Back in 1997, pirate radio was the driving force behind the UK Garage explosion, and ICE 88.4FM was one of the key stations championing the underground sound. At the helm of the airwaves was none other than DJ EZ, a true don of the decks, known for his lightning-fast mixing, razor-sharp cuts, and deep selection of House & Garage anthems.
But no pirate radio session was complete without the energy of the MCs, and this show featured Ricky D & Sharky P, two heavyweights in the pirate radio garage scene. Their bars and hype perfectly complemented EZ’s seamless blends, bringing that unmistakable ’97 vibe—smooth vocals, sharp ad-libs, and nonstop reloads. The chemistry was undeniable, as Ricky D’s slick delivery and Sharky P’s high-energy hype kept the locked-in listeners skanking wherever they were.
This session is a pure slice of UKG history—raw, unfiltered, and straight from the underground. The crackle of the transmission, the basslines rolling deep, the MCs shelling it down—this is the sound of London pirate radio at its peak.
“Hold tight the ICE FM family—DJ EZ, Ricky D & Sharky P inside, bringing you nothing but vibes!”
