Out 97 - Binghamton, NY's Dance Pirate Station

Hope you enjoyed this piece. Later!

So this is what $10,000 sounds like.
 
There are very few pirate stations that play dance. There used to be a pirate in Trenton about a few months ago that played dance and hip hop, there are a couple of dance pirates in Minnesota, there's a pirate in Seattle, and there used to be a dance pirate in Miami. A pirate in Newark has a house mixshow. There may be a few more dance pirates around the country that we don't know about. Most pirate stations are Caribbean.
Just wait a while, and more pirates will pop up in different cities since the FCC does nothing. Heck, there are 6 cities in New Jersey that are special enough to have their own pirate station, 3 of those cities got their first pirate station this year.
Pirates, while they may be a source of dance music in places that don't have a dance station, aren't good for the industry (even though I ran a 2 watt pirate station 4 years ago). Whenever I hear reggae, I think to myself "this is the music pirate stations play" and don't think too highly of that kind of music. I don't want people thinking the same about dance.
 
There's 2 pirates in my state. Energy 87.9 and Liquid Radio. Liquid Radio has it's own mixshow too. It seems we're quite the opposites, because when I hear something like Cascada or a hip hop remix I think, "This has to be a commercial dance station", and I don't think too highly of that type of music, and I don't want people thinking that dance music really is that bland!
 
Central Indiana has mystery fm 93.5 playing mostly UK Garage, UK Funky House, and Drum and Bass, with some Classics and jumpstyle thrown in... Hard to tell where it comes from considering the Huge area it seems to cover.

On Shortwave you have sporatic brocasts from WMPR DANCE PARTY,,, no one knows where it is...

Gary indiana,,, has 87.9 THE HARBER BEAT....

Virginia in the Hillsville Galax area has one called Z-100 mostly on weekends,, leans Euro and hands up techno.

Raleigh NC did have two on 92.5 and a 99.3 rebroadcasting net streams.
