Starting from 14 December 2019, the #SelectorRadio will be broadcast again on ASAN Radio 100FM twice a month on Saturdays, 21.00. The show has been re-launched after a successful first season in 2017.

Shared with more than 30 countries around the world, Selector connects a global audience to anything and everything that’s exciting in the UK right now. We take you on a virtual tour of the UK, dropping you into the heart of cities like Bristol, Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow to listen to the best emerging talent. Jazz, grime, indie or electronica – or somewhere in between – each week we put together a truly eclectic playlist and catch up with the artists and labels who are leading the way in UK music. Selector Radio is a Folded Wing production for the British Council.

The biweekly two-hour show hosted by JAMZ SUPERNOVA plays music from any band, any artist and any genre as long as it’s new and exciting. As one of the leading next-generation DJ's in the UK, JAMZ SUPERNOVA has passion for her craft in abundance. Inspired by the likes of Nina Las Vegas, Toddla T, Diplo, and Annie Mac, as a live DJ Jamzweaves between UK Bass, Funky, Grime, Hip Hop, Jersey Club, and GlobalSounds. With no big-name bias and no obligation to please record companies or radio pluggers, Selector decides which artists to play and interview based on a simple mission to represent the range of new UK music out there rather than how popular or commercial the artist is.

Follow Selector online or hashtag #selectorradio to join a conversation about what’s happening in music around the world. Tune in to hear, not just the best from the UK, but curated sounds from across the globe. The show is presented in Azerbaijani is DJ Bazaur on ASAN 100FM and online.
