I’ve reopened AIHitFactory.
About a year and a half ago I started the radio station. It never really gained momentum, for a bunch of reasons, and honestly that’s fine. This time around, the difference is simple:
Its all based on me. I’m not here to impress anyone. I’m not chasing numbers, not truong to actuall build a professional station. I’m not trying to please algorithms, platforms, or trends. This time its just me having some fun and if people like it then thats great, if not, i dot care.
It’s my station, my site, my way.
The Site Itself Is an Experiment
What started as a simple script to self-host videos has slowly turned into something else entirely. These days it’s kind of a lightweight Facebook / Bandcamp style hybrid. So the Station is technically now called Fenix Radio. There is just a player available on the old AiHitFactrory. As well as on my Site here where its always been (once i change that stream back over)
If you’re a friend, you’re welcome to sign up and share your stuff here. I have to manually approve accounts so shoot me a message if you really in a hurry. New people, you can sign up too if you just want to chat, but creator accounts are limited to friends.
If you upload a track and I like a track, it may end up in the stations rotation.
Same deal with Fresh Friday and Super Saturday. If I like what you’re doing, I’ll playlist it and it’ll probably show up during live streams from time to time. If I really like something, I might even ask for the MP3 so it can live on the 24/7 station.
No submissions forms. No politics. No promises.
Just vibes and taste.
Live Streams and Radio Reality
I’ll be livestreaming Fresh Friday and Super Saturday on the station, along with other bits and pieces throughout the week.
I’m fully aware that traditional internet radio is kind of a dying thing. Most people just build playlists and listen on demand now. That’s fine. This isn’t about “reviving radio”.
It’s just a bit of fun.
For me.
And for my friends.
Why Bother at All?
Part of this is frustration, honestly.
Between platforms taking things offline, constant restrictions, and systems that still can’t figure out that I’m not under 16 because they fail to recognise my face properly, I’ve had enough of relying on other people’s infrastructure.
Another part of this is future-proofing.
This site also exists as a home-network idea. If the wider internet gets cut, filtered, or fractured even more, everything here can still exist locally on my mesh network or whatever parts of the internet remain accessible.
Self-hosted. Local. Ours.
I’m not trying to build the next big platform.
I’m not selling a dream.
If a small community forms around the site, great.
If the station becomes a little private thing we all enjoy and share, even better.
That’s the whole point.
Welcome back to AIHitFactory.
