PinQradio: live radio uit Amsterdam

Eeeven...

De naald wordt afgestoft…

PinQradio

Amsterdam's fabulous night shift.

Vinyl-only disco and dub from a volunteer crew.

Puck Verdoes started PinQradio to hand people a show — known names and complete unknowns alike — and runs it with Sander Stenger, who DJs as Rauw, and about ten others. Nothing is sold and nobody is paid; it calls itself a fun project, it broadcasts from a queer perspective, and it has been a fixture of Amsterdam's queer underground for years now. Live shows go out on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and the archive covers the days in between.

Freek on Thursday runs the most hours by a distance, Radio Discoteca and Schobbejak Discoteca work the party end, Radio Almeida leans tropical, Pot Luck and Muzikale Kliekjes take whatever is left in the crate, and Joss & Flo bring the reggae across from their other station. Dolly Parton turns up more than once, and so do the divas and the 7-inch singles.
