The first things that might spring to mind whenever you think of the Netherlands are probably any or all of the following: wooden shoes; tulips; windmills; laid back, um, "coffee houses." You'll notice that music--and especially pop music--isn't one of those. But Radio NL is here to change all that. Whereas many international stations nowadays blend in a lot of American or British top 40 hits in their regular playlists, Radio NL sticks to the intra-border basics. You'll find a consistently solid menu full of purely Dutch artists, along with a few specialized DJs and niche programs for the pickier listeners. So if you're looking for the perfect soundtrack to score your next Amsterdam-themed house party, Radio NL might just be what the doctor ordered.
You can find Radio NL in the Nederlands genre of the SHOUTcast Radio Directory.
We brought our laptops to the nearest wi-fi enabled coffee house we could find, and listened to the following tracks on Radio NL:
