About Us
LionafriQ Radio is a Kenyan promotional (non-commercial) online radio, built, ran and managed by Electronic Dance Music (EDM) enthusiasts. The radio is built to offer an ecstatic musical experience, shying away from the mainstream music scene. We dig deep for a specific bar of quality music from Africa and beyond. Playlists are mainly made of EDM, sub-genres House Music, Chillstep, Drum and Bass, Electronic, Dance, Trance, Trap, Dubstep, Reggaestep/Dub, Moombahton etc. However, LionafriQ Radio may occasionally deviate from these genres for irresistible music.
Conceived in 2016, in the humble comforts of a campus hostel, this radio was set up to step in and showcase quality music from DIY music producers, commonly referred to as ‘Bedroom Producers.’ Often stumbling upon good music from local artists but identifying no platform to contain such it led to LionafriQ’s Conception. To date, LionafriQ stands on this very foundation and notably, this is now home to thousands of remixes, bootlegs, edits and original releases. Proudly, we are home to much more good music that we initially dreamed.
Avenues
On top of our web radio platform, LionafriQ provides its followers with scene updates, artists’ interviews and music playlists, ensuring we remain true to the culture. We’ve also accommodated music sharing on platforms such as Soundcloud and YouTube channel, where we curate playlists, engage artists and/or post new releases every now and then. We’ll expand to new platforms whenever we see the need.
Please Note that Our YouTube Channel posts music that is (1) submitted to LionafriQ Radio with permission (2) Not submitted but shared with permission or (2) Shareable free music (creative commons) which may include remixes.
Any artist, however, with a problem with the use of their music on our channel or platform should alert us though our contact page as soon as possible and we’ll remove it across the board.
Music Sources
To ensure the quality and legitimacy of music, LionafriQ Radio gets its music from three main sources:
1. Direct Submissions through our submission page. This is the most available means for anyone to make a submission. Kindly ensure you follow the procedure stipulated. Once received, we evaluate the track and give feedback accordingly. We strive to respond to all emails but sometimes this may take a while.
2. Direct Submissions through our email address from subscribed individuals and entities such as record labels. Over time, just like most social beings, we create friends who occasionally plug us with music. We may provide them access to cloud folders or the vice versa. These friends include entities such as record labels, who provide us with music in bulk, or artists sending us albums or EPs. Most of these tracks already pass our requirements and only need a quick final check before being added to our playlists.
3. From direct downloads from credible music publishing tools. Music publishing sites bridge the gap between releases and access to music. We may get music from these sources. Artists who provide direct links to their music fall under this category.
Management
All aspects of LionafriQ Radio are run by a small team of music enthusiasts who do not mind devoting available time and resources to manage this platform. This team handles both the front-end (website postings, playlist curation, branding, social media, management, etc) and back-end (website and radio server management, music updates, contact gathering, IT, etc) aspects of the platforms.
To ensure an ethical platform, LionafriQ has by all means kept its website and social media pages free from targeted ads which may lower user experience. LionafriQ Radio does not seek any monetary advantage to post releases or feature artists. Without many conventional revenue-generating avenues in today’s wide wide web, a question of how this platforms is financially managed arises.
The LionafriQ Team handles all that. Since expenses are often incurred, we may occasionally have merchandise such as apparel, music products among others for sale to help cater for server and website maintenance bills. These materials are made by us and would go a great way to help run this platform.
Additionally, while not required, Paypal Donations can be made via this link.
