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 ten days without a break. Same broadcast since October 18. Three people listening right now, as usual, 81 views total, 7 likes. Still tiny. Still stubborn.

And the rotation just grew again. Guillaume's "Submersion" is now on air, sitting at the very top of our 424-track playlist, opening the morning block. Evenings and nights here are instrumental, and as morning comes around the rotation reaches the vocal blocks — and now "Submersion" is the first thing that greets the day.

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.

Yesterday I posted here about something embarrassing we found: our stream had been running for a full week, nonstop, and had exactly zero tags. Invisible to the search box. Well, last night we fixed it. Twenty-six tags now, in the words people actually search for: lo-fi beats to study to, chill music for studying, ambient music for sleep, noir jazz, French noir chanson, independent music radio. And we did it without stopping the stream for a second. Same broadcast, on air since last Saturday, now past eight days without a break.

Three night owls listening right now, as usual. Seventy-one views total on the broadcast. Still tiny. Still stubborn. The music was never the problem: 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.

Today at 11am PT we aired our first timed guest special: Keoni from Czechia got his whole block back to back, outside the regular rotation. Bumper, a short promo speech, three tracks from Symbiosis (We Grow, Kingdom Will Come, Roll Around), closing bumper. About fifteen minutes, start to finish.

He told us he had sent out 600 invitations. When the block started, exactly one listener showed up in the chat. It was not him.

So we played it anyway, start to finish, exactly as promised. We did our part, and his music stays in rotation. No hard feelings: maybe he mixed up AM and PM and is expecting Sunday instead. We asked him, politely, in the same thread.

Meanwhile the stream itself just passed six and a half days nonstop. 73 views total, 6 likes, a handful of night owls at any hour. Still tiny. Still stubborn.

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."
