0860.fm – pirate radio culture
The 0860.fm project by Astrophonica, led by Charlie Fieber (Fracture), is a multifaceted homage to the legacy of London pirate radio and its influence on UK underground music.
The project also features interviews with influential figures like Bryan Gee and DJ Flight, capturing the raw spirit of pirate radio culture. Its design extended into physical formats such as vinyl and cassette releases and culminated in an exhibition with live performances, including ambient jungle sets. Rooted in personal nostalgia, 0860.fm celebrates the DIY ethos and cultural significance of pirate radio while bridging archival storytelling with contemporary music innovation
