Still down?

What happened?

[discosavvy]

Yeah, Brian decided to shut it down.

The night the lights went out.
The Disco Heat shut down on September 18, 2006. I've been running the station for over 2 years, and in that time it has become a very successful radio station - and it is with very mixed emotion that I decided to shutter the site.
I started The Disco Heat as a hobby in my spare time. Over the years, the time and money to maintain this site has grown exponentially — and are just beyond what one person can do on a part-time basis. When you run a small site, you always have to be available — in case there's a server problem, or user issues.
Keeping the site running was a continuous labor of love and in the end, I realized I was swimming against an incoming tide. Thanks to all the folks who have donated in the past and helped me stay on the air as long as I did.
The music was the spirit of The Disco Heat and that will always endure.

How sad! It had an incredible playlist of requestable tracks, many rare and hard-to-find. New material was added regularly, the last batch of which went online just before the whole station suddenly disappeared. Please bring it back online even if only part-time.

Are there any other Internet disco stations with an automated request system like Disco Heat?

Thanx for updating this topic. I've listened a lot to Brian's station which had a great concept.

When members were posting here about a song I didn't know I quickly checked if it was in his database. I also requested many records and the personal choices of the different listeners made the playlist very enjoyable.

But I think it was a commercial flop. When you need to hire the servers and pay the rights (Brian always did) IMO you can not keep a station online without adverts. I always wonder how Lee and Shelley from Dancenetradio pay the bills!

But Brian, if you read this, thank you so much for all the hours and hope to hear again from you some day!

Yes, If Brian reads these forums - thank you for the hours of great music. I made some great dicoveries through the station. Work just isn't the same without it!

I don't mind advertisements. Maybe Bernie and/or others could take over the operation or do something similar.

radioio. your world. your station. no boundaries., it has a disco station run by one of the members SFBeary and I think it's a great station for those forgotten disco hits.
