Broadcast365 would like to welcome Astreaux World as our first featured station! Astreaux is a free internet radio station broadcast on Live365.com featuring ambient music, space music, new age music, electronic music and sprinklings of comedy, science-fiction, and metaphysics. “It's a world constantly battling against implosion.”Jerry Asher aka Astreaux the DJ, launched the station in December 1999 with the purpose of supplying himself with his favorite new age music, ambient music, and space music while he traveled. Instead of carrying CD’s with him, he thought it might be easier to just get online and stream the music over the internet.
Unexpectedly, he started receiving requests from listeners to his station. He had made the station presentable but didn’t expect to get many, or any, listeners. Often a request came for an artist unknown to Astreaux which was a treat as it exposed him to new artists and new music.
Due to the station’s popularity, Astreaux started devoting time to the station and the interaction with listeners and artists. For the first year and a half the station had no web site to call its own, and operated from a "Group" on Yahoo to handle communications. Finally he busted loose and built AstreauxWorld.com to host his devoted followers.
Reverend Dr. Rick assumed the responsibility of the station and the websites after the untimely passing of Astreaux on December 27, 2008. As a long time listener and frequent visitor on Astreaux World, he agreed to keep things going as a tribute to what Astreaux had created.
Astreaux World is 24 x 7 and 365 days a year (“Earth year or any other planetary time measurement”). The station is operational always, whether manned or on autopilot (“when we fold space to other locations frequently”) and follows the principle... "If you stream it, they will come."
Astreaux encourages you to look around, buy music from their artists, meet others, kick the tires, listen to the music, learn about the so-called company, and if you feel so inclined, help out by donating to support the station.
Additionally, you may stay up to date with events in and around Astreaux World by following their Twitter.com site @AstreauxWorld. It's free, fun and safe. Hear what is playing next, shout out to followers, and learn general information.
