Pump Radio

Pump Radio is an underground electronic music service built around house, UK garage house, older club sounds and 1990s throwbacks. It began as RawSessions.com and developed into a station bringing resident DJs, guests and producers together. The emphasis is on selection by people involved in the scene, with live sessions and recorded mixes giving contributors space to shape a complete musical journey.

Pump! Discovered invites producers to submit their own work for consideration, creating a route for fresh material into the station's output. Guest mixes and producer showcases sit alongside regular selections, while its articles explore the practical craft of making and broadcasting music. This connection between listening and music-making is a defining part of the service.

Dave G's programmes include Going Out, But on the Radio and the Weekly Download Show, with selections ranging through house, club tracks and UK garage. A back-to-back edition with Stevey B also brought Afro-influenced sounds into the mix. The station's May 2026 all-day party supported Teenage Cancer Trust through paid song requests. Such broadcasts connect the specialist records with shared events and listener participation, while leaving space for producers introducing previously unreleased music.

Founded by David Gee and operated by PacketPipe, Pump Radio also organises live events and publishes an archive of DJ programmes. Its DAB presence includes Loughborough, Nottingham and Birmingham South. The station keeps that expanded reach connected with the underground interests that shaped its beginnings, rather than making local general news the centre of its identity.
