Happy surfing! Featured Site (View previous featured Sites) NuWaveRadio Marc Mac (4 Hero) has described it as a return to truly radical radio. You can see where he's coming from. Small and perfectly formed, five or six new online radio shows are made available every week. The West London/broken beat crew are prominent, with residents including Marc Mac, Somatik, Sonar Circle, Hopper, and special guests. The leftfield music policy ranges from broken beats to Arabic, neo soul to hardcore. And you can expect a whole load of gems from the past and new dubplates on rotation from some DJs who really know their stuff.
