Are You Down With the 'Revolution'?

Hey, so I don't know about you guys but I am not too big on radio. Not the concept of radio, but regular FM radio. It's too repetitive and has way too many commercials. NPR is always good I suppose. :) But I listen to satellite myself, SiriusXM all the way! Whatever you are into, more power to ya, but I say if you ever have the chance, check out satellite radio. I like it because it has a greater variety and is completely devoid of advertising and commercials. A lot of the newer genres and artists I have been introduced recently have come from satellite. To put it lightly, it broadens your horizons. One of the stations that I have always listened to fairly regularly was channel 52 Electric Area. They have always played a nice mix of new and old electronic and house music along with a little more of the heavier, more underground sound of genres like EDM, dubstep, trap, and trance. This is certainly up my alley, but does not appeal to everyone I realize.

Recently though, channel 52 has undergone a slight transformation. It has turned from Electric Area into Diplo's Revolution Radio. Now Diplo, for those of you that know, is one of the leading music producers in the industry and has been for a long time. He has certainly established himself as a guiding force in the electronic music scene and as a seeker of perfected sound on a global scale. The channel has a fairly worldly vibe to it, which is not too far off from what Electric Area put out. The channel overall has mostly the same feel to it as it has always had under the moniker of Electric Area, most people would probably be hard pressed to note too much of a mood shift for the channel and the genre focus remains practically the same. There is a slight difference in the tone and flow of the channel though if you ask me. Slightly more of a focus on trap. Which is not a bad thing for sure. Just something worth pointing out. I'm certainly still gonna listen to the channel. Diplo never done me no wrong! And even if he had, its still Electric Area through and through as far as I'm concerned!

Hopefully I get my wish. I have been looking for the proper platform to launch a freeform radio station for a while now, and I am pushing right now for this to be it. So maybe someday my dreams will come to fruition and you will see this site inherit its own internet radio station. Who knows? Only time will tell.

If you guys wanna check out the channel you can do so here or read about it on Wikipedia. And remember, episode 002 of From Behind the Bureau drops tomorrow! Til then, stay frosty.
