Skepta's label Boy Better Know, which he set up with his brother JME, is an independent label
Radio 1 has announced a 10 hour celebration of independent record labels.
On Monday 4 July, every song played between 6pm-4am will be by acts signed to independent record labels.
An independent record label is one that works on its own without funding from major labels and is where lots of artists start their careers.
The station said the event is part of its commitment to support new British music and emerging artists.
Wolf Alice are signed to the same independent UK label as The 1975
Adele's three albums have been released by indie label XL
Radio 1's head of music, Chris Price, said: "The UK's independent label community is one of the most vibrant in the world.
"We want to celebrate the part it plays in making Britain one of the most creative and respected music hubs on the planet."
Arctic Monkeys have been signed to Domino Records since they started
There are hundreds of independent labels in the UK, ranging from Hospital Records which specialises in drum and bass to hip hop orientated Big Dada which is home to Roots Manuva and Run the Jewels.
The likes of Adele, Arctic Monkeys and Foals are among some of the biggest names currently signed to indies - although it looks like Adele is set to leave current label XL for Sony.
Skepta and JME's label Boy Better Know, which recently added Drake to its roster, is also independent.
Jason Rackham is the managing director of PIAS UK, which champions and supports independent music around the world.
He told Newsbeat that Radio 1's event is "a welcome acknowledgement and recognition of the continued importance of independent music".
"In a fast changing and disrupted market place music fans are gravitating towards independent labels as curators of authenticity and excellence."
Dizzee Rascal started on the same label as Adele
Dizzee Rascal, Bloc Party and Radiohead all started out on indie labels with Wolf Alice and The 1975, who are both signed to Dirty Hit in the UK, being among the up and coming names following in their footsteps.
Huw Stephens will host a special programme on independent labels as part of the evening
Part of the evening on Radio 1 will see Huw Stephens hosting an hour-long show focused on the world's most influential independent labels.
The DJ explained independent labels are "a vital part" of what gets played on Radio 1.
"Their success stories are huge, and we're super excited to highlight our constant support of the great work the independent labels do."
