Description
ColdStar.Online is a hand-built electronic music stream that plays trance and house the way people who love trance and house actually listen to them. Its own word for the music is "cherry picked", and the running order is assembled around the musical key of each track so that one record slides into the next rather than colliding with it. The day is anchored by the big syndicated DJ hours it relays, so you get A State Of Trance in the small hours, VONYC Session around breakfast, Markus Schulz and Above & Beyond through the afternoon and Solarstone's Pure Trance Radio late at night, and because it reads the cue files, the individual tracks inside each show still turn up on the page as they play. In between the shows it runs deeper progressive and tech cuts, and anyone signed in can vote a favourite up the queue. There are two feeds, a 256kbps one and a lighter 128, a live tracklist, a listener counter, and no advertising anywhere.

Contact route
The player's own welcome text invites listeners into a Telegram group "for support and discussion" and links it, and the player carries per-track like and dislike voting that the station's own feature list describes as the ability to influence how the queue is formed. A separate mailbox is offered only to rights holders asking for music to be removed. No contact page exists and none is hidden: the React router declares only /, /how-to-listen and the sign-in, verify and password routes, /sitemap.xml and /locales both return 404 while the bundled locale path returns 200, and robots.txt declares nothing but an .ogg rule and a scraper block.

Worth knowing
By its own house rules nothing joins the stream until at least three years after release, and every track is deliberately re-encoded down in quality and shortened before it goes to air.

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
The high-quality mount named in the station's own front-end bundle and in its site copy ("Mp3 256/2/48000"). Fetched live: its own Icecast server returns icy-name "ColdStar.Online Radio (High quality)", icy-description matching the site, icy-genre "trance,house,tech,deep", icy-country-code "kg" and icy-language-codes "en,ru" at 256kbps. |

The (Low quality) suffix is a stream bitrate tier, not part of the name; the station's own site heads itself Coldstar Online Radio |
What we found and did not publish
Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.
| What we could have said | Why we did not |
|---|---|
| The Telegram group's invite address and the rights-holder mailbox | no addresses in this file, and the mailbox is an abuse route rather than a listener one.

| An OnlineRadioBox listing found in the JS bundle | a directory's page is not the station's own presence.

If you think something here is wrong
Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.
Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the
catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research
current as at 2026.
