Where does the name radio42 come from?

My first (real and most successful) company was called solution42, based on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a comedy science fiction series created by Douglas Adams. After solution42 was sold to Portal Software Inc. (later Oracle Corp.) I kept the 42 spirit in the name radio42.

Where does the name ProppFrexx come from?

We where sitting together with a couple of friends having a discussion about these fantasy names of new economy companies and who in the world invents all these funny names. After some excellent bottles of red wine one of us said, that may be the most idiotic name would be ProppFrexx.

Why did we start Bass.Net?

I was wanting to fully automate my own radio station and as such I was looking for the best sounding and most comprehensive audio engine. Finally I stumbled over BASS from Un4seen, which was really perfect, except it didn't offer a .Net wrapper. Hence I developed one: BASS.NET

Why do you play Soul when it's called Music for Lounge-Lovers?

Soul was always my passion. But at the time when I started my radio station I used to play music at a lounge bar (and lounge bars in general had been pretty fancy these days). That's why I called it Music for Lounge-Lovers, because it is the lovers of (soul) music deserving it and attending at the lounge bar.

Life on earth may be expensive, but it does include an annual free trip around the sun.
