Acid City Radio

The web radio Acid City Radio was launched as a private project by Michael Illgen in Püchau, a district of Machern in Saxony. The station is fully dedicated to promoting independent artists and broadcasts an ad-free programme. To support musicians outside the major commercial structures, the project relies on GEMA-free music and direct licences from the respective rights holders.

In addition to the 24-hour live stream, the station operates its own labels under the name Acid City Records on platforms such as Beatport and Traxsource. The offering is specifically aimed at listeners and creatives who often go unheard on mainstream streaming services. In addition to distribution via the web radio and aggregators such as Radio.de, the station maintains a community, including several thousand followers on TikTok.
