Welcome to Windy City Underground

Chicago has always been a city of sound. From the soulful roots of blues on the South Side, to the birth of house music in the clubs, to the lyricists and producers shaping hip-hop today—this city is a rhythm all its own.

Windy City Underground is here to amplify that rhythm. We’re a student-led radio station, created by and for the next generation of tastemakers, artists, and music lovers. Our focus? The music that makes Chicago move: urban sounds, rising talent, and the fresh voices of our city’s underground scene.

We believe that local artists deserve a stage, and that the underground is where the future of music begins. From spotlight interviews with new voices, to live mixes that showcase Chicago’s heartbeat, we’re building a platform where talent can be discovered before it hits the mainstream.

What you can expect from us:
🎶 Fresh Tracks from emerging and local artists.
🎤 Artist Spotlights & Interviews that give you a behind-the-scenes look at Chicago’s creative community.

📻 Live Student-Run Shows that push boundaries, share stories, and celebrate culture.
🌍 Community Connection, bridging artists, listeners, and neighborhoods across the city.

This is more than radio—it’s a movement. Windy City Underground is where raw energy meets real opportunity, where students take the lead, and where Chicago’s sound gets the shine it deserves.

So plug in, turn us up, and keep your ears on the underground. The next wave starts here.
