Arts & Culture Hour with Marianna – December Xmas Special Supporting Autism Awareness

18/12/2025 at 21:00CET / 15:00EST

Arts & Culture Hour with Marianna, the monthly cultural radio programme hosted by artist and curator Marianna O’Reilly, presents a very special Christmas edition this December featuring an exclusive deep dive into the world of drum & bass, music charity, and artistic collaboration.

This festive special will spotlight Furney, the legendary liquid drum & bass producer whose ‘My Hero King’ album — released in November on the Liquid Drum & Bass 4 Autism label — has been embraced by fans and critics alike for its soulful production and heartfelt purpose. 100% of the proceeds from the album support autism therapies and research, making the album both an artistic achievement and a meaningful charity project.

Joining Furney on the show will be:
Lady Emz – acclaimed vocalist featured on several collaborators with Furney on tracks from My Hero King, blending lyrical depth with the liquid DnB sound.
Michael Lafasakis – founder of Liquid Drum & Bass 4 Autism and key organizer behind the charity initiative that drives the My Hero King project and other releases benefitting autism support. ldnb4autism
