Radio FG has been one of the best radio stations in France for a long time, and they have always had a strong presence online. If you are a fan of Garage, House, Deep, Hardcore, Trance, Techno or Electro you should check their site out. Their current online content is excellent—offering several different streams in multiple formats to accommodate your network speed and listening choice (iTunes, RealPlayer, etc.). A very large group of resident and guest djs keeps it fresh.
In addition to the three main streams (Live Radio, Chic, and Underground) there is a library of audio/video mixes, playlists and other sources. The site is in French only, but many of the words are English and it is very easy to navigate. The streams are fully noted, so you can see the name of the group/song/dj you're listening to. The program list keeps you informed of the live radio programs, which are on GMT+1. This means that the great evening shows hit in the afternoon stateside, perfect for an afternoon boost at the office.

At times upbeat and peppy, a quick shift in the music takes you to a darker place...
Dusty Groove. This is the place to turn to for hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind recordings that places like Tower and Virgin never carry. The one problem is that you generally can’t preview tracks, but each CD or LP has a great description and review so you’re not going into your purchase entirely blind. This site is great for DJs and total music heads....

Beginning in May, experimental composers Marie-Claire Brycztwa and Sudhu Tewari will host a seven-month "audio play" called Radio Village Nomade. Broadcast daily from a makeshift village in La Corbière, Switzerland, the 214-day project will feature live performances, as well as audio submissions from sound manipulators the world over. The concept is to let people define for themselves what constitutes a moment in time and...
Imagine an online social network that provides free, on-demand online music but without the legal anxiety of peer-to-peer networks. More interactive than conventional internet radio, though not as gratifying as Napster was in its glory days, Jango is a New York City-based music site with a large database of songs and artists and is instantly addictive. Now in its beta launch, there's a waiting...
London's always-bumping Fabric club has mightily grown from a sweaty dance music venue featuring the DJ cream of the crop to a record label that continues to release some of the best mixes I've ever heard from Ellen Allien to Grooverider. Tomorrow, 24 October, marks another day in Fabric history and for the fans who love them. They're kicking off the start of a...
