Welcome to CCR Radio, your home for the soundtracks of life! Nestled in the heart of the bustling borough of Croydon, our radio station is not just a stream on your devices, its a vibrant community hub, a meeting place for music lovers, and a platform for the voices of our listeners. Our Journey The story of CCR began in October 2021 when Vince, a former music Artist and internet web Master, found himself disillusioned with the constraints of traditional media. Struggling to find a platform that truely represented independent artists and diverse perspectives, he dreamed of creating a space where music and stories could flourish without the pretense and rigidity of conventional broadcasting. Inspired by his vision, a group of friends - each with their own unique talents joined him to turn the dream into reality. The first DJ Robbie General, he met was talking to someone else about radio, he joined the conversation then introduce Robbie General to what he has put together. Robbie General was quite amazed and very interested in what he was doing and exchange numbers. That has set the stage for what would become a kaleidoscope of DJs and sound. They envisioned a station that not only played a variety of genres but music for big people, showcased local talents and play hits that mattered. Vince with his deep love for music, took the reins as the station,s artistic director and programmer. He curated playlists that spanned from classic reggae to world beats, ensuring that every show programmed well and felt like a journey through sound. He is also the tech whiz, who ensured the station,s online presence was seamless and engaging. He crafted an interactive website, an app which available in both google and apple stores and twelve TV channels as well as connections with other radio directories app where listeners could not only tune in but also share their thoughts and requests in real time. Robbie General introduce Barry Don, who have the gift of a unique voice and a well experience selector. He started out his show very humbly just playing with less talking. Then he decided that he would like a theme for his show, he then decide to engage with his audience with asking riddles. It became one of the most beloved features of the station, creating a sense of belonging among listeners from all walks of life all over the world. Then there was DJ Trevor introduced by Barry Don who had a gift of knowledge of knowing what music to play to get people on their feet. That is unique to him.You either know it or not. In all his shows you will hear a track that is rear but is really entertaining and at the right time and blend in with what is played before and what he will play after. It can take many years to learn this type of skill but he had it naturally. Another star of the CCR family is YOE. YOE is a unique Dj, introduce to the station by DJ Trevor. He has the same talent and qualities of DJ Trevor but with a different feel and he plays a different kind of music. He plays all the newest releases each week but they are very selective. He will play a dancehall tune but it have to be some what different with a hit sound. He mostly plays just the brand new reggae but espect to hear lyrics with gospel and so on but you will never hear a hint of swearing in any songs that he plays. Everyone can listen to his show, its that cool and fresh. All brand new sweet reggae music to your ears.
