Rinse France: live radio from Paris

Hooold...

Dusting off the needle…

Rinse France

Less London than it looks.

Afrobeats, dancehall and electro, en français.

Rinse London turned twenty in 2014 and marked the anniversary by opening a French arm. Manaré and Laurent, two fixtures of the Paris night who both DJ and promote, took it on that February and ran it out of a small room in the 11th before moving to bigger premises on rue de Crussol. Three years later the Mixcloud Online Radio Awards named it the best radio station in Europe. It has never been on FM — web only from the start, live every day from the afternoon into the small hours.

The roster is French and then some. D'Julz digs at home, François X takes the techno, Miley Serious and Bambii bring their guests, Electrafrique and Trois Quarts Taxi System work the Afro and diaspora end, and Nyege Nyege has taken the studio over from Kampala. Sabor A Mi handles the Latin hours and Les Yeux Fermés the quiet ones at the end of the night.
