After nearly eight months away from the studio, Chris returns to the radio waves once more to bring you the soundtrack to your weekend. The Ministry of Sound Academy DJ, has secured a prime-time slot in a new city and for a completely new station.
Chris finished University in June and like many graduates spent the first three months searching for a job. But ever since finding his feet in Leeds, he has been itching to get back on the radio.
"I love being on the radio," Chris said, "and I love music. The last few months of my student radio career went so fast and the feedback I got from The House Bandits show was incredible that I couldn't just leave it there."
The House Bandits won Best Specialist Show at the in-house University awards and Chris' eight-hour send off was described as 'a great example of how you can take your show on the road' by Student Radio Award judges.
So what does his new show have in store?
"During 2011 I kept in contact with a whole host of radio personalities who all told me the same thing, 'don't try and be the next whoever, be the first Chris McKay'. So that's what I'm doing. I've done various shows in the past but my passion has always been House music and that's what I'm focusing on."
Chris promises to bring listeners the best in House music, with unheard remixes, bootlegs as well as minimixes from local talent.
"Last summer saw the release of some amazing tracks and bit by bit House music is rearing it's beautiful head in the mainstream chart. What I want to do is show people the best of the genre by encompassing what it means - 'hands-in-the-air' house.
Chris has already got some unbelievable mixes and unreleased material lined up for his shows and hopes to start the way he means to go on.
"I've been sent some great tracks over the last few months and my playlist for the first show is coming together nicely. I've even got a minimix from super-producer Avicii to really kick off the show in style."
You can listen to Chris' new show through South Leeds Radio online
His first show is on Saturday 21st January at 10pm.
Chris is always on the look out for new music, minimixes and bootlegs. If you've got new music or want to feature on the show get in touch
