Everyone at BCfm Radio is delighted to congratulate presenter and DJ Siva Gold on being nominated for Best New Presenter at the ARIAS 2026, the UK’s most prestigious audio and radio awards.
Organised by the Audio Academy, the ARIAS celebrate the very best in British radio and audio, with nominees and winners judged by more than 200 senior professionals from across the industry. A nomination is widely regarded as one of the highest honours in UK broadcasting.
Siva hosts the weekly drum & bass show Additions To My Collection on BCfm, where her passion for the music, deep knowledge of the scene and exceptional tune selection have quickly built a loyal audience. Blending fresh new releases with genre defining classics, the show has welcomed guests including Sigma, Natty Lou, Krust and Vikter Duplaix.
A respected figure in Bristol’s drum & bass community, Siva is also a resident DJ with Full Cycle. Her reputation for creating unforgettable sets has taken her to legendary venues and events in Bristol, London, Ibiza and Amsterdam.
Full Cycle founder Roni Size said:
“Siva instinctively knows how to curate sets that fill dance floors and radio shows that build loyal followings. Her deep knowledge and experience built up over 30 years of being immersed in the scene means she knows exactly how to put on a show that’ll entertain any audience.”
Growing up listening to pirate radio stations in the 1990s, Siva developed a lifelong love of drum & bass before learning to DJ while studying music and dance at university. Today, she continues to champion the culture through both radio and live performance.
With major bookings already confirmed for 2026, including events with Full Cycle, RUN All Day and V Recordings, alongside the upcoming release of her debut EP and the launch of her own club night, Clubb, this is shaping up to be a landmark year.
For a community radio presenter to be recognised alongside some of the biggest names and broadcasters in UK audio is a remarkable achievement and a testament to Siva’s talent, dedication and love for the music.
Congratulations Siva from everyone at BCfm Radio, and good luck at the ARIAS.
