Club Charts

Out of 1,409 entries in Germany, this one ranks 172. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The station's language is German, the commonest of the six the directory records for Germany. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the German shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

The encode is 192 kbps against a country median of 128. Comfortably above the middle of Germany's listing without being one of its outliers.

The audio comes from breakz-2012-high.rautemusik.fm, and 8 other stations in Germany are served from the same address. That is a streaming platform carrying many broadcasters rather than a station running its own server, which is worth knowing for a practical reason: when a platform has a bad night, a whole block of Germany's listing stops answering at once and nothing is wrong with any of the stations in it.

The station's own site is breakz.fm. The .fm domain has nothing to do with FM radio or with where a station is: it belongs to the Federated States of Micronesia and has been sold to broadcasters worldwide for years, so read it as branding rather than as a location.
