It's Like An Addiction: The Man Archiving Pirate Radio Station Kool FM
Summary
Trevor 7oaks preserves Kool FM by building Original Kool Archives, digitising thousands of pirate radio recordings from London's jungle/drum & bass scene. The piece highlights the archival process, the community around Kool FM, and the scale of the collection (over 9,000 recordings; roughly 150 tapes left to digitise) with hundreds of thousands of downloads; it frames archiving as cultural preservation.
