THE TELESCOPE TEAM

MEET OUR CURATORS

ALEX 

Founder of Telescope Radio
Ex drummer for 3½ Minutes and Travis Cut, Alex now spends his time curating and wallowing in a 90's Indie past with Telescope.

Darrell Carter

Music Controller.
​After being told for many years that “You’ve certainly got a face for radio,” Darrell has finally been given the chance to host his own show for Telescope Radio. Add a pinch of electronic, a mix of experimental, a little bit of pop and give it a good old avant garde shake to create Dazzer’s Noise Hour. We promise they’ll be no Take That at this house party...

Daniel Clan

Music Controller.
​Introducing Daniel Clan - The original Home Counties wide boy, who started out as a Mobile DJ in the 80s. Got kicked off Hospital Radio for playing "gloomy songs", Joy Division/Smiths/Leonard Cohen. Now resident in Manchester via Bradford & Birmingham. Lover of discordant guitars, girl singers, quirky bass and off beat drumming. Fanzine writer and photographer, would be record label boss!

Wesley Grant

Music Controller.
​Wes is a hypnotist, bunny whisperer, book wrangler, obsessive hoarder and cheese lover. He started DJing at The Square in Harlow on new bands showcase night in 1994 and has used every moment that he could to play obscure music on a giant stereo system at a disinterested crowd as often as he’s been able to since, including in venues such as the London Astoria, Birmingham NEC, and Alexandra Palace. The nights in The Square playing cheesy disco, 80s classics and 90s bangers will always be held fondest in his memories though. Wes can still occasionally be found in the wild playing under the name DJ Strangelove (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Elton John), where he loves to mix everything up, from 90s indie, Northern Soul and 80s classics to ska, punk and whatever else has wormed it’s way into his head recently.

Charlie Boucher

Music Controller.
Charlie Boucher is a writer. She has had two plays broadcast on BBC Radio 4, and her short film "My Dead Buddy" won the Channel 4 Lloyd's Bank Film Challenge so long ago that no one remembers what that is.
