Boxout.fm is an online, community radio station based in New Delhi, India. It was founded in April 2017[2] by Mohammed Abood (DJ MoCity) and indie musician Sahej Bakshi (Dualist Inquiry).[3][4] It broadcasts live from Gulmohar Park in New Delhi seven days a week with programming beginning each morning at 09:00 IST (UTC+05:30) and ending at 01:00 IST. Boxout.fm's shows are then archived for streaming free of charge to a global audience on Mixcloud.[5]
According to its founders, the radio station was born of a need for a community-run music platform focused on showcasing alternative music and culture in India.[6]
These radio programs are hosted by a collective of thirty resident DJs in addition to a large and growing number of broadcasts from guest DJs and cultural figures from India and around the world.[7] The radio also welcomes submissions from artists looking to contribute musically to the station's programs.[8]
