Amateurism Radio was formed in March 2020 as an instinctive response to lockdown caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Out of something extremely challenging and isolating grew something special and positive.

Over two-years we aired well over 1000 exclusive shows and received more than 100,000 listeners. It strengthened and solidified a community of likeminded music lovers and brought good music and good vibes to an ever growing tribe of followers.

Amateurism Radio is built on a strong foundation of residents who regularly contributed to the station alongside special guests such as Norman Cook, Amy Douglas, Ed Chemical, Sophie Lloyd, Alexis and Joe from Hot Chip, Nadia Ksaiba and many more.
