Last updated: 8 September 2026

About the station
What is DJ Radio Dubai? DJ Radio Dubai is Dubai's first DJ radio station: 24 hours a day of electronic music and hand-picked DJ mixes, streamed from Dubai to the world. No talk breaks, no filler — just seamless sets.
What kind of music do you play? Deep House, House, Afro House, Techno and Progressive. Our programming moves with the hours of the day: warm and melodic in the morning, deeper and darker after midnight.
Who is behind the music? Our Resident DJ and Head of Music is DJ Madness — a Swiss pioneer of electronic music with almost four decades behind the decks, founder of the Delirium party label and of Switzerland's first techno record label. He is responsible for the station's music selection and programming direction.
Do you play local artists? Yes. We are a platform for international names and local talent in equal measure. If you produce or mix, we want to hear you — see the Artists section below.

Which track is playing right now? Track information is displayed in the player where the metadata is available. For full tracklists of a specific show or mix, follow us on Instagram @djradiodubai or write to us.

The stream keeps cutting out. What can I do? Try these in order:

• refresh the page or restart the app

• switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi, or the other way round

• clear your browser cache, or try a different browser

• disable ad blockers and VPNs, which sometimes interfere with the audio stream

• check whether your firewall or corporate network blocks streaming ports

If the problem persists, tell us your device, browser and country at INFO@DJRADIODUBAI.AE and we will look into it.

For DJs and artists
Can I submit a mix or a demo? Yes, and we would love to hear it. Send a private streaming link (SoundCloud, Dropbox, WeTransfer) to INFO@DJRADIODUBAI.AE with:

• your artist name and a short bio (max. 150 words)

• genre and BPM range

• length of the mix

• a tracklist

• your social media and booking links

• a press photo in high resolution
   

What are the technical requirements? 320 kbps MP3 or WAV, properly mastered, no dead air at the start or end, no voice-overs from other stations. Mixes are typically 60 minutes.

Do you pay for mixes? Unsolicited submissions are not paid. In return you receive airtime, promotion across our channels and full artist credit. Paid residencies and commissioned shows are agreed individually.

Who owns the rights to my mix? You do. By submitting, you grant us permission to broadcast and promote it — you keep ownership. You can ask us to remove it from future programming at any time with 30 days' notice. The full wording is in our Terms of Service.
How long until I hear back? We review submissions in batches. If your mix fits the station, we usually respond within four weeks. Given the volume we receive, we cannot reply to every submission.

Can I become a resident? Residencies open up occasionally. Send us your best work, stay consistent, and we will notice.

Rights and usage
Can I use your stream in my bar, shop or gym? Not without written permission. Public performance requires separate music licensing, which our broadcast licence does not cover for you. Contact us and we will discuss what is possible.
Can I record the stream, or use a mix in my own video? No. Recording, re-broadcasting and redistributing the stream is not permitted. For any commercial or synchronisation use, contact the respective rights holders and, for our own productions, contact us directly.
Can I embed your player on my website? Only with our written consent. Get in touch — we are usually happy to say yes to the right partners.
Partnerships and advertising

Do you offer advertising or sponsorship? Yes. We offer audio spots, show sponsorships, event partnerships and branded content. Write to INFO@DJRADIODUBAI.AE with your brand, target audience and campaign period, and we will send you our media kit.
Do you cover events? We work with clubs, festivals and promoters on live recordings, event mixes and cross-promotion. Tell us about your event and we will find the right format.

Newsletter and contact
What do I get if I subscribe? Station news, new show announcements, guest mix releases and event invitations. Usually once or twice a month — we do not spam.
How do I unsubscribe? Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any newsletter. It takes effect immediately.

How do you handle my data? See our Privacy Policy. Short version: we collect only what we need, we never sell your data, and you can have it deleted at any time.
