MISSION:
In the spirit of such stand-alone broadcasting giants as Radio Caroline, The Peel Show, Rinse FM, The World Service and Woman’s Hour – and dispensing with such orthodoxies as play lists and compliance – Domino Radio commences transmission on June 6th 2011 – for one week only – featuring non-stop twenty four hour music, conversation and good times.
Presented by Domino’s international roster of artists, along with friends and neighbours from the worldwide independent music community, Domino Radio will host a dynamic schedule loaded with individuality, free expression and all manner of sounds from around the world.
You can hear us on the airwaves at 87.7fm and online at http://dominorad.io and for regular updates follow us at twitter.com/dominoradio.
To hear a teaser of some of the forthcoming voices visit: Soundcloud or Youtube.

In the last year, through projects such as Domino at Uniqlo, the Faber & Faber / Domino published Loops periodical, and the launch of its own book imprint, Domino has enhanced its reputation for risk taking creativity outside its main focus of releasing new music. Domino Radio is the latest and boldest installment in its ongoing mission to deliver and build on the label’s mission of representing world-class creativity.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. – Aristotle
