About

Sydhavnsbølgen is a community radio station started in October 2023, at Frontløberne in Åårhus, where we have a studio, a performance venue, and a part-time station manager.  
All shows are produced by volunteers.
The station's aim is to make the city feel a little smaller by broadcasting your friends' voices on the radio, and the voices of those who might soon become your friends.

  • Sydhavnsbølgen's purpose is to broadcast member's sounds on the radio
  • The station emphasizes quality in approach and authenticity in expression.
  • The administration's role is to ensure that member's access to the air is as easy as possible
  • The station prioritizes sounds that are made by and speak to a diverse and pluralistic group of people, with a focus on Aarhusian emerging / youth culture and voices that are underrepresented on the radio

Legal

As of 23/2/2024, we're in dialogue with KODA and Gramex to get the proper licenses in place for making sure musicians get paid for the music that we play.
