Bringing the finest dance music to the South Coast and beyond

Outreach Dance, launched in 2022, features home-grown and international DJ’s such as Alison Wonderland, Dave Pearce, deadmau5, Judge Jules, Nicky Romero, Paul Oakenfold, Paul van Dyk, Roger Sanchez, Stephani B & Tiesto, bringing the best DJ’s and dance music to our local area, whilst showcasing local music & talent externally.

Based on the success of Outreach Radio’s weekend dance music programmes, Outreach Dance was spun-off as a radio service dedicated to dance music lovers, club and electronic music. 

Our Mission – Keeping Local Radio Local!

Since the consolidation of big corporate networks caused many local stations to shut down or merge, Outreach Radio and it’s sister stations (Outreach Gold, Outreach Extra, Outreach Dance and Outreach Classical) have successfully stepped into that vacuum to provide a truly authentic local and commercial voice for Hampshire, the South Coast and the Isle of Wight. Over the last several years, corporate mergers forced classic heritage stations like Wave 105, Sam FM, and The Breeze to shut down or turn into national streams, dramatically changing the local radio landscape. This has led to local studio closures, staff dismissed and all local programming discontinued.

For young people interested in radio broadcasting, media or journalism, this has significantly reduced the opportunities to gain valuable work experience and, importantly, the potential career pathways into commercial radio employment. It is crucial that radio stations such as Outreach Dance play a role in providing training, work experience and employment opportunities, and ensure that we are a radio station that genuinely serves local people and businesses, and to the best of our abilities.

With all of the local radio stations across our region now taken over by major media corporations, re-branded, and “converted” to national services from centralised locations in other parts of the country, Outreach Radio and its sister stations are now the only locally-based regional commercial and community broadcaster serving all of Hampshire, the South Coast and the Isle of Wight.

Whilst we are a not-for-profit company, we depend entirely on revenues from advertising and sponsorship to sustain our service. If you are interested in advertising or supporting Outreach Dance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
