RAT FM

RAT FM is Ballarat’s local home for big beats, throwback grooves, and the DJs who keep the dancefloor alive. Broadcasting straight from the heart of the community, RAT FM is where yesteryear’s dance anthems meet today’s local talent.

We celebrate the golden eras of dance — from house to disco, garage to trance, and everything in between. If it made you move back in the day, it’s on our playlist. Think euphoric classics, deep cuts, and those unforgettable floor-fillers that still give you chills.

But we’re not just about nostalgia — RAT FM is powered by local DJs who know the scene, live the vibe, and spin with soul. From seasoned selectors to rising stars, our hosts bring the energy, the stories, and the sound of the streets to the airwaves.

Whether you’re reliving your club days, discovering dance roots, or just here for the good vibes — RAT FM is your go-to station for timeless tunes and homegrown heat.

Turn it on, turn it up — this is RAT FM: Real. Local. Dance.

Mission: Our mission is to keep the spirit of the dancefloor alive — locally grown, globally inspired. We’re here to celebrate the beats that brought us together, the DJs who move our streets, and the timeless club anthems that still make your heart race.

We champion local talent, giving DJs a platform to shine, connect, and share their sound. From classic house and disco to 90s rave and early 2000s bangers, we deliver the very best of club culture — 24/7.

Our goal is simple: to create a space where the community comes together through rhythm, memories, and movement. Because the party never ends when it’s powered by passion.

Programming: RAT FM’s programming is built by the community, for the community — powered by the beats and bangers that bring us all together. We shine a spotlight on local DJs who know exactly what gets you moving, spinning everything from old-school anthems to fresh floor-fillers.

Our DJs aren’t just names behind the decks — they’re part of the local scene. From backyard parties to late-night sets, they’ve lived it, loved it, and now they’re bringing that same energy straight to your speakers.

Expect a non-stop mix of club classics, dancefloor destroyers, and those “one more tune!” moments that make you turn the volume all the way up. Whether it’s Friday night hype or weekday pick-me-ups, our schedule is stacked with homegrown talent dropping the biggest tracks across house, garage, techno, funk, and more.

Real DJs. Real tunes. Real local energy. This is RAT FM  — where the community comes to dance.
