Euan Redwood is redefining what it means to be a sixth-form student. At 17, this Bath native juggles the demands of A-levels with an exciting career as a DJ, radio host, and music curator. Under the alias 50THREE, Euan hosts The 50three Show every Tuesday night on Radio Bath, infusing the airwaves with the best in electronic music—ranging from drum and bass to house and garage.
While other students focus on revision and university applications, Euan balances school with producing music, performing DJ sets at local venues and festivals, and interviewing top artists in the electronic scene. His guests have included notable names like Danny Byrd, Jaycee, TJB, and DJ Hypester, blending local talent with influential figures to create an engaging, dynamic program.
Euan’s journey began at the 2023 Creative Bath Awards, where a live set caught the attention of Radio Bath founders Steve Fountain and Loraine Morgan-Brinkhurst. What started as “Drum and Bass Tuesdays” evolved into The 50three Show, embracing a broader musical palette and inviting monthly guest DJs from the South West to join him on air. This collaborative spirit has amplified the show’s reach and appeal.

More than just spinning tracks, Euan creates a platform for discovery and mentorship. By researching big-name guests and spotlighting emerging artists, he offers listeners insight into the music scene’s inner workings. This thoughtful approach keeps the show fresh and inspiring, earning glowing feedback from fans who discover new music and deepen their appreciation for the genre.
Highlights in Euan’s burgeoning career include an impromptu DJ set in Beijing during a school trip, where over 100 students gathered for a surprise performance, and his festival debut at Shindig—an achievement made possible by a family connection and a long-held ambition. Meeting idols like Danny Byrd has further fueled his passion and commitment.
Despite the increasing spotlight, Euan remains grounded. He dedicates time each week to curate and prepare sets that balance structured planning with spontaneous creativity, allowing the vibe of the night and his guests’ styles to guide the music. His deep love for drum and bass shines through but never limits the show’s diverse, high-quality selections.
Euan is also keenly aware of the evolving media landscape. With platforms like Radio Garden, his Bath-based show now reaches audiences across the UK and internationally, from Brighton to Scotland and beyond. This expanding reach brings opportunities for gigs, collaborations, and mentoring, helping Euan build his brand and explore new creative directions.
Looking ahead, Euan aims to take The 50three Show live with local pop-ups and host dream guests such as Born on Road, The Trip, and Burt Cope. His journey offers valuable lessons: consistency, passion, and authenticity are paramount. His advice to aspiring DJs is simple—start now, create your own path, and keep showing up.
Balancing school and a rising music career is no easy feat, but Euan’s love for what he does ensures it never feels like work. He dedicates evenings and weekends to mixing, promoting, and evolving his craft, proving that with passion and perseverance, boundaries are meant to be broken.
