ATOMIC FM is an independent internet and FM radio station that plays 80s, 90s and 2000s classics, hip-hop, house, vaporwave, electronic, underground music and more.
Running 24 hours a day on hardware we own and pay for. No ads, no algorithm, no account needed, nothing tracked. The rotation shifts through the day, louder in the morning, calmer and stranger through the afternoon, mixed all evening, electronic through the small hours.

Requests are open, see the Request tab. Anything you'd like added that isn't in the library, send it the same way.
Privacy policy
Last updated 9 September 2026
ATOMIC FM does not want your data. There is no account to make, no newsletter, no advertising network, no analytics package and no tracking pixel anywhere on this site. What follows is a plain description of the only places information moves at all.
What stays in your browser
Your settings, theme, volume, scanlines, animation, lyrics on/off, tuning sound and
the lyrics timing offset, are saved with localStorage under keys
beginning atomicfm.. They live in your browser on your device. They are never
transmitted to the station, to us, or to anyone else, and we cannot read them. Clearing
your site data removes them and the page returns to defaults.
This site sets no cookies of its own.
What happens when you press play
Pressing play opens a direct connection from your device to the station server at
atomicfm.duckdns.org. Like any web server, it can see your IP address, the
time you connected, how long you stayed and your browser's user-agent string. That is
how a listener count exists at all. We use it in aggregate, the number on this page
is simply how many connections are open. We do not build listener profiles and we do not
sell, share or publish any of it.
When you request a song
Requesting a track from the library sends that request to the station server, which records it so it can enforce the gap between requests and stop one person flooding the queue. That record includes your IP address and the track requested.
When you send a suggestion
The "ask for something we don't have" form is handled by Netlify Forms and emailed to the station owner. Whatever you type is what gets sent: the songs, and your name and email address only if you choose to fill those in. Both are optional and the form works without them. The submission is stored in the station's Netlify account and in the owner's mailbox until deleted. Ask and it will be deleted.
If your browser can't reach the form, the page falls back to opening your own email client with the message pre-filled. In that case nothing is sent until you press send yourself, and it goes straight to the station's mailbox.
Third parties this page touches
- Netlify
- Hosts this website and handles the suggestion form. As the host it sees the IP address of everyone who loads the page.
- The station server (atomicfm.duckdns.org)
- Serves the audio stream, the now-playing data, the recent-tracks list and the album artwork. Runs AzuraCast and Icecast on hardware the station owns.
- LRCLIB (lrclib.net)
- Looks up lyrics for whatever is currently on air. The request contains the artist, title, album and duration of the song, nothing about you beyond the unavoidable fact that your browser made the request, which means they see your IP. Turn Lyrics off in settings and this request never happens.
- Google Fonts
- Serves the two typefaces this page uses. Google receives your IP address as part of that request. Nothing else is sent.
The micro buttons on this page are plain links to the projects the station is built on. They are not served by an ad network, they carry no tracking, and nobody is paid for them.
Children
This site is not directed at children and collects nothing that would identify anyone, of any age, beyond the server logs described above.
Your choices
- Turn Lyrics off to stop the LRCLIB lookups entirely.
- Clear your browser's site data to wipe every saved setting.
- Use the direct stream link in your own player to skip this page altogether.
- Email the station to have a suggestion, or an email you sent, deleted.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions about anything here, or a request to delete something, go to the station by email , use this link.
This is a plain-language notice about a hobby radio station, written to be accurate rather than to satisfy any particular jurisdiction. It is not legal advice.

The music
Every recording aired on ATOMIC FM remains the property of its respective artists, songwriters, performers, producers, labels and rights holders. ATOMIC FM is a non-commercial hobby broadcast. It claims no ownership of, and no rights to, any recording it plays. Nothing here is offered for download, and the stream is provided for listening only.
Takedown, the short version
If you hold rights to something played here and you want it gone, email the station and it will be pulled from rotation. There is no argument, no form to complete and no waiting on a legal process. It comes off the air.
It helps if your message includes:
- the artist and track title as they appear on this site;
- who you are and what right you hold, or who you represent;
- whether you want a single track removed or everything by that artist.
Artwork
Album artwork shown on this page is read from the metadata embedded in the station's own audio files and served from the station's server. It belongs to the labels and artists who created it, and is shown only to identify what is currently playing. It is covered by the same takedown promise above.
Lyrics
Lyrics are fetched live from LRCLIB, a community-maintained database, and are displayed only while the matching track is on air. They are never stored by this site. Rights in the underlying lyrics belong to their writers and publishers. Turn the Lyrics option off in settings if you would rather the page not fetch them at all.
This website
The design, layout, code and the trefoil mark on this page were made for ATOMIC FM and belong to the station. The two typefaces are Anton and VT323, both served by Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License.
