For years, people have asked, “Where do I vote?”, or “Can I request a song?” And for years, we’ve replied, “Sorry, that’s not something we can do.” That is, until now.

Music Mafia Radio is turning up the involvement in a big way. Our numbers in 2026 have exploded, and with our 10th anniversary on the air coming at the end of July, we’re celebrating by giving the Mafia a brand‑new way to shape the sound of the station.

You can now submit song requests — and the most requested tracks will be featured in our new listener‑powered show:

AT YOUR REQUEST

Every request counts. Every vote matters. Every fanbase has a voice. Artists, get your people involved. Listeners, rally behind your favorites.

In addition, Coz will be looking at the requests as he prepares his Wednesday night shows, searching for songs that fit whatever the format of that night’s show is.

Requests can be made from songs already in rotation — keeping the quality high and the sound true to Music Mafia Radio.

Hit the request page and make your picks. Your choices might shape the next episode. And this is just the beginning. Over the coming months, we’ll be introducing even more ways for the Music Mafia Radio familia to have a voice in the music you hear every day.

At Your Request. Built by the listeners. Delivered by Music Mafia Radio.

It’s The Music That Matters.

Music Mafia Radio is built on a simple belief: great music deserves to be heard without the noise, the clutter, or the politics that dominate so much of today’s independent music landscape. In a world overflowing with thousands of streaming stations and countless award programs, we stand apart by doing something refreshingly uncommon — we curate with intention.

The independent music scene is full of passion, creativity, and raw talent. But it’s also crowded with stations that play every submission they receive, hoping to give every artist a chance. While the sentiment is admirable, the result is often an unpredictable listening experience filled with tracks that aren’t ready for broadcast, playlists shaped by personal bias, and programming that feels more like a grab bag than a station.

Music Mafia Radio takes a different approach.

We believe listeners deserve a station that respects their time, their ears, and their love of music. That’s why we focus on one thing above all else: quality. We don’t chase trends, we don’t care about follower counts, and we don’t let awards or hype dictate what gets played. Every artist we feature earns their spot through the strength of their music — nothing more, nothing less.

With more than 13,000 submissions a year, we have the privilege of discovering extraordinary independent artists from around the world. Our job is to sift through the noise, find the standouts, and bring you a lineup that feels consistent, compelling, and genuinely exciting. When you tune in, you know you’re hearing the best of the best — artists who bring real craft, real heart, and real talent to the table.

Music Mafia Radio isn’t just another station. It’s a curated experience. It’s a community built around authenticity. It’s a home for artists who deserve to be heard and listeners who demand something better.

Because at the end of the day, it’s the music that matters.
