XVIBE

Read full description

Radio XVIBE to nowe spojrzenie na radio internetowe. Połączyliśmy elementy popularnego za oceanem formatu radiowego, charakteryzującego się dużą bazą muzyki z ostatnich 5 dekad, z naszymi pomysłami. Dodaliśmy do siebie charakter amerykańskiego Jacka, polski vibe i nostalgię pokolenia X. Usłyszysz zatem przeboje z lat 80 i 90, jak i te z ostatniego tygodnia. Jesteśmy jak kaseta wujka Mariana, pożyczona na sobotnią domówkę. Nie wiesz czym Cię zaskoczy. Tak też jest z naszymi playlistami. Gramy co chcemy!. Gramy, bo możemy!. Ten chaos to jednak złudzenie. Codziennie pracujemy aby te playlisty było jak najlepiej skompilowane i nieustannie Was zaskakiwały.
