Xfm founder launches new radio and music platform based out of Camden
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 21 September 2015
As Xfm relaunches as Radio X this morning, Xfm founder Sammy Jacob announces his latest music venture, which officially kicks off tomorrow. He has teamed up with Camden Market to launch Camden Xperience – of CDNX – a new music service that combines radio, online music news and live events.
The radio element in many ways evolves Jacob’s most recent online music venture The Music Machine, with a steady stream of new and classic, indie and alternative tracks mixed up with regular music and gigs news, artist interviews and ‘takeovers’. Available through all the usual online-radio channels, CDNX is also set to appear in the DAB digital radio network in North London.
Confirming its participation in the new music venture, Charles Butler of Market-Tech, which owns Camden Markets, told reporters: “Camden has built much of its reputation and success on being a hub for creative individuals. We fully appreciate the need to support such individuals, in particular the musicians and venue promoters. We see CDNX being a great supportive platform providing a level of exposure through various media and live activity”.
Meanwhile Jacob added: “I haven’t had this much fun and sense of purpose for many years. We’re constantly arguing about music, bands and their social values. The CDNX team is super passionate. Placing the music first is inherent in everything we do, which makes this an absolute joy and very exciting indeed”.
You can already check out CDNX online ahead of the official launch at Camden venue Dingwalls tomorrow.
