Reggae is where Wicked Beats Radio began. From the deep basslines of 70s roots and the heavyweight pressure of dub, to the sweet melodies of lovers rock and the sharp commentary of conscious reggae, our selectors keep the riddim running all day and all night. Whether you grew up on Studio One and King Tubby or you're discovering the music for the first time, there's a place for you on the frequency.
The reggae sound carries a message as much as a groove. Born in Jamaica and raised in cities like Birmingham, it soundtracked struggle, celebration and unity — and it still does. Our reggae shows honour that lineage while making room for the new wave of artists carrying the torch, so you'll hear timeless classics sitting comfortably next to fresh dubplates and independent releases.
Reggae runs right through the Wicked Beats schedule, with resident DJs dedicating sessions to roots, revive and modern reggae throughout the week. Tune in and you might catch a Sunday-morning roots set, a late-night dub excursion, or a lovers rock hour built for the grown folks. Check the weekly schedule to see who's on and when.
Press play and let the bass do the talking. Reggae radio, live from Birmingham to the whole world — only on Wicked Beats Radio.
