Cybernetic Broadcasting SystemCybernetic Broadcasting System

I-F — Ferenc van der Sluijs, veteran of the Hague electro crew Unit Moebius and founder of the Viewlexx and Murder Capital labels — spent six years running an internet station called Cybernetic Broadcasting System, a deliberate parody of the American network, before folding it into something larger on 22 August 2008. Intergalactic FM is what came out of that: a multi-channel operation held up by the Stichting Hotmix foundation and by listener donations, which ran the money down to nothing in 2014 and was pulled back from it.

The main channel still runs on I-F's own taste, putting cassette-era minimal wave, Turkish synth obscurities, Memphis rap tapes and Warp-era techno in the same hour. Panama Racing Club has filmed live sets in the studio for eleven seasons, with Intergalactic Gary, Marsman and Dazion among the regulars, while Disco Fetish and The Dream Machine take the disco and the soundtracks.
