Radio 1 Refreshes The In New DJs We Trust Roster

BBC Radio 1 last night announced that it will refresh the line-up of its dance music show In New DJs We Trust. New signing Kissy Sell Out will join the In New DJs We Trust weekly rotational roster alongside cutting-edge DJs Kutski, Professor Green and Mistress De Funk.

The refreshed schedule will be another in a series of six monthly evolutions of the In New DJs We Trust show. The changes have been designed to ensure Radio 1 is championing the most important new dance music genres whilst also giving new and emerging talent their first chance to broadcast on national radio.

The new In New DJs We Trust line-up will be broadcast as follows (in order of rotation) from Friday night/Saturday morning 21 July 2007 from 2 4am:

Kissy Sell Out – Electro Rock 'n' Rave
Mistress De Funk – Minimal Techno/Tech
Kutski – Hard Dance/Hardcore
Professor Green – Hip Hop/Grime

Kissy Sell Out will succeed rising dubstep star Plastician who will stand-in for Mary Anne Hobbs' Experimental Show in July as part of his ongoing relationship with Radio 1.

Ben Cooper, Radio 1's Head of Programmes, said: "I am delighted to welcome Kissy Sell Out to In New DJs We Trust. He has emerged from London's cutting edge club scene and has exceptional talent and energy plus a very distinctive sound that will appeal to an important cross-section of our specialist audience. In New DJs We Trust is an ever-evolving show whose mission is to ensure Radio 1 stays at the forefront of new music. I'd like to thank Plastician who will continue a relationship with Radio 1."

Kissy Sell Out said: "I am tremendously honoured to have been taken on by Radio 1. The MP3 generation has changed everything and it's fantastic to see the station I grew up with staying as relevant as ever. Everyday I hear new music which has the power to change dancefloors forever, and now I have the opportunity to showcase such exciting new talent. I can't wait to get stuck in and mash it up big time!"

In New DJs We Trust broadcasts Friday nights/Saturday mornings, 2-4am.
