We’re a Social Purpose Corp (SPC) who’s currently building a new kind of streaming platform specifically for live and local music.
We’re a growing, passionate team of out-of-the-box thinkers, not afraid to make waves and challenge the status-quo. We’re musicians, nerds and entrepreneurs. We know the importance of music and the creative act when it comes to human culture.
We see what’s happening today with music streaming services, AI in music and art, and the continued struggle of independent, original artists.
Guess what? We’ve had enough of all that. So, we’re building something new and taking the power back.
Let’s dive even deeper into our motivation for all this, shall we?
Many of us grew up listening to radio. Corporate interests have all but stripped the spirit of radio from the medium, taking focus away from communities and piping in content from consolidated sources.
Music radio used to be alive; great stations were full of people who lived and loved where they worked. The DJs, hosts, engineers and everyone else who ran them had a passion for their jobs, for good music and for their communities. Broadcasts were live—happening right now, in your face, with no post-production to save you. It was raw, real, and exciting. They threw concerts, had call-ins and ticket giveaways. Most of them supported and promoted local artists, which is how we got started doing this in the first place.
Now, your typical commercial station is an unstaffed equipment closet serving as a junction point between a remote network feed and a transmitter. Shows are essentially playlists with station IDs sprinkled in, and never-ending commercials that drive you to turn it off altogether.
We’re here to build modern online tools so that new generations can experience what it’s like to fall in love with the spirit of radio.
Our mobile app is a transmitter and receiver of your local music scene. You can use it to broadcast your live performances, interviews and promotions of an upcoming events. We’re a social network in the way of gathering local music communities of all shapes and sizes together, from all around the world. We emphasize live broadcasting of original content, which is recorded and available for later enjoyment. We use the Creative Commons family of licenses as we build a new artist support ecosystem based on generosity, community, open collaboration and sharing.
So what do we want from you? We want you to broadcast live, original, local music to your community so they can hear what’s happening around them, discover their next favorite artist and get to their next show. We also want your support so we can complete our next goals to make this all possible!
