Bringing Soul Back To The Airwaves
It’s been 30 years since Gordon Mac founded radio station, Kiss FM. Three decades later, it’s the number one commercial radio station in London. “I love that it’s still successful, because it’s what I created,” says Mac. Known as the ‘Godfather of dance music’, the DJ launched Kiss FM with business partner Martin Strivens in 1985.

Godfather Of Dance To Soul Pioneer
The first thing you notice about Gordon Mac is the hair, and then the laugh. A bunch of stubby, silver dreads bound with a black hairband. Against his sharp suit, they suggest an interesting past. The laugh is boyish and infectious, a snicker. You can’t help but think of a lion – with a mellow demeanour.

The soul-music platform has been broadcasting for three years online through its website and mobile-phone apps, from a fully equipped studio based in the Stephen Lawrence Trust building in Deptford.
