Marginalised voices first — the best kept secret.
Artists who come on the station get merch — and the best sessions get a limited-edition drop of their own. Listeners can still win the hot sauce.
Coming on a tiny independent station should be worth your while. So every guest leaves with something, and a few each season get their name on a numbered run that sells for two weeks and is never made again. The merch is made by Highs & Lows, our sister project that exists to create good jobs for people living with bipolar disorder.
Interview, guest spot or a record you bring in.
You play live, or take over a show for the night.
For the sessions people won't stop talking about.
Pitch us a session, an interview or a crate dig. If it lands, you're booked.
Your name, our logo, one of the Highs & Lows pieces. You sign off the design before anything is printed.
The drop opens the moment your session goes out, and the link goes up here and on Instagram.
Each piece is numbered and printed to order. When the window shuts, the design is retired and the file is closed.
Tell us who you are, what you'd bring to the show, and a link to your music.
Pitch yourselfThe everyday range — Roast Scale and The Line tees and hoodies, plus pin badges — is printed to order on organic cotton, with UK postage included.
Shop the rangeEvery month, one bottle of Top Secret Hot Sauce goes out to a listener. No purchase, no store, no listing — just the station rewarding whoever brings something worth hearing.
Send in something worth telling — the kind of tale that belongs on Debrief or Redacted.
Show us the deepest cut in your crate. If it's obscure enough to earn a spot in The Archive, it's in the running.
A track, a station, a rabbit hole worth falling into — tell us what we're missing.
Drop your entry in the comments on our Instagram — that's where each month's winner gets picked from.
Sitting very high on the Scoville scale — this isn't a starter sauce. Small batch, made to be talked about, not finished in one sitting.
We post each month's hot sauce drop as an event on Chalo — a time window and rough location, not an exact pin. Follow along to know when it's live near you.
There isn't a shipping address to publish, and that's intentional. Winners are contacted directly through Instagram once picked each month.
