The most common age of a Radio 1 listener is currently 23, and we reach 42% of all 15 to 24’s in the UK. BBC Radio 1 aims to entertain and engage a broad range of young listeners with a distinctive mix of contemporary music, speech, culture, entertainment and live events. The station supports a range of new music and emerging artists – especially those from the UK. Every weeknight from 7pm - 4am, and on Friday and Saturday nights, the station is dedicated to discovering, supporting and developing the greatest new music in the world. BBC Radio 1 is committed to bringing the best in live music to its audience. The network’s annual flagship event, Radio 1’s Big Weekend, is the UK's biggest free ticketed music festival and the station has a presence at many major UK festivals. BBC Radio 1 is multi-platform, enabling young audiences to connect through the web and interactive services - offering new ways to listen, watch and find great content from the station. It leads innovation across the web, interactive TV and mobile in radio broadcasting. This is driven by the network strategy of “Listen, Watch, Share.” -- Page 3 -- Station Information – Radio 1Xtra BBC Radio 1Xtra delivers high quality and distinctive public value content to young audiences. It currently reaches over 1 million listeners each week. BBC Radio 1Xtra plays the best in contemporary Hip Hop and RnB with a strong emphasis on live music. Incorporating Garage, Drum & Bass, UK G and Dancehall, BBC Radio 1Xtra blends the best black music with entertainment, documentaries and news. BBC Radio 1Xtra supports new music and emerging artists across the black music genres, especially music made in the UK. BBC Radio 1Xtra is multi-platform, enabling young audiences to connect through the web and interactive services - offering new ways to listen, watch and share great content from the station. Integral to the station’s schedule are news, documentaries and advice campaigns. BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra work together as complementary services connecting the BBC with the next generation of young audiences. Two thirds of the BBC Radio 1Xtra audience are young adults, aged 15-29, and the average age is 26. 1Xtra is the youngest BBC reaching radio station and is also one of the youngest reaching radio stations in the country. BBC Radio 1Xtra is available on DAB Digital Radio, TV and Online. -- Page 4 -- Financial Information for the Tender All strands are being put to tender with a guide price - this guide price is to include all associated metadata delivery and interactive content proposed. We are happy to make BBC Studios in New Broadcasting House available for the production of the programmes. However if this option is not taken up the guide price would be increased by £80 per hour to reflect this. Tenders submitted in excess of the guide price are extremely unlikely to be considered further. Separate ad-hoc negotiations would take place to agree a suitable programme cost change for any occasions where the programme is broadcast as an Outside Broadcast. Presenters for all strands are contracted to BBC Radio 1 / Radio 1Xtra directly and these costs are paid for by the Network – presenter costs therefore should not feature in the proposed budgets. -- Page 5 -- How to Submit Applications to be considered in the tender process must take the following form – failure to comply will result in the application being immediately disregarded: 1) The relevant programme proposal(s) must be submitted via Proteus only and it should cover all the points outlined in this document. (For Proteus access go to the BBC Radio Commissioning page online) 2) Companies may tender for as many strands as they believe they have the expertise to make – with each proposal being submitted and judged separately. Where programmes have been “bundled” together, companies must pitch for all the programmes within that bundle. 3) No additional materials should be submitted at this stage and anything sent will be disregarded The Timetable Tender Document published: 7th January Closing Date for submissions: 12:00pm on Tuesday 3rd Feb 2015 Those shortlisted will be informed: 10th Feb Shortlisted companies will be asked to present their proposals in person at some stage between: 23rd and 26th Feb Decisions made by: 27th Feb New productions start: w/c 30th March -- Page 6 -- What to Submit To be considered for the tender all Independent companies should ensure that their submitted proposals in Proteus (for whatever strand) can demonstrate the following – i.e. this is what proposals will be judged against: Evidence of considerable experience in music-radio production and particularly within the genre(s) being tendered for.

  • Eric Lau Is a London-Based Producer Who Has Been Busy Making Musical Waves for Others
    Eric Lau is a London-based producer who has been busy making musical waves for others. He may well be a producer you’ve heard, but not heard of, by way of his productions for the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Dudley Perkins, Georgia Anne Muld- row, Guilty Simpson, Wildchild, Tanya Morgan, Hil St Soul, and a family of up n’coming artists who feature on New Territories, his debut solo album. His slick and edgy productions have turned the ears of Gilles Peterson (Lau appeared on his Brownswood Bubblers release FORERIC INFORMATION ANDLAU SOUNDCLIPS -OF OURNEW TITLES, GO TO WWW.UBIQUITYRECORDS.COM/PRESSTERRITORIESSTREET DATE: 03/18/2008 of October 2006) and Fat City Records who released Eric Lau presents Dudley & Friends in January 2007. Tastemakers and peers like Benji B (BBC Radio 1Xtra) called Lau’s soulful street sounds “Heavy!”, Phonte (of Little Brother) added that Lau is “One of the illest beatmakers”, Dudley Perkins (Stones Throw) said “His music did something to me,” and Dego (of 4Hero) asked “Who the f$%k is Eric Lau!?” New Territories has a double meaning. It’s the area in Hong Kong that the Lau family are from and regularly visit. “People have a vision of Hong Kong being sky scrappers and high rises everywhere,” says Lau. “However, the area known as New Territories is full of mountain ranges, sea, villages and farm land. It’s very peaceful and pure there, and these are qualities I try to incorporate into my production.” Also, the title refers to the album and the global musical connections it made.

    Digital Sampling and Appropriation as Approaches to Electronic Music Composition and Production Author Shill, Gene Published 2016-12 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School Queensland Conservatorium DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/3631 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise.

Included is an examination of literature and creative work focused on the Golden Age of Hip-Hop that explores early sampling processes and techniques. Through original compositions and an exegesis, the study provides unique and significant contributions to the field including the identification of four approaches to the design and construction of sample-based composition and associated techniques for achieving them using contemporary music technologies. The Golden Age of Hip-Hop is presented as a historical period of musical significance, not only for defining new genres and sub genres of music, but because of the influencing factors that emerging technologies had on new compositional processes and outcomes.

  • BBC Trust Changes to Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra Assessment of Significance May 2012
    BBC Trust Changes to Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra Assessment of significance May 2012 Getting the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers BBC Trust / Assessment of significance Contents The Trust’s decision 1 Background to the Trust's consideration 2 Test of significant change 5 Impact 5 Financial implications 8 Novelty 8 Duration 8 May 2012 BBC Trust / Assessment of significance The Trust’s decision The Trust has considered the BBC's proposal to make changes to Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra, and has formed the view that the proposals do not constitute a significant change to the UK Public Services. It has therefore decided that a Public Value Test is not required in this case. In reaching this decision the Trust considered the likely impact of the proposals on users of the services and on others, the financial impact, the novelty of the proposals and their proposed duration. • Impact on users – better links between Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra may lead to a small increase in audience for 1Xtra. News provision is likely to remain of a high quality, and possibly have increased impact on 1Xtra. Changes to the BBC Introducing Nations opt shows are unlikely to diminish the BBC’s new music offering overall. Live music will remain a core part of 1Xtra’s schedule, with spend in this area unchanged. These changes are therefore likely to lead to a small but positive impact on users of Radio 1 and 1Xtra overall. • Impact on others – these proposals are likely to have little impact on the wider market.
