Astreaux the DJ launched the station in December 1999 with the purpose of supplying himself with his favorite new age music, ambient music, and space music while he traveled. Instead of carrying CD’s with him he thought it might be easier to just get online and stream the music over the internet. It was easier, and at the time it was also free. He set up a station that he could listen to even with a dial up connection, and he left his CD’s safely at home (where they were ultimately stolen in a burglary).
Unexpectedly, he started receiving requests from listeners to his station. He had made the station presentable but really didn’t expect to get many, or any listeners. Often a request came for an artist unknown to Astreaux. This was a treat as it exposed him to new artists and new music. So, in between trade excursions, Astreaux started devoting time to the station and the interaction with listeners and artists. For the first year and a half the station had no web site to call its own, just a "Group" on Yahoo to handle communications. Finally he busted loose and built AstreauxWorld.com. Astreaux World needs your support and so do the artists whose music we play. The best way to do this is to buy their music! If you're an iTunes listener, just click that iTunes button on the left. Or try CDBaby.Com for lots of great Astreaux music - you can listen online or purchase CD's Who Else? Just on this planet we host MANY visitors every day, and those visitors come from all over the planet. We've received donations and contributions from many people, and we're thankful to everyone, including all of the artists who create this incredible music, and the listeners with whom we quietly share a kindred spirit. There are others who work on Astreaux World. Reverend Dr. Rick has assumed the responsibility of the station and the websites after the untimely passing of Astreaux on December 27, 2008. As a long time listener and frequent visitor on Astreaux World, he agreed to keep things going as a tribute to what Astreaux had created, so that the thousands on this planet and the uncounted masses on all of the other planets in the galaxy served by Astreaux World, could continue to enjoy the wonderful music and to hear Astreaux’s announcements and interjected humor. Where Astreaux is originally from Astreauxlangatta, a sea-side city on the fourth planet of a 12 planet solar system on the far side of the Milky Way. It has population of 4 million humanoids, and 2.5 million Krutonians... But seriously, Astreaux World is where you are, where you listen to the show. It's all over the world.
