Point Blank Radio

Point Blank Radio is a London broadcaster specialising in underground house and electronic music. Its history reaches back to 1994, and its present service brings resident DJs together around a broad range of club-oriented sounds. House is central, with programmes also drawing on techno, disco, soul, jazz and drum and bass.

The schedule reflects individual selectors rather than a uniform sequence of mainstream hits. Different forms of house, from deep and soulful selections to more minimal and rhythmic material, give the station room for contrasting sets. Its studio messaging service allows listeners to respond to the music, ask about a record or send a greeting to the presenter.

Its broadcast archive includes sets from Zaki, Paul Quinton, Blush, NJ Carter, JuJu and Laura Pradelska, illustrating the range of resident voices contributing to the service. The station describes its roots in pirate radio, when discovery depended on shared frequencies and word of mouth. That history informs a music-first approach with relatively little interruption. Contemporary releases sit beside older underground records, allowing the sound to develop without abandoning the selectors and club communities around which it grew.

Recorded shows and the station's retrospective collection make previous broadcasts available beyond their original airing. Residents' profiles and DJ booking information connect the radio service with the wider music scene. Point Blank's continuity lies in its commitment to underground selection and DJ culture, with a London base and an audience that can follow those interests from further away.
