Has anything replaced East Village Radio?

August 21, 2014 3:48 AM

I've been trying to find a replacement for East Village Radio, or some sort of equivalent. Soundcloud and Spotify don't cut it as it requires too much effort curating what I want to listen. Red Bull Music Academy is close, but is too festival/house without a lot of diversity. I'm following a few EVR shows that have migrated to other platforms (Chances with Wolves, Delancey Music Service), but ideally I'd like an app that just plays good music. Awhile back I listened to a left bank French music station that was alright, but I forgot the name and at the time it had a pretty mediocre flash player. This was a legit station however, with ads, I didn't mind it. Any suggestions would be great!

Response by poster: Radio Nova! Thanks, too bad the player hasn't been updated.

No love for WFMU? I think their app is fab - never had a problem with it. No ads - free form programming. There was just a post on the blue about Downtown Soulville's 20th anniversary. Without the Woof Moo I wouldn't get through a work day.

Yeah. I'd recommend WFMU or a couple of college radio stations. Lots of them have apps or streams. I know a couple of EVR DJs got their start in college radio.

(I'm a college radio DJ though. I'm always championing the format.)
