FILTH FM, the home of Dubstep, Grime and Drum & Bass.

After 1 1/2 months of streaming filthy sounds to listeners worldwide, the station decided to re-vamp it’s 80′s styled website, for an up to date, informative station website, with an automatically refreshing ‘Now Playing’ box and up to date DJ profiles. This was a large step forward for Filth.FM, and increases in web views created more issues with web serving and stream serving.

The station bought a dedicated server to handle the listener stats, and improve the listeners experience whilst listening in.

The station got shows from artists such as ‘Dubfreaks’, ‘Diesel’ and ‘Dubba Jonny’, some of which played weekly shows, increasing the daily hype being spread about Filth.FM.

By September 2010, Filth.FM was receiving over 3,000 views per day from its strong fan base, and had over 10,000 Facebook fans. DJ’s such as Funtcase were supporting the station, and Guest mixes from big name producers where a weekly feature. The station acquired its own Podcast, which was posted onto the Facebook page and also available for download via iTunes. This received massive attention, and podcasts were downloaded thousands of times a day.

The station took a sharp investment into the iPhone App, something that seemed useful and rewarding to the stations listeners. After 2 weeks of planning, the App was in the iTunes Store, and received 1,000 downloads in its first month.
