About This Station

**Old Skool Rave Tapes** is a free, 24/7 online radio station dedicated to preserving the sound, energy and history of the original UK rave scene. Broadcasting in English from the United Kingdom, its playlist spans old skool rave, hardcore, jungle and early drum & bass, drawn from live sets, studio mixes and pirate radio shows. Beyond the usual anthems, the station digs into underground sets, forgotten tracks and lesser-aired sounds, with audio cleaned up, speed-corrected, spliced into full sets and matched with original flyers or artwork where possible. Listeners can tune in via the website player, a free mobile app for Android and iPhone, an Alexa skill (“Alexa, launch rave tapes”), or selected third-party radio directories. The station is fully licensed through PPL and PRS, and the crew behind it also run free vinyl-only parties in small club spaces, focused on the same under-represented sounds that drive the broadcast.
