Rock Unites w/Dance!

Yes we have heard everywhere it seems Trance fusing with Rock...

 

 but now! since May 2 2012 in Connecticut:


 My favorite alternative rock station changed... for Saturday nights midnight to 2am. DJ Darth Fader's radio show, Digital Takeover is featuring dance remixes of familiar favorites. He has a bit of everything for everyone in the techno world. He played a reggae type dub step that morphed into a sound similar to Swedish House Mafia, as well as some Daft Punk favorites. Its a fusion a different styles from across the spectrum he's calling it dub-step/dance/classic electro.  He's mixing his sound with... yes, Nirvana, The Beastie Boys, and Cold Play's "Paradise".  Sounds very unfamiliar for the Trance Family ear.

This station based out of Hartford, CT, is known for its great selection of music from Alternative Rock, this station has always had a great ear in what they play. I have been a faithful listener for years, since it went on the air, off the air, relived online and back on mainstream air again.  They have massive amount of coverage for the area.  And honestly, just visiting CT would be a sad place without THAT station, I know I had to do it when they were in hiatus, not a good time at all.

Their night time shows usually feature new up and coming indie sounds and other songs and artists that hadn't quite become fully known yet, you would usually hear it there before anywhere. I remember hearing one song I loved, I didn't hear on the radio again until it popped up a year later on one of my stations back at home in NY, playing like it just came out. They defiantly keep up and are constantly  on the look for the next big thing without ever forgetting the old classics and the not so heard of, old great songs. They keep the old greats alive by playing them like they were only a year old. I was really pleased and surprised that I heard some interesting trance beats coming out of this great old station.

 Here you can listen to Radio 104 Online anywhere:
