From April 18th – 22nd 2023 we collaborated with Soho Radio to host a pop-up store in the heart of soho, London. Throughout the week we showcased Soho Radio’s talent and Ballantine’s True Music alumni through daily live radio shows. We also had Ballantine’s cocktails, giveaways and exclusive vinyl sessions, with the profits from the one-off acetates going to support music communities.
To celebrate the event, we also launched two grants for emerging independent radio stations and record stores to fund projects which open up their space in music culture to be more diverse and inclusive. Meet the recipients below.
