Urban Radio Prishtina: An Independent Platform for Underground Sound and Electronic Culture

In the constantly moving city of Prishtina, Urban Radio (UrbanFM 103.5) has, over the years, built an independent and sustainable space for underground music, connecting sound and vision, radio and scene, the local and the international. From the very beginning, Urban Radio has been deeply committed to spreading underground music culture and educating listeners about music history, with a strong focus on alternative, experimental,  and electronic sounds—always outside the mainstream.

Urban Radio has always been on frequency 03.5 FM. Radio is also cultural platform, built on curiosity, research, and respect for music as a form of expression and community. Through its programming, it has helped shape musical taste and build an audience that listens carefully and thinks critically about sound.

Urban Sessions: A Space for Local Artists and Contemporary Sound

One of the core pillars of the radio is the Urban Sessions format, where artists from Kosovo are presented through one-hour DJ or live mixes, offering an authentic insight into their musical identity. These sessions are  artistic statements, allowing local producers and DJs to share their vision and place Kosovo on the map of contemporary electronic music.

Urban Sessions is a platform dedicated to  emerging talent, and established artists, reflecting current movements within the global urban and electronic music scene. Through this format, Urban Radio has created bridges between the local scene and a growing international audience of DJs, tastemakers, and music lovers.

Beyond traditional radio broadcasting, Urban Radio has expanded its presence into the visual realm through Urban Sessions Live, streamed on their YouTube channel. These video sets document live performances and DJ sessions, offering audiences a closer connection to the artists and the energy of the moment.

Urban Radio Prishtina has played a crucial role in building, supporting, and growing the electronic music community in Kosovo. 

Big respect to the ideas, vision, and continuous work Urban Radio puts into keeping underground culture alive, creating real opportunities for artists, and strengthening a community that listens, learns, and evolves together.

At a time when fast platforms and algorithms dominate music distribution, Urban Radio remains a strong example of independence, careful curation, and dedication to art—a vital voice for Prishtina’s urban and electronic music landscape.
