Breakcore & experimental

Breakcore and experimental radio, live from Paris: Taztaza in the late afternoon on Wa3's Electronic channel, Experimental late at night on Random. Trashiii, Zorrovian and Pizza Hotline on one side; Mort Garson, Yasuaki Shimizu and Praed side by side on the other. Not background music — shows for people who want to hear something they have not heard before.

Breakcore takes jungle's breakbeats — the Amen break above all — and chops, speeds and smashes them until they turn into collage. Wa3's crate follows the young internet wave that crossed it with jungle and the memory of old game consoles: Trashiii, Zorrovian, Pizza Hotline and LOMAJI, with titles like DUALSHOCK, Emotion Engine, Gran Turismo or FINAL SAVE.

Taztaza plays it every day in the late afternoon on the Electronic channel. The Experimental show moves to the Random channel, late at night a few times a week, and reaches further: Mort Garson's Plantasia, his 1976 Moog music for houseplants, beside Yasuaki Shimizu, Jean-Michel Jarre, Ron Geesin and Praed from Beirut. Not background music — for when you want to hear something new.
