Yeah, it's my go to "heads down" music. It's the only mobile app I've ever paid for[0]. Wish I was in SF to celebrate with everyone.

Your comment made me stop and calculate and I was surprised to find I’m similar. When I really need to focus groove salad has always been my thing. Sometimes I find myself reluctant to putting it on because I know I’ll get sucked into the task and not surface again for a long time.
Yes! There is also a Groove Salad Classic channel now too.
Yep. Same for about 20+ years. IndiePop generally my station while programming.
After over 20 years of nonstop streaming, Proton Radio is evolving!
Starting August 26th, the 24/7 live stream will officially shut down, and all Proton Radio shows will move to YouTube.

I found them many years ago because Slackware shipped and still comes with "/usr/bin/soma". I still listen and send soma a few $ to keep them going!

Besides SomaFM I would also recommend https://kexp.org/, https://www.yourclassical.org and FIP radio under Directs section of Radio France app.
YourClassical also has monthly stories for kids podcast https://www.yourclassical.org/podcast/yourclassical-storytim...

I have been listening to groove salad since high school. I was happy to run into the team at defcon and express my gratitude. Also, if you love the station, don't forget to donate/support[1] them.

Congrats SomaFM! It also brings back memories of Monkey Radio, no longer active.

I've been using SomaFM for some time now since I saw someone mentioned it on HN a bit back. Synphaera Radio is one of the few sources of music I can listen to that helps me focus rather than being a distraction. Most of the music is the perfect amount of background noise to prevent my mind from wondering.
Discovered groove salad from watching Notch take part in ludum dare game jams. I quickly adopted it as my coding music as well. So great to see they're still going.
First fell in love with Groove Salad.
100% #1 BEST Christmas/Holidays playlists. Topped off with 4 hours of a "Auld Lang Syne" playlist starting at Midnight NYE!

I love their SF radio with police chatter - I can't explain, but it's just so engrossing. Genuinely my favourite.
Also, I learned about SomaFM in the past from HN too :)

https://www.bassdrive.com/ has been going longer! ;P
So much nostalgia going back to SomaFM. I discovered a lot of music from this site over the years. A good reminder to tune back in.
Still have my mug from Y2K (groove salad, secret agent, and drone zone tiles)! Thank you Rusty!
If you want to cool down after a bad trip nothing beats Drone Zone
Love these folks. Here's to 25 more years of Groove Salad!
Big congrats. Listener from the beginning
Not to be confused with Soma Records.
