Radio Deep Underground: live radio from Amsterdam

Hooold...

Dusting off the needle…

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Radio Deep Underground

Patreon-funded, ad-allergic.

Soulful deep house, one human picking every record.

On air since 2017 with a rule it has not bent: nothing is played unless an independent label put it out, and every track is auditioned on production quality and composition before it reaches the rotation. That narrows the field a great deal, which is the point — the station calls itself the global home of underground house, and it means the part of it that never reaches commercial radio. The clock on its front page keeps Amsterdam time, though the licences are French, through SACEM and SPRE.

The mix sits in deep, organic and soulful house with a tribal edge, built for the hours after midnight rather than for a dancefloor. The producers in rotation come off small independent labels from across Europe and beyond, none of them names a commercial station would ever reach for. The weekly Saturday Mix gathers the same sound into one long session.
