Kurupt FM Take Over UNLOCKED Shoreditch Basement with Rizla & DJ Mag
A one-off cultural moment blending music, media and one of the UK’s most iconic comedy brands
When Kurupt FM steps out of the screen and into a real-world venue, it doesn’t land quietly.
At UNLOCKED Shoreditch, the Basement — home to UNLOCKED Electronic — became the setting for a one-off show that blurred the line between broadcast, live event and underground culture. Partnering with Rizla and DJ Mag, the night brought together music, personality and community in a way that felt raw, relevant and completely unscripted.
From screen to real life
Kurupt FM has always sat between parody and reality — and that carried into the night. What could have been a controlled recording turned into something more natural. The crowd weren’t just watching, they were part of it.
That shift from screen to real life is what made it land.
Done properly with the right partners
Working with Rizla and DJ Mag gave the show the right backing. It felt aligned — the audience, the talent, the energy — nothing forced. UNLOCKED Shoreditch with its electronic music platform fit perfectly alongside these powerhouses, focused on music-led moments and culture. This is exactly the kind of show it’s built for. Something that sits between a live event and content.
