Leading French dance music station Radio FG have added Jonty Skrufff and Fidelity Kastrow’s weekly BLN.FM radio show Germany Calling to their station, broadcasting each edition three times a week.
The one-hour weekly show is being broadcast on Tuesdays at 8am (CET), Thursdays at 17.00 and Sundays at 14.00 on Underground FG, the cutting edge channel of the massively successful radio group, said station administrator Nicolas Chanel.
“Underground FG was launched in 2004 at the same time as Paris’ Techno Parade began, which FG DJ Radio cofounded together with Technopole,” he explained.
“The channel is specialised, similar to how FG was in its early days, focusing on house, techno and new genres, with a wide variety of radio shows, DJ live sets and a playlist featuring both classic and cutting edge music,” he said.
“I’d say the channel is aimed at electronic music lovers. From early Warp records to the latest Skrillex, you got it all on Underground FG.”

Germany Calling (with some Warp tracks but almost certainly no Skrillex) joins a roster of DJs including mainstream stars Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold and Sander Van Doorn and alternative ‘underground’ DJs including M.A.N.D.Y., Jesse Voorn and Adam Beyer.
“The DJS we feature on Underground FG are either historical ‘big name’ scene DJs or underground DJs that might not have a sound that is “easy listening” enough for an FM broadcast,” Nicolas continued.
“But because today’s underground and mainstream scenes seem to be blending more and more together all the time, it’s getting hard to define who is underground or not, especially with all the niches of genre of the electronic music scene out there today.”
“Basically there are many criteria we use for selecting shows, with quality being the main show. And Germany Calling fits perfectly. We’re very happy to welcome Jonty and Fidelity to the FG team,” he said.
