What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2011

An online radio station founded in Hackney, London, in 2011 by Femi Adeyemi, giving airtime to niche artists.

Björk, Thom Yorke, Robyn and Aphex Twin have all hosted shows. In 2024 the New York Times reported that around 40 per cent of what it played was not on Spotify. Universal Music took a large stake in 2023.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
