The Format

Three dials. One station.

Not a settings menu. Not a preference quiz. Three physical controls that shape what the station plays. Set them once. Adjust when the mood shifts.

MUSIC
GLAMHEAVY

Turn left for 80s hair metal. Turn right for modern heavy. Park it in the middle for everything. The same station plays Bon Jovi power ballads and Slipknot — you just decide which direction you want today.

Dial set to 1 — 100% Sunset Strip 80's metal.
VIBE
MELLOWINTENSE

Not your mood. The music's texture. Thin and atmospheric or dense and relentless. You know the difference between Sunday morning rock and Friday night driving. So does Dead Air.

DJ
OFFFULL

Pre-recorded drops by a real music director. Not AI. Not a bot. A human voice that sounds like it belongs on a radio station. Turn it up. Turn it off. It's your call.

Your Tracks, Your Rules

Two buttons.
Total control.

Dead Air plays what you want to hear — and what you don't. Fine tune your experience with Boost and Remove.

Boost Track
Play More

Hear it more.

Found a track you can't get enough of? Hit Boost Track and it jumps to the front of the rotation — playing more often while you listen. When you're ready to let it breathe, flip it off in your My Tracks library.

Active until you turn it off in My Tracks
Remove Track
Pull from Rotation

Never hear it again.

Some tracks just aren't for you. Remove Track pulls it from your stream permanently — no more surprise plays. Changed your mind later? Head to My Tracks, find it, and flip the silence toggle back off.

Silenced until re-enabled in My Tracks

Manage all your boosted & silenced tracks in My Tracks

The Voice

A real DJ.
Not a bot.

All DJ breaks are human, not AI. A Real voice that speaks about music, lyrics, and life.

DJ Dial — Position
OFFFULL
1

Pure music. The station shuts up and plays.

3

Occasional drops. Station ID. You know someone's there.

6

Regular liners, sweepers. Starts to feel like a broadcast.

9

Full show density. Drops, liners, sweepers, the works.

“If you want the station to shut up and play music, it will. If you want it to feel like you're tuned into something real, turn the dial.”

The Environment

Dead Air reads
the room.

Dead Air checks your local weather every 15 minutes. Not to tell you it's raining — you know it's raining. To make the music feel right for it.

You won't notice it. You'll just feel it.

Overcast

Darker. Slower. The station leans in.

Storm

Heavier. Relentless. You feel it.

Clear

Opens up. Lighter. Room to breathe.

Live Music

Shows near you.

When an artist comes up in your feed, Dead Air checks for upcoming shows near you. If they're playing within your radius, a card surfaces. One tap. Venue direct.

The Secret

So...listen... there's a backroom on this app. We left the door open on the edge of our server. That's all we can say. You'll figure it out or maybe ask someone who found the hack.

Just be warned, if you find it — you have the choice to turn it off, so don't be a karen or gary and bitch about the unhinged content. cool? cool.
