ABOUT ︎
Radio
Tempo Não Pára (Portuguese for Time Does Not Stop) is an independent
online radio station based inside the iconic decommissioned NDSM
shipyard in the North of Amsterdam.
With broadcasts occurring every Friday and Saturday, our team aims to highlight an exciting sound to a broad audience while facilitating a consistent listening experience through day-specific themes or sound palettes. In addition to live shows, we curate a series of online mixes under the name AstroFM, showcasing international artists who excite us.

Radio Tempo Não Pára
started off as a gift in the form of a 2-hour long mixtape on a cassette
tape from one best friend to another. Friendship is what our station
started from, and is what it will always represent.
We are entirely non-profit and community-funded. After a succesful crowdfunder (︎), we were able to build a cozy studio with a hi-fi sound experience and open doors to bypassers. Our dedicated team consists of musicians, researchers, filmmakers, students, writers and DJs, operating voluntarily.

Since
the birth of our radio station, we have been involved in multiple
events and projects. With these activities, we have always aimed to
promote unity, diversity and creativity in Amsterdam. Our activities
have a strong societal character with an emphasis on sustainable
partnerships. Below you’ll find some of our current or past projects.
