Techno

Techno radio, live from Paris: Room 102 in the late evening and Cueva Manos in the small hours, every night on Wa3's Electronic channel. Peak-time and hypnotic techno with acid and industrial shades, mixed track into track as long sets, not a jukebox — Cueva Manos digs into Flug, Gëinst, Keith Carnal and Dax J. Free in any browser, no app, no account.

Techno was born in Detroit in the mid-eighties — dance music made with drum machines and synthesizers, stripped to the kick and the loop — and grew up in the clubs of Europe. Wa3's crate holds both ends of the line: Suburban Knight from Detroit, Emmanuel Top from France and Joel Mull from Sweden, then the hard, hypnotic techno of now — Flug, Gëinst, Keith Carnal, KAS-ST, Noemi Black, Dax J.

On Wa3, techno is night music. Room 102 takes the Electronic channel's late evening and Cueva Manos the small hours, with long, continuous sets mixed track into track rather than a jukebox — peak-time and hypnotic, with acid and industrial shades. Made for night drives, late work and the hours when the rest of the city sleeps.

Questions

Is Wa3 a 24/7 techno radio?

Not all day: Wa3 is a full station with several channels. Techno plays every night on the Electronic channel — Room 102 in the late evening, Cueva Manos in the small hours (Paris time); each show's page has the hours. By day the channel moves on to ambient, house, trance and drum and bass.

What is techno?

Repetitive electronic dance music built on a steady four-to-the-floor kick, drum machines and synthesizers. It was born in Detroit in the mid-eighties, and today runs from deep and hypnotic to hard and industrial — the range Wa3's night shows cover.

Does Wa3 play hard techno?

Yes: the crate leans to the hard, hypnotic side — Flug, Gëinst, Keith Carnal, KAS-ST, Dax J — next to older records from Detroit and France. It plays in the small hours on Cueva Manos, free and with no account.
