On the 2nd
of August 1990, it all started at 98.3 FM,
at that time known as the frequency of -X-Clusief
FM. Two people started playing music (as
a joke) known by almost nobody. Music like
House, Mellow, Techno and oldstyle Techno.
In the beginning there were only some broadcasts
at Saturday evening and Sunday evening.
We didn't know if this music would be popular,
but it became a real hype. In the beginning
the station broadcasted almost non-stop,
but it was worth a try. After
playing non-stop for a long period of time, we thought
it was now time for something else and we started making a "live" program.
The presentation of the first program was
done by Maurice v.d. Bent
while Harry Mulder
was doing all the live mixing.
It was a complete surprise for us, getting
phonecalls with Live greetings, requests
and more. Radio -X-Clusief had really become
the hype in The Hague, but Radio -X-Clusief
wanted more.
This meant more transmission power, more
broadcasting and finally another frequency.
This because of a legal radiostation
that broadcasted on 98.2 FM so we had to go
to 98.1 FM. From that moment on 98.1 FM
has been the frequency of THE HOUSE
STATION -X-CLUSIEF FM. Listen
7 days a week to the #1 House-Station of
the Hague.
We broadcasted every evening from
22:00 PM till 7:00 AM next morning and every
Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 21:00 PM
until ???? LIVE !!!
This wasn't possible any more since
the beginning of May 2003, when the Dutch
government started an action called 'Etherflits'
to "clean up" the Dutch FM broadcast band.
Since then -X-Clusief FM was on 96.1
MHz. After being caught several times, we
decided to pay more attention to the online
streams.
Nowadays, we are sometimes active
on air (FM 96.1 MHz), but not often.
We are still fighting for a legal place
on the air! Until then, you can always listen
to our 24/7 streams! |
