Rebel Radio

An independent Jamaican station playing reggae and dancehall with a distinctly roots-leaning selection. Rebel Radio belongs to the large ecosystem of Jamaican internet stations run by selectors and sound-system people — an ecosystem that exists because Jamaica has more music and more people wanting to play it than the licensed FM dial can absorb. The result is programming closer to a sound system set than a commercial playlist, which is precisely why these stations travel so well internationally.
