Total Groove broadcasts from Orihuela Costa, down where the Costa Blanca runs out into Murcia, and the thing it is built around is a roster rather than a playlist. Something like sixteen resident DJs hold named slots across the week, among them Jens Lissat, who has been putting out house records since the early nineties, and the Belgian Olivier Gosseries. It is licensed through SGAE, runs its site in French, Spanish and English, and is kept up by a handful of partners rather than by selling spots.

The grid splits two ways. Sets DJ are mixes the station's own artists record, and Émissions musicales are tracks-only hours built around one style. Between them the week runs techno and its rawer and dubbier ends, deep and organic house, progressive, melodic and afro house, with lounge and downtempo hours alongside. The overnight stretch goes back to the club.
