Le Lounge Radio: Radio live aus Toulouse

Mooment...

Die Nadel wird entstaubt…

Toulouse, France

Le Lounge Radio

Built in lockdown, stayed on.

Toulouse club sets, straight off the local decks.

It started in 2020, when the clubs were shut and Toulouse DJs had nowhere to put a set, and came back in December 2023 with the brief sharpened: airtime for the music the city's larger outlets leave alone. The association behind it runs a studio as well — four XDJ decks, a DJM mixer, a turntable and a pair of monitors — which anyone can book by the hour, alone or back to back, with the session recorded and, more often than not, broadcast a few days later.

Most of what goes out is those sessions. CEREBRUM and HERONE hold the techno end, ENOLA, H3DONIST, LABOEM and SUB FM the house, with DEEPHI and Paul Saint-Anac trading records and DJ Maï replaying a festival set. Dubstep and rap turn up between them. Everything lands as a replay afterwards, so a set recorded on a Tuesday afternoon keeps circulating.
