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.
