Dance To The Radio is an independent record label founded by Whiskas of ¡Forward, Russia!. Named after the refrain of the Joy Division song "Transmission", the label has released some highly sought after 7" singles by the likes of iLiKETRAiNS, The Pigeon Detectives, Yes Boss, Napoleon IIIrd, This Et Al and ¡Forward, Russia!. They have been featured a number of times in "NME" and in Artrocker for being a notable success of the DIY ethic in the indie music scene at the moment.

Their first full scale single release was "Twelve" by ¡Forward, Russia! which reached number 36 in the UK Singles Chart. Their second release, again by ¡Forward, Russia!, was a re-release of limited edition debut single "Nine" which also became a top 40 hit. Since these, three more ¡Forward, Russia! singles have been released; "Eighteen", "Nineteen" and "Don't Be A Doctor" the latter of which was a limited White Label Release.

The label has also gone onto achieve great success with The Pigeon Detectives whose debut album "Wait for Me" entered the UK charts at number 3 and has since gone platinum, selling well in excess of 300,000 copies. On top of this the band have had 3 consecutive top 20 singles since March 2007.

Other releases include singles from Yes Boss, Sky Larkin, Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames, Bobby Cook and Grammatics
