This is mastermix dot org


It focuses on the mid-1980s London soul radio stations which introduced the mastermix genre to the UK. The sounds on this site are predominantly taken from FM pirate broadcasts, recorded to cassette. Often the recordings suffer from interference, drop outs, print-through and occasional 'record button' accidents. But generally they have a warm, authentic quality to them. Browse through the Mixes links on the menu. You can also find station idents, jingles and adverts from back in the day. I'm also building up a collection of pirate stickers, documents, t-shirts and other Memorabilia. For info about the radio stations see the Station Information page. Finally, when I have some time I'll add a Forum so you can add your own memories.
