BBC Radio 1 has announced that it will refresh the line-up of its dance music show In New DJs We Trust.
New signing Kissy Sell Out will join the weekly rotational roster alongside Kutski, Professor Green and Mistress De Funk. He succeeds rising dubstep star Plastician who will stand-in for Mary Anne Hobbs' Experimental Show in July as part of his ongoing relationship with Radio 1.
Kissy Sell Out, a 22-year former Central Saint Martins graphic design student from East London, has been a massive hit on the underground scene and is currently producing his first album for release next year.
He said: "I am tremendously honoured to have been taken on by Radio 1. The MP3 generation has changed everything and it's fantastic to see the station I grew up with staying as relevant as ever. Everyday I hear new music which has the power to change dancefloors forever, and now I have the opportunity to showcase such exciting new talent. I can't wait to get stuck in and mash it up big time!"
The refreshed schedule, which begins from July 21, will be another in a series of six monthly evolutions of the show.
The station says the changes have been designed to ensure Radio 1 is "championing the most important new dance music genres whilst also giving new and emerging talent their first chance to broadcast on national radio."
Ben Cooper, Radio 1's head of programmes, said: "I am delighted to welcome Kissy Sell Out to In New DJs We Trust. He has emerged from London's cutting edge club scene and has exceptional talent and energy plus a very distinctive sound that will appeal to an important cross-section of our specialist audience. In New DJs We Trust is an ever-evolving show whose mission is to ensure Radio 1 stays at the forefront of new music. I'd like to thank Plastician who will continue a relationship with Radio 1."
