Gaia Records is part of GaiaLive Internet Radio, the world's first Internet Radio station. GaiaLive was established in late 1995.
It is now the longest running online music facility, and hosts the longest running shows on the internet, the oldest of which is the Spongeboy & Tench show, called "tcom", which airs every Saturday from 1400 to 1600 UK time.
Originally netcasting using real audio from Demon's offices, it then got its own studios in the back-end of Islington (next to MetalHeadz).
After a break-in Gaia moved to the Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, and ditched the Real audio sponsorship, choosing instead to broadcast in Quicktime format which has matured into the 64k stereo MP4 broadcasts of today's live output.
GaiaLive was set-up by DJ Redz (Freek FM), Mr C (The Shamen) and Steve Kennedy. Taken over subsequently and still owned/run by Timothy Paul Read, it has covered every major UK act and music scene, as well as all of the major international names too.
