Designed to break the dull stranglehold of commercial radio playlist
culture in the US, BreakThru Radio is a channel collection that
comprises interesting new sounds presented by DJs from the underground
scene: death metal, dancehall, dubstep, hip-hop, indie rock, skronk,
roots country, reggae, electronica, acid jazz, ambient beats, dub,

unlimited access to underground music, twenty-four hours a day, seven
days a week.
In a world where independent music is becoming infinitely more
accessible on the Internet, the need for informed sources to filter out
the best of it has become a necessity. Unfortunately, this wealth of
relevant music simply cannot be found on the graveyard known as
commercial radio. Serious music aficionados are beyond sick and tired
of feeling victimized by the expendable airwaves ejaculated by the old
corporate radio structure. Their frustration, however, is at an end.
“Music for music lovers,” is BTR’s motto, and one that its DJ’s take
very seriously.
BTR offers its listeners unlimited access to underground music,
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, with a daily audience that
includes more than two dozen countries. With its unique on-demand
musical programming and focus on the best in new, independent music,
it’s no surprise the site has well over 1,000,000 listeners daily, the
majority of which are aged 13-24 years old.
BTR is constantly evolving, and 2007 saw the creation of a unique BTR
Facebook application, making it possible for Facebook users to install
a miniature version of BTR’s unique media player upon their personal
pages. Also, independent video coverage was added to BTR, as well as
top-notch editorial content and an intuitive global show calendar.
Plus, BTR’s live musical content experienced immense growth, with
exclusive recordings from Ardent Studios (Memphis, Tennessee), Old
School Studios (Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom) and Dubway Studios
(New York City, New York) becoming part of BTR’s regular show schedule.
In fact, you could say that BTR has taken everything a music fan could
ever need or want, and put it all into one cohesive website, completely
free of charge to is users.
Unlike other radio stations, BTR offers complete on-demand programming;
a first in Internet radio. Listeners can cater to their specific
musical preferences, whatever the genre, and at the same time discover
