Mod Radio
The Home of Mod Music on the Internet
Mod Radio is a long-running specialist internet station built around the mod scene and the wider sounds that feed into it, from soul and Motown to ska, reggae, beat, garage and revival-era cuts. It is the kind of station that makes sense only if the people behind it actually care about the music, and everything public about it suggests that they do.

Mod Radio is one of those internet stations that has survived because it stands for something specific. Public descriptions consistently frame it as a dedicated mod-style station, playing not just obvious mod revival staples but a wider musical spread including Motown, soul, ska, reggae, beat, garage, freakbeat and related sounds. That matters, because a station like this lives or dies on taste, and the public identity is clearly built around scene knowledge rather than generic retro branding.
The older public material around the station is actually useful here because it explains the musical philosophy better than most modern directory blurbs do. A long-circulating station press-style write-up described Mod Radio UK as a “groovy trip back to the 60s & 60s influenced music” with DJs from around Europe and live shows covering mod, soul, rhythm and blues, garage, psych, ska, rocksteady and revival-era sounds. More recent public profiles still describe it as being on air 24/7 after more than 15 years, which suggests this is not some dead project with a stream still limping along.
The show identity is where the station gets its character. Publicly documented strands associated with Mod Radio UK include The Top 20 Show, The Sounds Of The Wolf, Thee FuzzFreak Show, Crazy Helter Skelter, Sir Chalks & Dr Viv, The Sounds of the Suburbs and the long-running Glory Boy Mod Radio Show. That is a much stronger base than a one-format loop, because each show leans into a different corner of the wider mod universe, from soul and ska to garage, punk, freakbeat and revival sounds.
Notable Presenters & Shows: publicly documented Mod Radio UK DJs and shows include Buster with The Top 20 Show and Main Stream Mix, Danny “The Wolf” with The Sounds Of The Wolf, Russ “Thee FuzzFreak” with Thee FuzzFreak Show, Rafa with Crazy Helter Skelter, Chalky & Dr Viv with Sir Chalks & Dr Viv, and Chris “HalifaxMod” with The Sounds of the Suburbs. More recent public social activity also clearly ties Alan May to the Glory Boy Mod Radio Show, which remains a recognisable named strand around the station.
