October is Black History Month and this year the theme is ‘Reclaiming Narratives,’ marking the significant shift towards recognising and correcting the narratives of Black history and culture. Here's how we're celebrating on KISS...

Listen to our Black History Month playlists on Rayo

We kicked off Black History Month with the most amazing Rayo playlists reflecting and celebrating the legacy and influence of Black UK music. These playlists are available the whole of October!

We’ll be bringing you a range of dedicated playlists, including UK Rap Essentials, Funky Anthems, Afro Swing, and many more.

Each playlist highlights the sounds and artists that have shaped the UK music scene and continue to inspire new generations.
