Music MATTERS
It all begins with an idea.
Alternative-Eden is a project of creating exciting and unconventional playlists, spanning five decades of underground and alternative musical talent
Most music shows will recycle a limited selection of songs that have been focus-group tested to appeal to a specific demographic, hoping that will lock in a regular-listening audience
Similarly, most music shows will focus an a specific genre, or a specific period of time, in the belief that’s what their audience wants
Alternative-Eden rejects this premise
Music did not stop being amazing at the end of the Eighties, or the Nineties, rather it continues to evolve, reacting and feeding back to the society around it
Alternative-Eden is committed to rediscovering our musical heritage and seeking out contemporary talent that shares the same spirit and energy to fill our souls with glorious, twisted and surprising perspectives on the world around us
