Galaxy started out as Kiss FM, an offshoot (I seem to remember) of Kiss down in London. It was then sold to some media giant, whose name I forget, and immediately the quality nosedived, becoming far more commercial. The funny thing is, just before Kiss aired, there were three pirate stations I could tune-in to: the excellent Foulmouth FM, Dance FM (which was a bit commercial during the day but came alive at night, and Joy FM, which tended more towards US garage/vocal house. They were all good, and I miss them terribly. I remember a storming set by the Propellorheads sometime over Christmas ’96 just before they all went off air and Kiss started. I presume this was deliberate sabotage by the powers that be so that the newly licensed Kiss could broadcast without competition.
Foulmouth was absolutely banging techno most of the time.
I’d love to know if any of the guys are still spreading the vibe. Before the tuner broke, I wasn’t able to get any pirates up here. Do you think I may have some joy with a digital radio?
Brings tears to my ears just writing about those stations.

Hey mate – Foulmouth FM – was the station a couple of my mates set up back in sheffield in late 1994 – we started out with just 5 of us DJ’ing with mixtapes playing through the night to keep it 24 hour ! The original crew was Deedah Tel, The Astronomer, The Chocolate Eclair, DJ Dome and DJ TinTin !!! plus various guests and hangers on – within a year we had a full rota of DJ’s queing up to play – did a few fundraisers down at the everyones centre on broadfield road – keeping one step ahead of the DTI by regularly changing studio location etc ….. those were the days – listen or it’s yer legs !!

not much on in swansea – monkey cafe has few good nites but early finish. not much in cardiff either so its usually trips to bristol for allnighters.
used to be tons of free parties happening when i lived up sheffield – nottingham derby leicester rigs etc.
i’m into acid techno – breaks – bit of d n b – psy trance if its banging enough ! old skool hardcore – dub so most stuff really as long as its underground and not cheese !
let me know of any parties, club nites, festies etc in or near south wales/west area – most grateful.
