laut.fm – Ostblock/Westblock

The web radio station Ostblock/Westblock is part of the laut.fm platform and follows a broad-ranging concept that breaks down musical boundaries between East and West. The programme relies on a deliberate mix of different decades and styles, with the focus on songs that have stood the test of time. The rotation features artists such as Depeche Mode, Oasis or OMD alongside German acts such as Die Conditors. Surprises such as tracks by Stefanie Hertel also belong to the station’s repertoire, underlining the musical range of the stream.

The show Rotation forms a central element of the daily schedule and ensures the selection of tracks. Technically, the station can be received via the common interfaces of laut.fm, such as the smartphone app, smart speakers like Alexa or directly through the browser. Listeners can also access an archive that includes current chart successes such as Eminem as well as classics by Talk Talk or Black. Since laut.fm operates as a user-generated platform, Ostblock/Westblock offers a specific curated selection that moves away from the usual format radio standards.
