Global's Pumping Hub
Launched in October 2020 by Global, Capital Dance is a dedicated digital radio station for dance, electronic, and house music enthusiasts. Experience pure, unadulterated dance music that sets it apart from mainstream stations.
Capital Dance quickly established itself as a go-to destination for enthusiasts of the genre.
Carving Out a Niche
While Capital FM, its mainstream sister station, often blends popular chart hits with dance tracks, Capital Dance carves out a distinct space. It's a testament to the enduring popularity and diverse sub-genres within electronic music, offering listeners a consistent soundtrack that prioritises the beat. Launched during a period when clubs were largely shut down due to the pandemic, Capital Dance filled a significant void, bringing the club experience directly into homes, cars, and headphones across the UK.
