AIAIAI and Victory Lap Radio: a collaboration celebrating UK pirate radio

This past month we partnered with Victory Lap Radio, the platform reviving the raw spirit of UK pirate radio, for a special product drop celebrating underground sound and self-made scenes. The limited run collaboration sold out very fast on our own webpage, but may still be available through Victory Lap, and at select retailers such as Dover Street Market London, Extra Butter (NYC), End Clothing (London), HBX (Hong Kong), and Westend DJ (London).

The collaboration centers around a custom edition of our recently released TMA-2 DJ Wireless headphones, as well as Bluetooth headphones, reimagined in a design that pays homage to Victory Lap’s aesthetic language and deep connection to the UK rap underground. With subtle nods to classic studio hardware and DIY radio culture, the headphones fuse modular audio innovation with cultural storytelling.

Victory Lap is broadcasting the UK rap scene’s fresh energy. First-gen grime pioneers honed their craft through MC clashes in youth clubs and on pirate stations, and now, Victory Lap is bringing back that raw radio ethos for a new wave of artists. The platform’s signature live sessions and high-pressure mic passes have become a proving ground for the most exciting underground voices in Britain.

This collaboration reflects a shared belief in self-expression, independent culture, and the power of sound to move communities. The campaign features south London rapper Jawnino who is turning the UK electronic and hip-hop scenes on their heads through raw, genre-blending sounds that feel both otherworldly and deeply rooted.

For AIAIAI, whose mission is to empower boundary-pushing creators with high-quality, responsible audio gear, the partnership is a natural fit. The brand has long supported artists and institutions who shape music from the ground up, with past collaborations including Ninja Tune, COLORS, Stones Throw, and HIDDEN.NY.

This release isn’t just about a product - it’s about amplifying a movement that’s been bubbling under, and giving voice to the next generation shaping the sound of the streets.
