Officially launching today, Blast Radio is the only audio platform (no video) where listeners can hear directly from the artists they love, daily. It\u2019s a completely new listening experience where artists have the freedom to broadcast content they may never publish elsewhere with the press of one button.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Broadcasts on Blast Radio are only available for 24 hours. They\u2019re created with a simple piece of hardware, Blast Box. Artists plug any audio equipment into the device with an RCA cable, connect the device to their Blast Radio profile with bluetooth, then press one button to broadcast live on the Blast Radio app.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Listeners follow artists and are notified when they broadcast. They can then tune in live or for 24 hours afterwards, send tips, share broadcasts, and send positive reactions (Vibes).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cOver the last 15 years, I noticed that reality has no place on visual social media platforms. People have been reduced to doctored selfies and public displays of perfection. This is especially challenging for musicians where sound is their secret weapon. Blast Radio gives artists an easy way to reach fans with their actual talents and to do so in an environment that\u2019s not meant to be curated and perfect. It\u2019s a space for artists, to be heard, and to highlight their work, not their appearance,\u201d said Yousef Ali, Founder and CEO, Blast Radio.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More than 150 artists have signed up to use the platform for spontaneous performances, weekly radio shows, album release previews, broadcasting from venues, and more. Artists already connecting with audiences via Blast Radio include Ghostly International founder Matthew Dear, Grammy-nominated composer and legendary Detroit DJ Carl Craig, artist and owner of Klakson and Dolly imprint Steffi, eclectic and prolific Brooklyn based DJ and producer The Juan MacLean, critically acclaimed chamber orchestra Alarm Will Sound, and many, many more. Additional details can be found below.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m always searching for ways to connect with fans. Whether I\u2019m jamming in the studio or playing a DJ set, I need an effortless way to broadcast my music, instantly. Blast Radio has now made that process extremely simple. I just did my first broadcast from Detroit and listened back to the set afterward. I can\u2019t wait to share more live music soon,\u201d said Matthew Dear.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom my start, the music that I create and listen to changes constantly. Music is very personal to me. When I perform music, I feel I\u2019m giving part of me. Sharing is Caring! The beauty is that the artform of being a DJ evolves as I do. Performing live at shows is great but there\u2019s a ton of music that I love that I can\u2019t play because there\u2019s just too much to share on one tour. On Blast Radio, I can broadcast what I care about right now, and do so in an environment built for high resolution audio – where it sounds great, isn\u2019t restricted by low res algorithms, and isn\u2019t competing against a world of curated selfies and cat videos,\u201d said Carl Craig.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

“With so many musicians working together to create music, there’s a lot of evolution that happens even from one rehearsal to the next. In the past, we’ve opened rehearsals to the public and received great feedback from listeners that want to share in the process of our creation. We’re excited to use Blast Radio to give that same experience to more people around the world,” said Alan Pierson, Artistic Director\/Conductor, Alarm Will Sound.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The artists we know and love are creating all the time, but we only get to hear a fraction of that content — what is deemed \u2018on brand\u2019 and worthy of a \u2018final release\u2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On Blast Radio, listeners get an insider view into the creative process. Artists own the relationship with their fans. Listeners now have a simple donation-based platform to hear directly from the artists they love and stream completely fresh content daily.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
