For many, Eurotic TV was the soundtrack to a life on the internet before the internet was everything: a background channel kept on while gaming, reading, or browsing the web, providing unexpected musical epiphanies and unintentionally hilarious moments. While the satellite era may have closed a decade ago, its legend as one of the weirdest and most beloved cult television shows in modern European broadcasting history lives on.
Every episode of the ETV Eurotic TV show featured a continuous, lo-fi funk or smooth jazz score. Think porn bass without the cheesy wah-wah pedal. Instead, it was heavy on Roland synthesizers, slap bass, and breathy saxophone. These tracks have since been sampled by vaporwave artists and lo-fi hip-hop producers, who have turned the "ETV sound" into a nostalgic micro-genre.
