Congratulations today go to Robert Watson-Watt who demonstrated his new RADAR invention on this day in 1935 but little did he realise he would be sharing the limelight with a similarly remarkable achievement which would also be cutting through the airwaves almost 90 years later. Yes, its the monumental 300th show on FTRS!
To mark this incredible milestone Will is going back to where it all began and celebrating African artists and music, taking in South African kwaito, Ghanaian Highlife, diasporic disco and everything in between. Plus he's got some killer collaborations between legends from the afrobeat and Detroit techno scenes and some dangerously danceable re-edits.
FTRS would like to send thanks to everyone who has tuned in, supported, bought the T-shirt and stuck with us for nearly 6 years now. Also huge thanks to all the contributors from our amazing residents to the star guest shows pumping out quality music from the very beginning.
Big up yourselves and sincere thanks!
