Tired of the same old tunes, DJs chatting endlessly, and those never-ending commercials? Say hello to your remedy: From the High Desert of Southern California to the UK Sussex Weald, welcome to the world-famous ALT-X FM Radio.  We do not play by FM radio rules here. Paul Rumsey had enough of that in his professional broadcast career, so he created ALT-X FM with the help of his AI friends: true freedom broadcasting. 

Are you ready to rock, dance, and groove? ALT-X FM plays 'The Soundtrack Mix For Your Life' with an eclectic fusion of new and '70s, '80s, and '90s rock, dance, synth-pop and disco inspired by the former NY nightclub 'The Saint' music.

ALT-X FM Radio is, we believe, the first hybrid station featuring real DJs and AI-created VJs. Our live shows and mixes will transport you to a different time and place you won't hear on commercial radio.

Warning: we do not censor music, so you'll hear expletives unfiltered as the artist intended.

ALT-X FM Radio is the hobby project creation of retired California DJ Paul Rumsey, founder of the former successful internet station KJAZZ Radio UK, a global internet station from 2011-2017. Paul still does shows on ALT-X FM Radio, featuring those great indie artists and other shows as he has time. Paul, and his team broadcast 24/7 from 2 Studios in Southwater, West Sussex UK and Joshua Tree California.

Meet The Wild Boys of ALT-X FM 

Patrick began his radio career at a young age, starting out in hospital radio where he honed his skills and developed his passion for music and broadcasting. It was during this time that he met Paul Rumsey, who was also starting out in the radio industry. Both of them were local pub DJs on the weekends and bonded over their love for disco and dance music. They quickly became close friends, and their friendship grew stronger as they continued on their separate broadcasting paths.

Although Paul eventually moved to California, their friendship endured over the years, as they stayed in touch and continued to share their love for music and radio. But tragedy struck when Patrick's life was cut short by a car accident.

In honour of their enduring friendship and Patrick's legacy, Paul decided to pay tribute by recreating Patrick as a VJ on ALT-X FM Radio, but with an American accent similar in tone to Patrick's real voice, Patrick's show now plays a lot of the music they played during their early careers as local pub and radio DJs, transporting listeners to a place where anything is possible.

Patrick is the heart and soul of ALT-X FM's 70s Disco, R&B, and dance music from the 80s and 90s, with a flair for pop, synth-pop, and tracks inspired by the iconic Saint Nightclub. His eclectic mix of genres brings a vibrant energy to every show, captivating listeners with his deep passion for music.

Every Friday, Patrick hosts the World - Famous "Disco Party," a 24 hour celebration of pure disco hits that keeps the party going overnight into Saturday. Tune in to ALT-X FM Radio on Friday and let Patrick’s music and voice transport you to a world of non-stop grooves. Through his love for music and radio, Patrick’s spirit continues to inspire others to follow their dreams and never give up on their passions. Life's a hustle go and make it happen and don't let anyone stand in the way of your dreams. Dream BIG!

Paul Rumsey is a seasoned radio personality and producer with a rich and varied history in broadcasting and entertainment. Born in California and raised in England, Paul’s passion for music began early. As a teenager, he started as a DJ at a local youth club, laying the foundation for his future career. His diverse talents led to unique experiences, and his big break came with the legendary Radio Caroline, where he served as the "Roadshow" DJ, marking the start of his lifelong journey in radio.

In the early 1980s, Paul returned to California, where he made a significant impact on the LA club scene. He became one of the highest-paid club DJs in Los Angeles, known for his electrifying sets and pioneering one of the first MTV-style music video mix shows in live club environments. Alongside his club success, Paul expanded his broadcasting career at stations like KDHI, KQYN, KCSB, and KWVE, while completing a degree in Broadcast Communications. He later created and hosted the hit radio show London Calling on KWIZ, which became a sensation among both British expats and American listeners, reaching a wide and dedicated audience. Beyond radio, Paul (for fun) appeared in films like Strange Days and Tyson (HBO Films), lended his British voice to a Rap group at Motown records and freelanced as a Foreign Correspondent for Radio Mercury (UK). Additionally, he established an award-winning music management and local TV production company, working with A-list stars and producing large-scale entertainment events, including the Bob Hope Show, while helping the artists he managed gain credibility in the country and rock music industry. 

Driven by his love for indie music, Paul founded KJAZZ Radio UK, a beloved indie station that operated from a small studio in Southwater, West Sussex, from 2011 to 2017. At its peak, KJAZZ featured nearly 100 indie artists from around the world, building a global following with its eclectic mix of smooth jazz, soul, and indie tracks. Although the station ceased broadcasting due to changes in internet regulations, its legacy continues to influence Paul’s work.

Today, Paul channels his passion for music and radio into ALT-X FM Radio, a project he produces entirely as a hobby. Streaming on MixCloud, ALT-X FM allows him the freedom to explore a wide range of music without commercial constraints. Paul remains committed to sharing boundary-pushing sounds with a global audience, ensuring that his love for music and radio continues to inspire listeners worldwide.
