Dance To The Radio is an independent record label run by Whiskas of ¡Forward, Russia!. Named after the refrain of the Joy Division song Transmission, the label has released some highly sought after 7" singles by the likes of iLiKETRAiNS, The Pigeon Detectives, Yes Boss, Napoleon IIIrd, This Et Al and ¡Forward, Russia!. They have been featured a number of times in NME and in Artrocker for being a notable success of the DIY ethic in the indie music scene at the moment.

Their first full scale single release was Twelve by ¡Forward, Russia! which reached number 36 in the UK Singles Chart. Their second release, again by ¡Forward, Russia!, was a re-release of limited edition debut single Nine which also became a top 40 hit. Since these, three more ¡Forward, Russia! singles have been released; "Eighteen", "Nineteen" and "Don't Be A Doctor" the latter of which was a limited White Label Release. Other releases include singles from The Pigeon Detectives, Yes Boss, Sky Larkin, Shut Your Eyes And You'll Burst Into Flames and Voltage Union

They have released EPs for bands like iLiKETRAiNS and Napoleon IIIrd, three compliations as of 2007, and numerous albums, including Give Me a Wall by ¡Forward, Russia!, "Wait For Me" by The Pigeon Detectives, and Look Busy by Yes Boss.
