As part of 2009’s BBC Electric Proms, BBC Introducing will be giving four unsigned artists the opportunity to record a session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios. This once in a lifetime opportunity will see the artists given exposure to industry experts who will guide them in creating unique sessions to be broadcast across BBC Radio between Tuesday 20th October – Saturday 24th October.

Kid Adrift, Daley, Lost Knives and Lettie were initially discovered via BBC Introducing regional shows and the BBC Introducing music upload service. Each artist will be championed across the week of Electric Proms with a session track being played by DJ’s on BBC’s flagship music radio stations – Radio 1, 1Xtra, 6 Music and Radio 2 respectively.
