OUR STAGE TAKEOVER AT SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER CITY

At this year’s Sounds From The Other City festival, the team at Reform Radio worked hard to deliver a top-notch lineup for our takeover at The Old Fire Station in Salford on the 4th of May.

The general vibe at SFTOC this year was next level as they celebrated their 20th birthday. Perfect weather and a vast array of talent across all the venues attracted a bubbly and bustling crowd.

SFTOC took over pubs, restaurants, clubs and more sites all around the City of Salford. Our home for the day was The Old Fire Station pub, situated directly across from the ticket station at Salford University.

As guests stepped into our brightly decorated venue, a perfectly placed bar greeted them, inviting them to grab a drink before hitting the dance floor. The music flowed from the DJ station at the other end of the oblong-shaped room, seeping outside through the open doors too. The warm weather made for a perfect al fresco listening experience.

A big shoutout to our Station Manager, Nadya, for organising nine wonderful DJs to play from 2-10 pm. Also, of course, to the artists themselves: KD22LR, INA, Dr Mystery, Mica (UK), Sharari, NOT BAD FOR A GIRL, Obeka, Robin Hergé, and our brilliant host, Yolanda Damoyi.

These acts brought everything including disco, bashment, cumbia, dancehall, house, UK funky, techno and jungle – what more could you want on a sunny bank holiday Sunday?

Even better, in case you missed out or want to listen back to your favourite set of the day, all Reform Radio performances were recorded and are now available to stream on our website here.

Thank you, SFTOC, for having us – it’s always a pleasure to party with you. Here’s to another 20 years of more music and more fun!
