About ddr.
ddr. was founded in 2016. It is a community, volunteer-run radio station. It has helped to connect artists and micro-communities from all over the island who are making music, promoting events and using their creativity to make Ireland a better buzz. The station gives a platform to marginalised voices, fringe music and social justice.
Until recently, the studio was based in Jigsaw, off Mountjoy Square, but because of lease uncertainty, it launched a fundraising campaign. The response to the Fund It campaign was incredibly heart-warming, with over €20,000 raised: ddr. used that money to build a new studio in the Complex off Capel Street.
ddr. relies on subscriptions to continue to pay the bills! Lovely Patreon subscribers get free entry to ddr. parties (in non-Covid times), recording time in studio and gorgeous merch <3 <3 <3
