Thank you for stopping by! The Retro Attic is your 24/7 listener-supported internet radio guide to the music of the 50's through the 70's. We play lost and classic top 40 hits, but we also place a heavy emphasis on the minor charters and non-charters...or as we call them, bottom 45's. Special Mixcloud shows will be announced as time permits. If you're a VIP member and have a general suggestion or a song request, then please use our chat widget in the lower right corner or the manual contact form below. Your request will be queued for play at a minimum of 60 minutes if it is already in the station's inventory; otherwise, I will process your request as soon as I can. Please read the "Membership Special" post below if you're interested in submitting multiple song requests every day (18 a week plus occasional theme blocks and your own idea for a special show); I can only serve those who are willing to contribute, since the costs to bring you a high-quality stream are astronomical these days. Please note that the membership contribution is ONE-TIME ONLY AND ISN'T REQUIRED EVERY MONTH.

If you appreciate what we do, then please make use of our PayPal buttons on the site. You can donate a one-time amount or choose from 10 monthly subscription amounts; the donations will help enhance our programming and keep us on Live365. Yes, The Retro Attic is legitimate and pays artist royalties!

DJ GILBERT MATTHEWS SPEAKS!

In order to get geared up for next month's premiere of my show "The American Bottom 45 - The Other Grooves," I have started to add commentary to my new adds. It has been a long time coming, I know...

I'm sure that I was starting to sound like just a small step above a glorified jukebox! I'm now realizing that I need to continue evolving, so hopefully some personality and occasional artist/song facts at the beginning of the tracks will get me on the path toward a bigger listening audience.

In case you were wondering, the premiere edition of "The American Bottom 45 - The Other Grooves" will focus on 1975. You will have to wait and see what week I pick!
