Ola's Kool Kitchen is a radio show presented by DJ Ola. The Kool Kitchen originally began broadcasting on the United Kingdom internet station Radio Nowhere, when the Kool Kitchen was conceived by DJ Ola as a reaction against mainstream radio's focus on playlists prescribed by major record labels. At the present, the show is broadcasting on Radio23, ErrorFM and Radio INDI, which is located in Puerto Rico. The show features an eclectic range of music from all around the world, with established artists and up and coming included, as well as unsigned musicians from any time period. The Kool Kitchen frequently covers the Primavera Sound Festival and the Lockstock Festival.
