DFM is the brainchild of 2 school friends that used to do radio shows, for fun, in the later years of school, these shows had the fictitious name DFM. Many of these recordings still exist on C90 cassettes in the home of one of the duo. Lionel and Jonathan initially recorded the shows using an old cassette recorder with a built in mic, which sounded amazing, honest, and the music was added using the second deck on the cassette recorder.
