MARTHA

Martha is a true champion of the underground electronic music scene, consistently platforming grassroots artists on BBC Radio 1 (Tuesdays 11pm) and NTS (Fridays 5pm). Martha’s programmes journey through the most exciting innovations in the electronic realm and always spotlight women in music.

Martha’s DJ sets combine the intricate storytelling of her radio shows with a deep appreciation for club spaces, exploring the intersections of UKG, 140, techno, jungle and beyond.

Martha grew up in Peckham, South East London, where she joined Reprezent FM at age 16 and fell in love with radio. Early raving years were spent in Corsica Studios where she formed a deep respect for electronic music and the community that surrounds it. Martha joined NTS in 2018, building up a weekly show that combines the production value and detail of daytime radio with the most exciting underground names in the future of electronic music. Each of Martha’s thoughtfully curated radio shows navigate the fringes of electronic music, with a clear narrative that is grounded in community and storytelling.

Beyond radio, Martha’s time is spent nurturing Tempo, a group she established in 2018 that aims to support the mental and physical wellbeing of London’s music community through running and movement.
