In return, Beats in Space has launched Sweeney's career as one of New York's most sought-after DJs. Today, tens of thousands of listeners tune in to the Beats in Space broadcast in the Tri-State area, with thousands more all over the world listening in via live online streams, every Tuesday from 10:30pm to 1am.

Beats in Space remains the only dance-music radio show of its kind in New York, and one of the most instantly recognized in the world.

"Week in and week out, I’m still back in New York on Tuesday to record the show," says Sweeney. "I wouldn't miss it for the world.”
