It's a Paris based site so it's all in french but the music is fucking mint. I listened to this yesterday for a good 8hrs straight and hardly heard a singe track I didn't like. If you're one of those 'Big Trouble' peeps you'll dig this for sure!

At one point it switched to this sort of tribally house stuff for like an hour but went right back to the good stuff after.... probably just a one off show or something.

Anyways... check it out. GREAT station! :)

unrelated to electro, but you guys might like littleradio.com. it's mostly indie, there's some really good stuff on there. they have a monday night radio show called zoe radio, by a 14 year old girl, thats really good too.

^I've heard about this girl before... she was on some news show or something... maybe it was New Music

Gusto · #9 (**permalink**) Nov 08, 05

could be. she was in spin anyway.

GAH!!!!

The mix on right now is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cdn_Brdr · #11 (**permalink**) Jan 19, 06

Seeing as there's all this hype with the electro right now I thought I'd dig this up so people can check this out.

This station is amazing. Every once in a while they have this wierd 2 hour stretch of some sort of African tribal shit but for the most part it's sweet ass electro.

And as I mentioned in another thread already.... for all you electro-heads... this February is bringing Mylo to town. From what I know the venue isn't yet confirmed but the booking most definitely IS. Excited!!!!

Just what i needed!

MarcelM · #13 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 06

dope dope, right now they are playing the songs that are very famous in Italy
genere house elettronica

SquiLa · #14 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 06

They play a lot of electro cheese though - almost half the time. Girls singing about broken hearts or waay too happy rhythms, melodies or bouncy basslines. Happy is good but when it gets gay, well.

Cdn_Brdr · #15 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 06

Bah.... when I've listened there's never been THAT much cheese.

Either way, if you can find another station with some serious dirty electro let me know. I'm all for it!

ebbomega · #16 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 06

I dunno, man, I listened and caught Juliet - Avalon (Thin White Duke Remix), Mylo vs. Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure, and a bunch of songs right along those veins... I have to say those are pretty cheeseball electro tracks.

Whatever. I say we've got until about halfway into this year before the electro movement converts from good-cheese to bad-cheese. I'm still loving it right now but it's really gotten saccharine over the last year or so. And it's been moving further away from techno and bouncing more into house, which kind of hurts. Give me Chicken Lips or give me death!

I wish someone would bring in Anthony Rother or Sven Vath for once, instead of deep dish twice a year :)

Tayfoon · #18 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 06

I dont think Mylo is coming to town

ebbomega · #19 (**permalink**) Jan 21, 06

yeah, shawn, where'd you get your information? everybody i've spoken to has said he's asking a ridiculous amount of money, and if they don't have a venue already set up whoever is trying to bring him probably won't be willing to drop that kind of cash...

i think you're hearing rumour, there, bud...

Hes not asking for rediculous amounts of money, hes just a very boring DJ

Wood · #21 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 06

right... and as we all know, boring DJs never get booked in Vancouver...

i'm not crazy about this new definition of Electro, can't we just carry on calling it 'House' and save 'Electro' for the Hashims & Soul Sonic Forces & Twilight 22s. please?

Talk to your roomie.... from what I was told he went fairly cheap. As well, in regards to the venue, the promoter uses more than one venue quite often so my guess is they're deciding which to use.

VERY CREDIBLE SOURCE!

ebbomega · #23 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 06

I usually try to quantify it as electro-house or electroclash so as to differentiate it from kraftwerk, bambaataa et al.

ishkur's made the same rant as you, wood, comparing it to how everything was being called 'hard' without being hard at all (UK Hard House, heck, in a flyer for Olav Basoski someone referred to his style as 'hard disco house'.... wtf?), how when everything was once 'hard' regardless of how hard it really was, now everything is 'electro' regardless of how much it sounds like cybotron.

there's some music i can listen to and agree with the electro nomer, but as with the 2-year-old kid that refers to anything circle-shaped, including pancakes, as a 'ball', musical genres tend to decribe based on a lot of proximity, so tracks that sound like electro-house without any electro in them are therefore called 'electro'.

i did talk to my roomie. and another promoter in town who was considering bringing him out. both said he was too expensive.

Cdn_Brdr · #25 (**permalink**) Jan 22, 06

Well your roomie told me it was a done deal! He said they were bidding as well as Arpy and somebody else... can't remember the guys name. The third fella got the booking.

I got this info from him like 2 days ago!
