rautemusik HardeR

rautemusik HardeR is a themed web radio channel devoted to hard electronic dance music. It plays hardstyle, hardcore and other high-energy electro, and the stream's metadata describes its genre as Elektronisch. It is aimed at fans of fast, heavy club sounds who want a non-stop supply of hard dance tracks rather than a mainstream chart mix.

The channel is one of the specialised streams of rautemusik (rm.fm), a German internet radio network that first broadcast in April 2003 and now runs dozens of channels organised by genre, mood and occasion. The network is based in Germany and its website and presentation are in German, while the electronic music itself is largely international and mostly instrumental or English-language. The official channel page is rm.fm/harder.

Expect pounding kicks, driving basslines and fast tempos, played continuously with little talk between tracks. It suits workouts, gaming, parties or anything that benefits from relentless energy. The stream is delivered as 192 kbit/s MP3 over HTTPS, so it works in browsers, mobile apps and most internet radio devices. Our automated check confirmed that the stream is live, decodes correctly and is not silent. For softer electronic styles such as trance, house or chillout, the same network offers separate channels.
