Downtown Tulum Radio: More Than a Station, A Movement

 

You can’t talk about Downtown Tulum Radio without talking about Omar Labastida—a name deeply rooted in the underground electronic music scene. A visionary DJ and producer with decades of experience, Omar has played alongside legends and shaped the sound of dance floors worldwide. With a passion for pushing boundaries, he saw an opportunity to create something unique—a radio station that wasn’t just about playing music, but about curating a global community of DJs, producers, and music lovers.

 

Founded in March 2021, Downtown Tulum Radio (DTR) quickly became more than just a platform—it became a movement. Streaming from the Riviera Maya to the world, DTR captures the essence of underground electronic music and amplifies it globally. We are a hub for creativity, a launchpad for talent, and a space where music goes beyond the decks.

 

What makes DTR different? We don’t just play music—we create experiences. Some of the most respected names in the industry, from Paco Osuna to Marco Lys, Kolombo to Hector, have stepped inside our booth, delivering unforgettable sets streamed across FM radio, online, and social media. From intimate live performances to festival-ready sets, DTR has become the sound of Tulum—and beyond.

 

But we are more than a station. We are a DJ Academy, a content studio, a global platform, and a community. Whether you’re tuning in, stepping behind the decks, or learning from industry experts, Downtown Tulum Radio is where passion meets opportunity.

 

Welcome to DTR—the sound of Tulum, the sound of the world.
