Phonkio Radio | OG Phonk in HQ 24/7

Phonkio Radio | OG Phonk in HQ 24/7 sits in the tail of Brazil's 430 entries. The tail is the part of a directory that goes missing first, and it is the part worth keeping: the head of every country's list is the same handful of national broadcasters, and everything that makes a dial local is behind them.

Broadcasting in English from Brazil, alongside 24 other stations there doing the same. Portuguese is the country's commonest broadcast language in this directory, so this is the second shelf of a bilingual listing.

The English shelf on this site collects every station in the language regardless of where it transmits from, and the directory's English entries are concentrated in United States, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom. Reading the shelf next to this page is the quickest way to see how far the language's dial actually reaches.

Phonkio Radio | OG Phonk in HQ 24/7 is the only station in Brazil whose first tag is cloud rap, out of 430 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in Brazil does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only cloud rap station.

320 kbps against Brazil's median of 128. Streams at this rate are the ones worth finding a good pair of headphones for, and they are uncommon: 55% of the country's stations reach 128 kbps at all.
