For the next Visceral Radio show, BKS is very excited to be back on the tools in the studio himself. Having been the driving force behind Visceral Radio since day one you will have heard his voice over the airwaves but he still hasn’t fully introduced himself and talked about his background.
The back story….

Radio 1’s Essential Mix was the Holy Grail (where he went on to have several of his productions featured) and dark sweaty nightclubs were like Church.
