Radio Patapoe: live radio uit Amsterdam

Eeeven...

De naald wordt afgestoft…

Radio Patapoe

Censors never found the address.

Free radio for one neighbourhood and the world.

Patapoe came out of Amsterdam's squatted free-radio movement, the one De Vrije Keyser started from an occupied building in 1979 and Radio 100 carried on from the mid-eighties. It began life as a punk station called Radio Dood before becoming the third of the city's platforms for free radio makers, and it runs on the same terms: no commercial interest at all, and no gatekeeper deciding who gets an hour on air. Broadcasts stay up for a fortnight and then go to the Internet Archive.

Formula Indie fills the early hours every day of the week. Feddo's psychedelic show runs long off the back of Alchemy's space-rock archive, late action plays garage, freakbeat and punk from wherever it can find them, and club pata gives the dancefloor a night of its own. OCCII concert recordings arrive without warning, and anyone who wants to broadcast is handed the instructions.
