Not actually on FM
The Dutch west coast and the city of the Hague in particular is a hotbed for the current techno revival. Intergalactic plays round the clock old, new and true school techno. The programming policy is brilliantly relentless. Intergalactic’s blog has a great feature called, “Portraits of the electro scene”, showing photographs of Dutch DJs and artists at home surrounded by keyboards and shelves of records.
The Guardian: Launch the Flash player and there are two other equally niche channels to chose from – Intergalactic Classix focuses on 80s-style synth dance and cheesy disco (every day at 11am there’s a slot I like called NRG Formaggio), while The Dream Machine is a kind of anything-goes ambient-space-jazz freak-out channel, and quite possibly the only place you’ll ever hear the instrumental saxophone-noodling soundtrack to an Italian movie called Porno Shop On 7th Street followed by an ancient clip of James T Kirk reading his captain’s log accompanied by some bongos.
