After launching the hugely successful Radio X Classic Rock last year, there are now three more stations in the Radio X family.

We've added laid back anthems with Radio X Chilled and two decades stations – Radio X 90s and Radio X 00s with epic tracks from mega bands of the 90s and kings of the 00s.

Radio X Chilled brings you our more relaxed side: from stripped back acoustic versions of massive indie hits to 90s trip-hop, it's the perfect soundtrack to lazy Sundays and hectic workdays. You'll hear laid-back tunes from the likes of Oasis, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Courteeners, Stereophonics, Kings Of Leon, Radiohead, The Verve and more.

The 90s are back with a vengeance... and what a time to launch Radio X 90s, which features every great tune from Camden to Seattle, Britpop to Grunge. Get your parka on for the biggest 90s anthems from the likes of Oasis, Blur, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Manic Street Preachers, R.E.M., Pulp, Radiohead, Supergrass, Stereophonics and many, many more.
