Are you one of those people who loves to take out their mp3 player, press shuffle, and see where your library takes you? Well if you are, then you'll probably love Atlantic Sound Factory, a station that never ceases to be fascinatingly random and varied. As ASF says on their website, everything from the 1970s onward is fair game, and they mean it. Imagine taking a little slice of every station in the SHOUTcast Radio Directory, putting them all in a blender, and letting 'er rip. The music puree that would come out would be Atlantic Sound Factory. Though they do put geographic limits on the scope of their playlists by restricting themselves to US and UK recordings, the DJs at ASF clearly have an incomprehensibly deep music knowledge, and they don't mind putting it on full display.
You can find Atlantic Sound Factory in the 70s genre of the SHOUTcast Radio Directory.
We got our own blender out and fixed ourselves an Atlantic Sound Factory smoothie, and here's what it tasted like:

2. I heartily agree that ASFRadio is one of the best stations out there! Between the mix of songs that keeps you entertained throughout the week, the Friday listener requests and the great Supporter Weeks, we have not changed the "dial" on our office music in years! John keeps the music fresh as well as continually updating the website with new features.
If you've been looking for a station that doesn't play the same songs over and over, this is THE ONE!

3. I checked my pay pal records and my first donation was Feb 9, 2006. I found ASF on itunes and have been a supporter ever since. You can hear Johns music at my tiki bar outside, on my porch/ hot tub, in my living room, and in my garage/workshop. Now I have to find a way to listen to ASF in my vehicle.
The best music mix!

4. I be now with ASFRadio since Jan 28, 2006 and from this date on the station has become an inherent part of my daily live. Especially on Saturdays I enjoy the to be "on the show" with ASF. I'm very proud too that I could help John a little bit to meet that high quality of sound and the variety that ASF offers. Check it out!
"It's all about the music"!
peace
