• The final words from East and Susie, last few minutes of the real Kool FM

I had to lock in via the Rinse slot on DAB. The Kool stream is now working for me via the Rinse website also but took around 20 mins or so to get it up.

I think it's working now on simple radio

What a fail. It was never this difficult on 94.6

Gee just mentioned on-air that they've had to double the bandwidth for the stream.

They are using the same mobile number as Kool London used and I've noticed the app on Google Play has changed its name to Underground Bass. On the radio app I use, Kool LDN preset has vanished and Underground Bass has taken its place. I've also heard a DJ from Toronto and one from NY later in the night. Make of that what you will.
There seems to be quite a few DJS that have jumped from Eruption to UGB too, Sarge, Infinity, cant remember the other few right now. Heard Episode is leaving and joining UGB too.
I haven't listened to Eruption for quite a while now, how are they doing these days? are they still on FM?

Talking about your own station like you have heard this and heard that is quite pathetic Oldskool, are you that desperate that you think slyly promoting your station on radionecks is the way forward!! Remember this Damien your station is the rejects!! the DJ’s that neither kool or Eruption wanted!! You should have called it Kurruption FM

, copying hashtags, ringing up Dj’s jumping on the back of others work your a parasite!!

It seems Jay Cunning's show on Underground Bass is his podcast show with him doing guest mixes for Kool, but no regular slot.

Eastman is on Kool this Sunday from 10am-noon.

Rinse have done Kool proud and the fact 94.6 continues is all the better. Is Kool available on Google nest devices?

Rinse have fucked Kool, to take a radio brand like that not even give it its own website/FM/DAB platform is a pisstake, if you look all the DJ’s say listen via Rinse FM and then hashtag Kool FM WTF. Rinse has been on a downward spiral for a while he has bought Kool purely to advertise Rinse!! Rinsing every bit of credibility that kool once had, if he loved Kool as much as he says he does he would made it its own radio station not some sort subsidiary of an old sold out pirate, it horrible watching a station that was once an institution being used as a cash cow! Listen to kool via rinse tells you all you need to know. RIP Kool FM & more importantly Kool London

For me it is about the music and as a listener Kool at the moment is better than it was in November 2022. Rinse need to give them decent bandwith - I couldn't even get a stream on Friday from a work desktop - but other than that the station is clearly smashing it. Having said that the playlist times when DJ's arent on line contains way too much shitty dubstep which is pretty much a dead genre.

The main gripes I have with the new "Rinse Kool" is that some sets are only an hour. Jerome Hill for example should have at least two hours instead of the second hour being the playlist.

On Saturday, they only had one live set and then stuck on archives or the playlist for the rest of the day.

As said above, I think the main thing is about the music and the format. There are stations that are playing garbage over multiple platforms, so not overly focused on that element

Having said that I also agree that it should have its own standalone site.

Early days, will be interesting to see where it is by the end of the year. Love their new studio, the last one looked like a kids party venue

looks like kool has no future to me. you carnt have a station with a name like kool london, streaming half the original dj mcs on rinse, simple. never thought kool would have came to this tbh. its sounds to me rinse have lost it. kool ldn need its own fm - or dab freq;;; not good;

Posted: **Tue May 02, 2023 10:13 pm**

Locked on to Uno at the moment who is live, but he's only on for an hour.

I think it’s more than likely going to do extremely well for its self as Kool, as is the spin off station with some of the ex Kool djs . It’s all exciting stuff , for us as listeners. Even more to choose from . The best of the best on Kool and that original pirate vibe on 946 . Can’t go wrong really.
As for Rinse , let’s face it , they haven’t done bad as a pirate or legal. Pretty sure they shared blocks with Kool back in the day .

Some very positive stuff these days in 2023

As good as Audials is, it can be tempramental with certain stream URL's for absolutely no reason at all & just won't wanna play them! My suggestion is try VRadio as Kool's stream 100% works perfectly on there.
