Ruby Savage

Since relocating from her hometown Amsterdam to London in 2007, Ruby Savage spent over a decade working behind the scenes in independent music. Starting behind the counter of London’s renowned Honest Jon's Record store, she deepened her musical knowledge and record collection with an extended love for soul, jazz, disco, dub and dance music.

During her time managing Theo Parrish’s record label Sounds Signature (2011-15) she was in close vicinity to his much coveted DJ sets giving her unique insight into the art of DJing, which has gone on to inform her own approach to the craft.

In 2016 her stewardship as label manager at Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings became instrumental to the label’s growing success and served as a stepping stone into DJing as she joined Worldwide FM’s early roster of radio hosts.

In 2017 she moved to NTS Radio where she continues to present her Radiant Life show every third Saturday of the month. Ruby is also host to a monthly segment on Tokyo’s J-Wave 81.3 FM radio, connecting Japanese audiences to heritage and contemporary sounds of London.

As a DJ, Ruby has performed at leading clubs across the UK, Europe including Corsica Studios, Koko Electronic, Phonox, Djoon, Panorama Bar, La Paloma, Doka, Kaiku, Basic Club. She also frequently returns to Brazil and Oceania for their club and festival seasons. In 2024 she was invited to programme and host a month-long residency at NT Loft and made her Glastonbury festival debut at the San Remo stage.
