SoulTrain Radio DAB will become the first soul music radio station broadcasting from the iconic Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol when it launches in December.

The dynamic new station will hit the digital airwaves from the brand new studio residence it has recently taken up at the largest dedicated film and TV studio facility in the West of England. An epicentre for production in the region, The Bottle Yard is home to a large hub of creative, digital, technical and audio/visual companies. SoulTrain Radio DAB is the first radio station to be based on site.

SoulTrain Radio DAB came about as the result of 25 years of running the legendary SoulTrain, one of Bristol’s most famous and longest running club nights, founded by Paul Alexander in 1992. After internet broadcasting over the past two years, Soul Train Radio DAB will delight music fans in Bristol, playing everything from classic Motown sounds, sexy soul ballads, 70’s & 80’s Rare Groove, quintessential Jazz, mind blowing Funk to modern day soul and RnB, broadcasting 24 hours a day, every day.

Founder and Chairman Paul Alexander states

“SoulTrain has been a labour of love for many years and finally we have reached a point where we can bring the joy of soul music to the masses. It’s going to be fantastically soulful. SoulTrain Radio DAB is the only independent soul music station in Bristol and we are very proud of that.”

Referring to the choice of location, Paul explains;

“We are excited to be based somewhere that has such an outstanding reputation for providing production services and to be the first radio station being broadcast from the Bottle Yard is a privilege for us.”

Site Director of The Bottle Yard Studios Fiona Francombe says:

“It’s a huge plus for us to add a radio tenant to the wide variety of media companies we have on site, and feels only right that it should be a station devoted to entertaining music fans living right here in Bristol. SoulTrain has been very much a part of Bristol’s cultural identity, with an established and devoted following. We’re extremely proud that it will be taking the exciting step forwards to onto the DAB airwaves, to delight listeners from their new base at The Bottle Yard.”
