Imaginary Radiostation - a non-commercial aggregator of broken beats. We've been streaming since 2011. Music on its nonexisting waves follows two simple rules: it's rhythmically broken and has a steady tempo of 87 (x2) beats per minute. The genre doesn't matter. Of course, it's all streaming live. Tune in every Friday for live broadcasts from various locations around the globe (follow our social media channels to stay updated). Starting in 2022, we've expanded the list of genres and acceptable beat frequencies, but remain true to our fundamentals. Come for a chat in our Telegram channel or on our website. Between live broadcasts, the station provides 24/7 airing of our archive, which has accumulated recordings for over a decade. Listening on office equipment is strictly prohibited - one should use speakers or headphones capable of producing quality bass.
