best drum & bass station out there?

Post by drumandbasshead010 » Sun Sep 20, 2015 3:09 am

OK so we all know that pirate radio is where drum & bass was formed, advertised and heard. Therefore, I'm sure we can all agree that D&B and the rave scene in general would not be what it is now without it. My question is: What, in your opinion, is the best D&B station online or on FM right now? *Doesn't have to be strictly pirate.)

Well going by what you've just said etc it's obviously going to be Kool FM 94.5/94.6

depends on what style your into. online, www.di.fm have a couple of d&b channels.. liquid, dark, and just d&b. they also have a jungle channel if that interests you. their sister network, www.FrescaRadio.com have a Sambass channel which is latin and similar influenced d&b. www.rudefm.com (formerly 88.2 unless they have come back on since) play the darker stuff also.

Note: Not only focusing on promotion, but on professionalism, content, variety, DJS etc. Personally, I don't care much for these stations which rely mostly solely on computer-generated playlists and stuff. I'm into the stations that cover all styles, from oldskool to the new dubplates.

Well you mentioned how drum and bass was formed etc and without any question of a doubt Kool FM played a massive part into the development of the Jungle/DnB scene. I don't care what anyone else says.

Kool would have to be my favourite honestly. Playing all the styles, advertising only the UK's best raves, and also playing fresh new sounds while still playing the 90's classics. 70% of their content is live, and no autoplay going on through the day. Yep, Kool are the best out there.
