plusfmplusfm

plusfm runs out of Paris, an independent station carrying no advertising at all and with nothing to sell, kept going on donations and whatever its listeners feel like giving it. It is small enough that one person, David, writes a short piece about every single record that enters the rotation, naming the label and saying what the track actually does. The site comes in four languages, which tells you the audience is far from only French. A calmer sibling, plusfm Chill, runs alongside it.

The main channel is the broader of the two, running electro pop and indie electronic next to trip-hop, with house turning up whenever the mood is right for it. New arrivals tend to be recent releases rather than catalogue, so the rotation genuinely moves, and the blog is the running record of what changed and why. Nothing is beat-matched into a mix here; the tracks simply follow each other.
