HotMixRadio http://www.hotmixradio.com France
One of the biggest stations online for commercial and Crossover House music.
The liners are top of the line, and there’s even drops from some of the big artists (like the Shapeshifters introing their record). Their main reference is what’s charting on the French Dance chart: http://www.djbuzz.com/pages_charts/mondaychart.asp
There’s a total of 4 channels offered here, but the main one is the one focused on House Dance.
Radio Oz http://www.radiooz.net/ Australia
Funny liners with Scooby Doo are one of the charms associated with Radio Oz. It’s a cool Dance station that’ll play any type of good/decent Dance record in regular rotation, whether it’s House, Trance, Breaks, D N B, and commercial Dance. The high quality 96 K AAC stream makes it even more enjoyable.
Digitally Imported http://di.fm/ U.S.A.
A favorite with the Trance crowd, DI has an amazing lineup of weekly resident DJs. What started out as a jukebox for popular Trance anthems in the early part of the decade has grown to become one of the most respected online radio stations portal around. These days there’s a channel that caters to almost any kind of real Dance fan. Check out their DJ Mixes station, the Classic Electronica channel, or the new Techno channel, and maybe you’ll get it - why this is one of THE places for EDM music on the net. And since the website is now associated with SKY.FM there’s also channels for numerous other types of music genres (like Rock, Pop, Retro, New Age, and the awesome Classic Rap channel).
A couple of sidenotes: The House Channel focuses mainly on Midtempo and West Coast House. Also, once an hour you might hear an actual ad/commercial on some channels so don’t be alarmed.
Frisky Radio http://www.friskyradio.com/ U.S.A.
Big on Progressive House, Electro, Tech House, and anything else the Progressive camp is into these days. Nonstop mixes, including sets by some of the genres elite (Sasha, Dave Seaman, Flash Brothers). The station has launched Frisky nights at clubs all over the world including Chicago and Vienna. Furthermore, it has launched a record store to better serve its dedicated audience.
Ipartradio.com http://ipartyradio.com/ U.S.A
The cliffnotes: Dance hits with a strong lean on House music. The audio processing on the stream is better than great, the liners are professional, and the mixshows ROCK.
Rise FM http://www.risefm.com/ Denmark
Mainstream Dance channel with some very professional liners, and a strong lean on Trance and crossover Euro-Trance
There’s several weekly shows hosted by well-known DJs such as Agnelli & Nelson, Darren Tate, Matt Darey, Pedro Del Mar, and DJ Choose.
DNBRadio http://www.dnbradio.com/ UK
Can you handle this? The darker side of Electronica with nothing but wicked Drum N Bass and Jungle beats. Quite a few of these producers are trying to constantly push the envelope, enhance and enrich what you hear on a typical track. Good audio processing on this station too.
1Club.fm http://www.1club.fm/ U.S.A.
Your radio dial on CRACK! So many stations to choose from. More music stations then your FM dia with lots of great Dance stations to boot. Want some Breaks? Psy-Trance? Hard Dance? Ibiza Anthems? Mainstream Dance? Old School? Pure Trance? House? Well then you’ve come to the right place. Oh, and the station collaborates with Party107.com and Gruvsonic, so as a bonus you get their Dance channels as well here. A Couple of gems are the Freestyle channel (probably the best place on the net to hear Freestyle music from its peak days), as well an an oldschool Miamimixx (Miami’s Retro Dance Channel).
ETN.FM http://etn.fm/ U.S.A.
Alongside D.I. FM this is the online station with the most stellar weekly resident DJ lineup. A lot of the new records being spun in the sets of some of the scene’s finest can be heard right here. Be sure to check out all the articles and DJ interviews under the Articles section. There’s so many good shows to mention but a couple that I’d like to point out are Kenneth Thomas with his show Obsessions which airs Tuesdays on the Progressive Channel, and Aly & Fila’s show Spiritual Moment on Fridays over on the Trance Channel.
Energy 981 http://www.energy981.com/ U.S.A.
One of the most famous online Mainstream Dance hits channel based in the U.S. The station was launched after Energy 92.5 & 7 left the airwaves in Chicago, so the spirit of that station lives on here. There’s live Djs, great liners, and the music mix is balanced between Currents and Recurrents (ie older records). There’s a second channel which focuses on...Classic Rock! Oh, and Energy is now associated with 202 Online so you get a plethora of stations from them, which includes another Dance station called Techno Club, and everything from Top 40 stations, to Country, to the new Rhythmic A/C format.
Puls Radio http://www.pulsradio.com France
Mainstream Dance station based in France, but focusing on the big crossover anthems in Germany and all of Central Europe. That means the German Club charts are a strong reference guide: http://www.deutsche-dj-playlist.de/gkddp/?GKR=top100&GKEB=2
This is also where Euro acts like Cascada, DHT, and DJ Sammy might break out of on the net. So, if you want to hear Euro-Dance, Euro-Trance, Trance anthems, House anthems, and basically mainstream Dance in general this is one of your best options. You’ll love the audio processing - it’s excellent.
Techno FM http://techno.fm/ Canada
Montreal is in the house and representing to the fullest. Lots of cool stations to listen to here including one with live mixes, a real Techno channel, as well as ones catering to fans of Psy, House, Prog, Trance, and D N' B.
Ravenet Radio http://www.ravenet-radio.de/ Germany
Did someone say RAVE?
Yes, the oldschool spirit of PLUR, or peace, love, unity, respect lives on. Ravers unite for a net station that plays some great mixes of House, Hard Dance, and Trance. Most of the young DJs at this station love to spin at least some Hard Dance (whether it’s cheesy Hands Up, or underground Hard Techno) so expect the energy level to be on overdrive most times .
Proton Radio http://protonradio.com/ U.S.A.
The leading webstation for the global Progressive camp. Luke Chable, Sander Kleinenberg, Anthony Pappa, D:Fuse, Chris Fortier, Shiloh, Oliver Lieb, Jody Wisternoff, Kosmas Epsilon,and loads more good Djs can all be heard hosting and mixing it up.
Some of the best shows to look out for include Balance Record Pool Presents, DJ Magazine Presents Soundlab, and The Download hosted by Beatport
Moo Dance http://www.moodance.com U.S.A.
There are some hillarious liners here, which bode well with the name of the station. It’s nice to see a station that knows how to sound both silly and professional at the same time. There’s even a “serving the universe” jingle of the type made famous on Z-100 New York.
You’re also in for quite a treat with the station’s super high quality streams. There’s a 128 K AAC stream! You can’t top that. Oh yeah, the music’s not bad either
Radio Seven http://www.radioseven.se/ Sweden
Mainstream Dance from the land that brought you Abba and Ace of Base. The station is considered old by net-radio standards as it’s been around since 1999. The focus is largely on Euro-Dance, though there’s some crossover Trance and House too. Nice audio processing.
Bassline http://www.bassline.gr/ Greece
From that intro on the Progressive/Psychedelic Trance channel you know you’re about to be exposed to some of the sickest Psy/Goa music around. The 32 K AAC stream ensures that your experience will be a pleasurable one. When you need to cool it down, simply flip it over to the Chillout Channel.
BassDrive http://www.bassdrive.com/ U.S.A.
For all of your Drum N bass needs you might as well go here. BassDrive is also a record label that promotes America’s DNB scene, and with the Track History right there in front of you on the homepage you know exactly what it is that you’re hearing.
I-Breaks http://www.ibreaks.co.uk/ U.K.
Quality Breakbeat music 24/7, and it’s associated with a Breaks record store.
The weekly shows are archived and can be heard by going to the Archives section of the Menu. Nice audio processing if you’re listening to the Broadband stream.
Cyberstacja http://cyberstacja.com/ Poland
Three Dance channels to choose from. Klub focuses on Euro-Dance, House anthems, crossover Trance, and is highly recommended. The second is a pure Trance channel, and there’s a separate House channel too.
The website promotes big Dance events in Poland, and helps in some way to unite and ignite the passionate Polish Club scene.
Radio ABF http://www.radioabf.net/ France
Sounds like a very professional operation on the main ABF channel, which focuses on the big House hits (and the occasional Hip Hop record) that are currently hitting France and much of Europe. The real gem though is ABF Underground, which plays some of the sickest Techno music on the planet. You’ll also hear some Tribal and Drum N Bass here.
Vonyc http://www.vonyc.com/radio/ Germany
Owned and associated with the number one ranked DJ in the world, a certain Paul Van Dyk, Vonyc is both a record store and a radio station. As expected, there’s plenty of Trance here from Paul’s record bag, but also some good House and Progressive records you might want to familiarize yourself with. The grapics are cool, and there’s good station promo-liners too. There’s also some nightly shows hosted by well known DJs like Steve Porter, John Askew, and of course PVD himself.
CBA FM http://www.cbafm.com/ Argentina
One of the premiere online Dance stations from Latin America. CBA FM airs some of the top weekly DJ shows including Robbie Rivera, Matt Darey, Ronald Van Gelderen, Chris Liebing, Markus Schulz, Ronski Speed, Ernesto vs. Bastian, Filo & Perry, and the list goes on. The only drawback is the stream is set at 64 K.
