Making a return and joining the ranks of legal reformed pirates on DAB. Not sure which area(s) yet.

Reformed pirates?

Bit unexpected. I'm sure they've been dead quite a few years and came back briefly under the name Kream FM 104.7 and then dropped off the radar again.
...Good luck to them joining the needles in the giant DAB haystack, if that's the path they want to take.

As long as they stick to their routes and play garage music then they should do alright as it seems all the others like Shine or Centreforce are stuck in this House Music or Rave Trance music. I think it will be good to hear some underground music

I don’t think Kream had anything to do with Subjam ? Just same dial. I was speaking to a Kream dj recently who’s now on Origin

I was always under the impression it was Groove Master behind both of those stations.
....I'm just going by what I heard and in all fairness I'm too far away out of London to receive them when they were both on and only heard them when in London or online

Wonder what areas Subjam will cover on DAB?

I remember subjam didn’t they come off of the Edmonton blocks

They came from the Alma Road blocks in Ponders End. I had to buy a DAB radio to continue listening to XFM as their signal on 104.7 splattered all over 104.9

I had the total opposite problem in South London, I couldn't listen to Subjam as XFM's signal on 104.9 would splatter all over 104.7!!

Weren’t they on the blue and white block on Bounces Road Edmonton for a bit?

I see they did a new post with where they will be covering on dab along with the launch date.

They're going on the commercial Herts, Beds and Bucks DAB mux which covers north London.

Pretty sure your definition of garage isn’t the same as mine from the late 80s early 90s, when people ask for garage these days they don’t get the classic tracks I got drunk too.

I had a listen on their app the other night and it was deffo playing some 90s House Garage !

Good to know

Launched today at 64kbps DAB MP2 mono.

Sounding really clear and punchy. Good to see they’ve stuck to their routes with Garage sound!

Some big names on their launch day as well! Majestic, Todd Edwards, Wideboys, Maddness, SKT, Viper & DJ AG

Glad that they haven’t sold out and become another Pirate turned DAB Dance station.

Excited for this

Fair play to them I hope it goes well

On what mux are they on, can't seem to find it here.
