UBFM: live radio from Moscow

Hooold...

Dusting off the needle…

UBFM

Loud opinions, louder kicks.

Tech house and electro with the conflicts left in.

UBFM went on air in 2024 as the first media arm of Orange Brain, a Moscow event-consulting outfit that also runs a DJ school, a label and a booking desk. Michael Ditis and Lena Bortnik produce the station, and both take shifts on air themselves — his Money House and her BEE YOURSELF. The stated editorial line is club and rave coverage put through a prism of protest and irony, uncensored, with the conflicts left in rather than edited out. The beat runs across clubs, festivals and dancefloors in Russia and abroad.

The rest of the grid belongs to resident DJs working a narrow strip of dance music: Lily Star's Tech House Time, Mary Cat's Techno Cat Show, Trisa on Electro Musical, Stas Panimot's Owl Stories, DJ IDIM with Chronosphere, and M.A.N.I.L.A. among the regulars. Between the shows the stream keeps to the same lane — tech house, electro and club tracks, and no talk.
