Vinyl Morpher Radio is a non-profit making internet radio station whose DJs donate their own free time to present internet radio shows. It was set up by its creator Dave Marley in 2009 broadcasting from its base in London to across the globe.

The station specialises in playing soul/jazz/funk and boogie music from the 1970s and 1980s. The name is derived from Marley’s DJ name ‘Vinyl Morpher’. The station broadcasts 24 hours each day 365 days a year.

Vinyl Morpher Radio was created as a result of Marley’s pod cast show called ‘The Vinyl Morpher Show’ being posted on the YouTube site. The first live show broadcast on the station was the ‘New Year’s Eve Show’ on 31st December 2009. As a result of the interest this generated more and more DJs (now over 30) to become involved in the station over the ensuing months and, in turn, they began broadcasting their own shows often from their own studios. Most of the DJs are UK-based although some present shows from the USA, Germany with pre-recorded shows from Canada and Singapore.

The station has a Live Chatroom where the DJs (if presenting their show live) often interact with the people signed in. In addition to this, it is also responsible for an event which takes place three-times a year called ‘Bless the Funk’ playing funk, soul and disco music from the 1970s and 1980s.
