Radio 1 Dance has confirmed a new line-up of DJs for The Residency, beginning on 4th December and running through to March next year.

The weekly show will continue every Thursday from 11pm to 1am on BBC Radio 1 and Radio 1 Dance, with each month handed to a different DJ – Rossi., Lens, Jazzy and MALUGI. A special one-off edition of The Residency will also air on 29th January.
Rossi. leads the December slot with a sound shaped by headline sets across major venues and festivals. His work covers underground and chart breakthroughs. He says being invited to curate a month of The Residency is an opportunity he has long hoped for.
In January, Lens takes over with her approach to drum and bass and club-focused production. Her recent releases and remixes have attracted radio support, and she says joining The Residency is a dream that allows her to showcase the sounds influencing the scene today.
Jazzy, who features throughout February, is known for her work as a DJ and vocalist and has achieved major success both in Ireland and the UK. She says she wants listeners to hear the club-driven selections that shaped her before her chart-topping collaborations.
In March it’s MALUGI, whose high-energy style has built a loyal following across major club and festival stages. Recently named a Radio 1 Dance Future Star, he says his first radio residency is a chance to share new facets of his musical journey and spotlight rising talent.

BBC Radio and Music’s Open Music training scheme will return for a third edition in 2026.

This next programme begins with six Insight Days staged across the UK from December 2025 to February 2026, marking the first time the scheme has gone on the road.
Events in Cardiff, Birmingham, Glasgow, Salford, London and Belfast are designed to reach more people who are passionate about classical and orchestral music and curious about how the BBC brings it to audiences.
Each session will introduce attendees to industry professionals and, in some locations, offer hands-on experience in technical and radio production. This will include planning and producing a mock radio programme, giving potential trainees a realistic insight into BBC workflows and expectations.
The Insight Days form part of the wider 2026 BBC Open Music scheme, which runs from Spring to Autumn and supports early-career creatives who want to build skills in broadcasting, production and music.
Applications open in December, with selected participants later gaining the chance to support broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 in Autumn 2026, offering real-world experience at the heart of the network’s classical output.
Previous editions have led former trainees to roles across the BBC and wider industry, including radio production, presenting, communications and sound engineering, supported by mentoring from presenters such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Linton Stephens and Katie Derham, and from staff teams across Radio 3, BBC Introducing, Radio 1Xtra and the BBC Concert Orchestra.
