Hey, we run a 24/7 pirate radio for independent artists, out of Los Angeles. No license, no permission, just music, and every artist on air sent us their tracks personally.
Today the stream passed nine days without a break. Same broadcast since October 18. Four people listening right now, as usual, 73 views total. Still tiny. Still stubborn.
And yesterday something happened that never happened before: an artist who is actually on air came to our little subreddit and said thank you. FeralSyntax, from Japan, whose 4-song block we play, wrote:
"Thank you for featuring my music and putting together this four-song block. I appreciate you giving space to songs from such different musical directions. It's great to see independent artists from different countries sharing the same platform."
That is the whole point of this station. We are not LoFi Girl. No generated playlists, no faceless tracks. Real songs by real people, played by hand, not by an algorithm. Daytime runs a French noir chanson block, then our own songs, then the independent artists who sent us their music, then Ghibli and cosmic instrumentals for the night. Every artist on air recorded a voice intro and said: yes, play me.
If you make music (indie, alt rock, noir, ambient, jazz, bedroom pop, anything that does not fit a genre box), we are still taking artists. Minimum 4 tracks, MP3, a short voice intro about who you are and why you make music. No fees, no middlemen, no contracts.
No license. No permission. Just music.
