Windows Internet Radio Guide has become a popular player around the world for web radio listeners. With close to 400 Electronica/Dance stations presented on the guide, after only 8 months, Atlanta’s USA Dance Mix has risen to Top 20 Dance status. We’ve been climbing their list all month long and are currently at #13, which we feel is quite an honor considering the amount of stations present.
The station features a NEW edgy, Dance music format, 40 YEARS OF DANCE (1975-2015). Dance actually has 41 years as Disco began in 1974. We recently said goodbye to the 2 songs we were playing from 1974. However, at the end of 2015 we will wave goodbye to 19 songs (to keep the 40 year format true). Some call us a retro-station but with close to 50% of our product (Dance-Disco-House) post 2000 we certainly play a lot of current stuff also. What makes the station so popular? We like to take risks.....and the listeners love it! We’re probably one of the first worldwide stations to play the new Chic & Niles Rodger track “I’ll Be There”.

The Disco revival begain in 2007 and is still going strong today. Probably stronger than ever! As people continue to wake up to the limitations of sound alike Electronica, always popular House music and Historical Dance are making a HUGE comeback. Many of the tracks we play are newer versions of older hits, and the listenres love ‘em! Another station innovation is the daily format swing. Friday starts with Dance & Disco songs all about love (with “love” in the title) from midnight till noon. Beleve it or not, this is the most popular porgram on the station! Then at noon Friday The Worldwide Disco Trip takes over and lasts till midnight Sunday (featuring our most popular tracks new/retro). USA Dance Mix continues to be strong on the weekend as many weekday workers are able to listen at leisure. Monday we go more current with newer material (Totally Awesome Monday). Tuesday and Thursday we take on a more Dance/R&B Flavor (Super Soulful Days). Wednesday is ladies day (Womder Woman Wednesday) as about 98% of the songs played are by female singers or artists.
Interesting that a Dance station from Atlatna has actually become popular. We certainly don’t have such a Dance station here in the metro! We’d rather expand our never ending stable of Country and Alternative stations (not). However, if you hop across the dial you can actually piece together a fairly decent one by cherry picking the Dance songs that are presented.
