A look at some of our most-read and most-shared pieces
Artist Profile
Our profile of a Lavapiés-based DJ who built a following entirely through word-of-mouth became one of our most-shared posts of the year, leading to major press coverage for the artist.
Radio Feature
A deep dive into the history, struggles, and stubborn survival of one of Madrid's last truly independent broadcasters, read over 4,000 times in its first week.
Scene Report
When the official recap missed the point entirely, we published our own account from the floors and backstage corridors — and readers told us it was the only honest coverage they found.
AvenuesRadio started in 2019 as a passion project by a group of Madrid-based music writers and radio obsessives who felt the city's audio culture wasn't getting the coverage it deserved. What began as a handful of posts has grown into an independent editorial platform with thousands of monthly readers and a reputation for honest, well-researched music journalism.

Editorial standards that make every post worth your time
We don't publish for SEO volume or ad impressions. Every article on AvenuesRadio goes through a genuine editorial process — fact-checked, copy-edited, and reviewed for relevance before it hits the page.
Honest · Edited · Purposeful
Our contributors are Madrid residents — producers, DJs, radio presenters, and lifelong music fans. We prioritise voices with genuine proximity to the stories we tell, not generic content writers with no stake in the culture.
Local · Authentic · Invested
AvenuesRadio is known for covering artists and venues before they blow up. We spend time in the city — at small gigs, pirate radio nights, and record shop basements — so our readers discover tomorrow's names today.
