Gremlin Radio This page is dedicated to all of the fans of Gremlin Radio "That Guy"

I started streaming about 2000 because I could not find any good breaks station online.

There are more now but back then I could not find any. So it started out like this. I was desk jockey at day (disc jockey on the weekends) working at an engineering company doing some CAD drafting. I was bringing in CD's to work so I'd have something to listen to. In the mornings I'd pick out about 5 CD's that I was in the mood for. That was okay but I quickly realized that what I wanted to hear i

n the morning was not what I wanted to hear 2-3 hours later when I really woke up. The more awake I was the faster and harder the music became. Especially on Friday. TGIF! I thought to myself, I'll just bring in my whole CD case which held 300 CD's. That case is an aluminum case, like small suitcase. Well, I did that for a week or two and people were looking at me funny. I was "that guy" with the suitcase....that was awkward. I realized that I could not continue to bring in the metal luggage everyday. I had to figure out something better. "Tech Geek"

I started to think...it would be really cool if I can just listen to my music over the internet from my house. Then I would not be "that odd guy". I did a little research and discovered some people where using Winamp to stream music. The software needed was really simple. Back then I had cable internet with Excite@home. It was of course much slower in those days. I had 128k outgoing bandwidth. That is not much but it was enough to send out a stream or two at a low quality. Certainly not as good as I have now. I thought to myself, hey, I am tech geek, this would be cool and a fun thing to do. So I recorded a bunch of my CD's, setup the stream and whammo! I had my own personal Internet radio station. Down the road I started adding things like the request capability so I can control my songs. It worked really good for one or two people. Good enough to solve my problem.

“Spread My Addiction”

My personal station worked really good. I thought I should share this with friends so I created a web page and then I found one of those lame free domain names so people could find me online. The domain name was djgremlin.mine.nu. It wasn’t the coolest but it worked. I was official, I was online, I was Gremlin Radio. Well, you know how hobbies can be….they need money. Also at the same time I paid for my first stream server company to host my stream so I could have more listeners. You cannot do much with only two slots or so for listeners. So the added stream server really allowed me to grow with listeners. After about a year or so of operation I had regular more listeners and went big time with my own domain name. Sep. of ’02 GremlinRadio.com was on the map. "Lagniappe"

For a little humor, check out a snapshot of the old djgremlin.mine.nu website here [link=http://web.archive.org/web/20011024062827/djgremlin.mine.nu/gremlinradio/default.htm]djgremlin.mine.nu[/link]. I had 3 DJ’s on the station and only 284 songs…. Wow. Here is another entertaining archive snapshots after I upgraded to [link=http://web.archive.org/web/20030422065249/http://www.gremlinradio.com/]GremlinRadio.com[/link]…boy did it grow quick. Hope you enjoyed the history. Kipp

WHERE DID GREMLINRADIO.COM GO?

An Apology to Our Gremlin Radio Fans

To all of our loyal listeners and supporters: We owe you an apology and an explanation.

Gremlin Radio has always been built on passion and a love for the music, but over the past couple of years, we’ve faced some major setbacks that kept us from delivering what you deserve.

In 2023, a massive server failure wiped out our entire setup, our station website, broadcaster, tracks, files, and more. After months of working to recover the data, we discovered the process had failed, and we were forced to start over from scratch.

Then in 2024, just as we were rebuilding, disaster struck again. An outage and hard drive crash destroyed our progress, crushing the hard work we had put in to bring Gremlin Radio back online.

We know how disappointing this was for our community. We felt the same heartbreak, but we never gave up.

Now, in 2025, we’ve made big changes to ensure Gremlin Radio has the stability it deserves. The website is now hosted securely in the cloud, and our stream runs on a local server with a far more reliable internet connection. These changes mean better uptime, stronger performance, and fewer risks of losing everything again.

We are truly sorry for the downtime and the silence. But today, we’re excited to say that GremlinRadio.com is back, stronger than ever, bringing you “The Best in Club Breaks and More.”

We hope you’ll continue to support us, spread the word, and keep the vibe alive. This station exists because of you, and together, we’re making sure it never goes dark again.

With gratitude and renewed energy,

The Gremlin Radio Team
