What’s New on Dogglounge – Dogglounge Radio

Recent work on Dogglounge — new features, fixes and things worth knowing about. Newest first.

30 August 2026

Charts A new /charts/ page: the most played artists, tracks and record labels on Dogglounge — all time, over the last 30 days, and for every year back to 2010. Counted from the station's own airplay log rather than a poll.
Fifteen years of airplay recovered Over a million plays going back to June 2010, rebuilt from old station database backups and now kept up to date automatically. Roughly eleven months of 2022–23 were lost before the recovery and could not be retrieved.
Play counts on artist pages Artist pages now show how often the station has played someone, when they first aired and their busiest year — where the artist has been in rotation.
Artist pages from tracklists Every artist appearing in three or more Dogglounge tracklists now has a page listing the sets they turn up in, with a short biography and photo from Discogs.
Live show alerts Listeners can opt in to an email or a browser notification when a DJ goes live. Strictly opt-in, with one-click unsubscribe.
The player follows you around the site Music no longer stops when you move between pages. Refreshing still stops it — no browser allows audio to restart without a click.
Scheduled tasks repaired The site's background jobs had stopped running, which meant live alerts could not have been sent at all.
About page Live station figures, the DJ roster, how to listen, and screenshots of the site through the years from the Internet Archive.

About this artist The now-playing panel and artist pages now carry a short biography, a photo and a link to the artist on Discogs.
Podcast artwork per episode Every episode now carries its own cover art in the podcast feed, sized to Apple's requirements, so episodes no longer fall back to the station logo.
Subscribe links The podcasts page now links straight to Apple Podcasts, Spotify and the rest.
Install as an app A prompt to install Dogglounge to a phone's home screen, shown only where the browser supports it.
Site footer and podcast search listings A proper footer across the site, and structured data so podcast episodes appear correctly in search results.

Recently played A compact recently-played list, replacing an embed that pulled in three external scripts and a page of markup on every song change.
DJ episode uploads DJs can upload a mix and its details themselves, delivered straight to the station.
SoundCloud import Existing SoundCloud sets can be imported as episodes.
Faster pages Around 180KB of styling that was being re-sent with every page is now a cached file, cutting a large chunk off each page load.
