Our specialty is taking a diverse assortment of songs and making them flow together in a way that makes sense harmonically, rhythmically, and lyrically an art that, to us, is the very essence of radio. The mix always includes a carefully-selected assortment of new songs & artists, many of which you won't hear anywhere else. You'll hear modern and classic rock, world music, electronica, even a bit of classical and jazz - with no random computer-generated playlists, needless chatter, or commercials. There's nothing else that's quite like it.

Radio Paradise is a unique blend of many styles and genres of music, carefully selected and mixed by two real human beings - enhanced by a dazzling photo slideshow, tied in thematically with the songs that are playing.
