This is likely to be a MAJOR turning point in the history, development and evolution of the Surf Music community! This is not just a low-fi mp3 player shuffling a few Surf albums in between incredibly annoying and overplayed commercials!!! This is 100% custom-programmed and hand-selected Surf Music--the best of the best--literally, thousands of songs chosen by people that really knows their stuff and are incredibly passionate about it--Niels Jansen and Eddy Luca!
Of course, everyone is already familiar with Niels from his exceptional work with The Phantom Four and The North Sea Surf Festival, among other endeavors like his impeccable DJing.

Please take a moment and really look through the new site and all of the amazing things North Sea Surf Radio has to offer!

• Commercial free Surf Music, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

• 7 specially prepared weekly shows exclusive to North Sea Surf Radio presenting Surf from a specific global perspective by some of the most respected folks in the community...Django Deadman (Los Fantasticos), Fernando Pardo (Los Coronas), Caleb Pilgrim (Lost Acapulco), Lorenzo Surfer Joe, Mike Surf (Green Cookie Records), Phantom AKA Niels (The Phantom Four), and Jonpaul (Insect Surfers, The Tikiyaki Orchestra)

• Professional website, high-quality player that works with any device, featured tracks, new adds, exclusives, classic highlights, special premiums for donations, station ids, and so much more!

• Extremely specialized playlists! Just check out the "Timetable" and the descriptions below it for a mind-blowing array of pure, concentrated themed Surf! For example: Surf from 2000 till today, Surf from Europe, Classic covers, Horror Surf, Heavy and Uptempo, World Music influenced Surf, Latin influenced Surf, Live Surf, Arab influenced Surf, and so much more!

HUGE thanks and props to Niels for this labor of love and seeing it through to becoming a reality! We are all so fortunate to have it!

No offense to Ariel,
But I would have liked the first post of the thread
To be more like Jonpaul's post.
I'm no great writer myself, so I can't criticize too much.

As for the station.
I've listened for about 4 hours.
Omg omg omg.
This is the future of surf radio.

As for those who won't listen because it's not
A flac or lossless feed. Get over it.
The pure amount of new stuff I've never heard,
Or songs not heard in a long long time is surely worth it.
Grow up, and just click the listen button.
And maybe if enough people donate.
There could be a high res feed.

BTD, no offense taken, I would have liked that as well... I just posted it as soon as I got their promo e-mail and wanted to pass it on to the community. This topic deserves more than my half-assed broken English compliments, even though they are sincere .

When venerable Niels will start telling his story about North Sea Surf Radio, then surely that will become the official thread.

Thank you Niels!
Praises for this amazing project! I imagine how it can open so many doors, to new and old bands... You filled a much needed hole. The whole package looks and sounds fantastic, a true work of love. This is the ultimate radio we've been all waiting for, and it's just the beginning...

Had it on for about 2-3 hours, and heard an amazing selection. ("Yang Bu" was on there! I mean WOW!) Running out of adjectives... based on Niels' post, we might have to refer to this as herculean.

Fantastic !!

So far I've only listened via iOS devices and Safari does not support Flash. I'm assuming only the browser Flash plug-in indicates what band and song are being played, correct ? Also I don't think I've ever paid more attention to what time it is in Central Europe, haha.

Thank you for all of your tremendous efforts on this.
