laut.fm – The Avalanches Radio

The Avalanches Radio is a web stream from the provider laut.fm that focuses on dance music, with an emphasis on sample collages, funky breaks and nu-disco. According to the station’s website, acts such as The Avalanches, Bonobo, Boards Of Canada, The Go! Team and DJ Shadow are at the centre of the programme; Beck and the Beastie Boys are also named as related acts. The playlist of the last hour shows how broad the approach is: Fatboy Slim, Pizzicato Five, Caribou, Cold Cut, Lemon Jelly and Four Tet alternate there.

The show named as “Rotation” features, among others, Coldcut, Boards Of Canada and Nightmares On Wax. The stream can be received via Alexa, radio.de, phonostar and via an app for Android and iOS, and can be embedded as an MP3, M3U or PLS file. Information on the year of founding, the operator behind the channel and a specific broadcast area is missing from the website; the station is a pure internet stream without an FM frequency.
