In EDM circles there’s a saying that goes, ‘behind every hit radioshow, is a successful woman.’ And what better to recognize that than the global go-to radio station for popular music (note: popular music aka EDM and perhaps, ‘pop’ music), BBC Radio 1. Celebrating International Women’s Day this March, the channel has lined up all-night, all-amazing, all-female broadcasts from 7pm to 7am for two consecutive nights, inaugurated by inhouse legend Annie Mac on Friday the 7th. I for one, would make plans that weekend just to pre-game and even party to these ladies’ mixes. Check out the schedule below.
