Tim Garcia is a London-based DJ, radio broadcaster, and label owner known for his genre-spanning selections and deep-rooted commitment to underground music culture. With a weekly residency on Rinse FM, Tim continues to champion cutting-edge sounds across electronic music, jazz, hip hop, and global club styles. He previously held down a five-year weekly show on national station Jazz FM and was a regular on Worldwide FM until its closure.
As a DJ, Tim has played at clubs and festivals around the world, including Glastonbury, We Out Here, Love Supreme, Lost Village, and Beneath the Baobabs and many more, earning a reputation for dynamic, soulful sets that connect the dots between scenes and styles.
Through his label Musica Macondo, Tim has released music from Grammy-nominated artists and some of the most respected names in global and electronic music including Quantic, K15, and Osunlade. The label is driven by a belief in music as a force for social change, exploring circular models of music release and cross-cultural, non-extractive collaborations that honour community and creative integrity.
His work is grounded in a rich understanding of music’s cultural and social power, further shaped by a Master’s degree in Ethnomusicology from SOAS University of London.
