Voices in the vault

Original IDs from DJs and presenters: short drops, proper station imaging and voices heard again after more than a decade.

Original DanceRadio imaging / 2010–2011

Press play on the past.

These short IDs only play when selected. Starting one pauses the live stream so the two signals never fight each other.

04

Signal ledger

DanceRadio has changed platforms, servers and visual identities. The through-line is people sharing long-form electronic music without sanding off its edges.

2009

Station founded

DanceRadio.ca begins broadcasting Canadian and international electronic music.

2010

Radio One grows

Original programme cards and artist station IDs survive from this era.

2011

On the floor

Live event broadcasts connect Ottawa nightlife directly to the stream.

2013

Magazine era

News, shows, artists and festivals become a deep WordPress publication.

2014

New partnerships

Decoded Radio and an expanding international programme schedule join the signal.

2026

Transmission restored

The archive and live stream return on resilient new station infrastructure.

05

What the station stands for

Condensed from the original About page: the standards that made DanceRadio independent, international and worth tuning into.

01 / COMMUNITY

Built with listeners and DJs

The station grows through the people who make, select and care about the music.

02 / BALANCE

New voices beside known names

Up-and-coming DJs, residents and international artists all get a seat at the table.

03 / FRESHNESS

New, current, accountable

Programme quality matters. The original standard was fresh material every week.

04 / CONTINUITY

Long-form mixes

Continuous sets of at least an hour, built to be heard as journeys rather than clips.

05 / INTEGRITY

Original and properly obtained

No borrowed filler stream. The station carries material supplied for the station.

06 / INDEPENDENCE

Music before interruption

Commercial-free programming remains the goal while the station supports its operating costs.

Got a show worth hearing?
