alongside UK garage, bassline, techno, trance and drum and bass. Its programme is led by DJs and presenters, with uninterrupted music between shows.

The station connects radio with the area's club culture through mixes and coverage of raves, festivals and venue events. Different programmes explore their presenters' own selections, giving specialist styles room within the broader dance format. The relationship with Leeds and Bradford is central: local dance communities supply both an audience and people who can contribute to the sound.

Michael Cooper's Velocity follows trance and uplifting sounds, while The House Party Live pairs DJMT with Simon Knowles. The timetable also includes Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance, Roger Sanchez's Release Yourself and John Digweed's Transitions. SUBVISIONS Sessions brings the Leeds duo's interest in nineties rave, techno and hard house into the programme. These strands connect local selectors with established international dance-radio series without limiting the service to one club style.

Community participation includes applications to present shows, training for presenters and LDC Introducing for new and emerging DJs. The station also helps promote local charities and events. These activities make LDC a place where dance music is heard and developed, bringing experienced selectors and new contributors into contact with listeners who share their interest in the scene.
