In a year where algorithms feel louder than people, a new independent station is cutting through the noise.
ISS Radio has officially launched in Nigeria, an online radio station built from InterSpace Sound System’s years of championing African club culture, underground selectors, and sounds that don’t fit the playlist. It’s radio as cultural infrastructure: a place for scenes to grow, stories to circulate, and music to live outside the grip of data-driven platforms.
From curation to broadcast
InterSpace Sound System started as a DJ mix platform, spotlighting emerging selectors and creating space for African electronic music, global club mutations, and rhythms that rarely touch mainstream channels. ISS Radio is the natural evolution, transforming curation into a living broadcast ecosystem.
Where mixes built bridges, radio builds rooms. Rooms where Afro-club experiments sit beside UK bass weight, where fuji meets footwork, where diaspora selectors and hometown heroes share the same frequency.
Why it matters
Founder Eric Okechukwu frames it simply: “We’re surrounded by platforms optimized for skips and trends. ISS Radio exists for patience, for community, for sounds that need time to land. It’s about giving DJs and collectives a real home, not a temporary spot in an algorithm.”
That philosophy runs through the programming. Deep club selections, experimental electronics, African dance mutations, roots-driven sessions, and diasporic hybrids reflecting the fluid reality of today’s scenes. Some shows are pre-recorded. Others go live. Guest selectors appear alongside emerging DJs who rarely get broadcast opportunities.
A living archive
ISS Radio launches as independent stations worldwide experience a quiet resurgence, grassroots platforms stepping in where traditional media pulled back, offering alternatives to homogenized playlists and pay-to-play visibility.
It’s not chasing scale. It’s building continuity. A cultural archive in motion, preserving underground moments while creating space for what comes next.
As Okechukwu puts it: “We’re not trying to be everything. We’re trying to be meaningful.”
In an era obsessed with reach, ISS Radio is choosing resonance.
ISS Radio is now live.
