Hosted by Frank, Vegyn, and Roof Access, the episode saw a rollercoaster of genres thrown in to its one-hour playback – from Miley Cyrus to The Beatles, the show also saw the premiere of a brand new song (as has been accustomed throughout the series). A$AP Rocky was the focus, with Blonded playing the first spin of RAF, which features Frank Ocean, Lil Uzi Vert and Quavo.

Kurupt FM’s Asim Chaudhry, aka Chabuddy G, may have lost out to Steve Coogan in the ‘Best Male Performance In A Comedy Programme’ category at this evening’s 2017 BAFTA Awards, but fortunately not all was lost as the series still managed to walk away with the Best Scripted Comedy gong moments ago.
This one is MASSIVELY deserved; Kurupt FM’s rise to success hasn’t passed many by – from starting out on YouTube to becoming a fully-fledge series on BBC Three, the tale of the Brentford crew has led to multitudes of appearances over the past couple of years, including a return visit to Glastonbury later this summer.
Grindah, Beats, Steves, Decoy and co are all currently filming the programme’s fourth season, set to hit screens later this year.
Watch their post-win interview below:

On Thursday, Lido teased a mysterious new remix – no-one knew what form that would take, however now the Norwegian has truly delivered as he drops his wonderful edit of Portugal, The Man’s recent single Feel It Still.
Lido seems to completely nail everything he puts out there, and this new rework fully exemplifies this – the essence of the original remains fully in-tact, at least the melody that is, with Lido’s experimental productions taking over the instrumental to morph PTM’s version into a smooth head-nodder.
