Laurie Charlesworth sits in for Rene

Laurie Charlesworth sits in for Rene with the hottest D&B.

Laurie Charlesworth sits in for Rene with the hottest D&B.

In 2019, as part of Radio 1’s Christmas Presenters search for new DJ talent, Laurie became the first woman to host the Drum & Bass Show, and she returns for a second stint in 2020.

She assisted for two years on DJ Hype’s show at Kiss FM and has freelanced for BBC 1Xtra and the Asian Network. She is also a DJ tutor at Roundhouse and a Podcast tutor at Young Urban Arts Foundation.

Laurie: “I am thrilled to be asked to come back and host the DnB show again! Last year was incredible. It’s a really lovely way to end a bit of a rubbish year.”

As part of this show there's also a guest mix by Will Kirk, a dance-obsessed 22-year-old who presents a weekly show on Sheffield station Melodic Distraction, shining a light on the best in Drum & Bass.

He was diagnosed with hearing loss at the age of 7 months. “Hurdles do present themselves, and as you can imagine being involved with music and nightlife, a few of these were encountered along the way,” he says. “Let’s not forgot also my disability does very much have its benefits: I can probably get a better night’s sleep than most people! Anyone that knows me well knows I often make light of my hearing loss, as if I can’t do anything to change the circumstances, I may as well make a joke about it.”

Will: “It is amazing to be able to share my Drum & Bass mix on such a powerhouse of music, broadcasting to the UK and beyond.”
