A piece of dance music to master for a Radio station (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bossa nova

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a radio station' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a piece of dance music to master' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'piece' could be 'os' (os is a kind of piece) and 'os' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
'music' could be 'b' and 'b' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
