Kaas FM: Alternative Dutch Music for International Ears
Ingrid Enache
An online radio station allows foreigners to discover Dutch alternative music as a way to begin to feel at home in the Netherlands.
Kaas FM is an online radio station broadcasting entirely Dutch alternative music. Moving from Romania, Ingrid Enache found a sense of belonging in the Netherlands by getting immersed in the local music scene. Kaas FM is a discovery platform which mirrors this experience in order to create a bond between Dutch music and its prospective international audience. Its visual identity pays homage to traditional Dutch Cafetaria’s, now mostly run by expats. Kaas FM celebrates this immigrant reality of starting your life again in a new country and building new communities, whether it is through sound, food or both.
