Germany did not just build one radio station for people obsessed with the 1990s, it built an entire network of them. 90s90s Techno is the genre-specific channel for anyone whose 90s nostalgia points straight at four-on-the-floor beats rather than pop or grunge.
A Sister Station That Outgrew Its Sibling
90s90s launched in 2016 as a companion to Regiocast's existing 80s80s network, betting that a decade later, listeners would be just as hungry for 90s nostalgia as they had been for 80s revival, according to the station's history. The bet paid off fast enough that the network opened dedicated studios in Berlin in spring 2017, and it now runs more than 30 curated channels, splitting the decade into genre-specific and even region-specific streams rather than forcing everything into one general playlist.
Built for a Specific Kind of Fan
Techno gets its own dedicated feed within that lineup, sitting alongside channels for house, trance, Britpop, hip-hop and even a station built entirely around the Loveparade era. The techno channel connects to Tom Wax, a producer who also hosts 90s90s DE:CODED, a video series that breaks down the actual production techniques behind 90s hits. That kind of curatorial detail is what separates 90s90s Techno from a generic decade playlist: it is built by people who understand why those tracks sound the way they do, not just that they were popular at the time.
From Local Signal to National Reach
What started as an IP-only stream expanded through DAB+ in Leipzig by 2018, and by January 2023 the main 90s90s program reached listeners nationwide through Germany's second digital terrestrial multiplex, alongside livestream access through smart speakers and apps. The techno channel rides on that same national infrastructure, giving a genre-specific stream the kind of reach usually reserved for general-format stations.
Tune In
For anyone who wants their 90s nostalgia delivered strictly on the dancefloor, 90s90s Techno is built exactly for that. Fire it up on Radio Shuffle and let the decade's four-on-the-floor beats take over.
