Any online radio stations you like

[Scary Guy]

So I've been listening to the same few stations for years.  Some are admittedly better than others but I figured I'd list my favorites.

No commercial interruption:
1. http://www.detroitindustrial.org is DJ Bwahaha's station out of Westland and he's been broadcasting for about 20 years.  Used to be a podcast format too with @Pulse State that I even guest DJed on a few times.
2. http://www.decennialgothica.com is a station that mostly does symphonic metal and what I call "fantasy metal." Big fan but only the secondary stream seems to work and it's been that way for a while now, at least as far as I can tell.
3. https://www.slayradio.org specializes in chiptunes and things you'd hear on a C64 MIDI sequencer.

4. https://somafm.com is a guilty pleasure but some of the stations are alright.

Minimal commercial interruption:
1. I found out about Laut.fm through Radio Suspekt when that existed.  You can still do a search for it and a few entries pop up but it's long dead now which sucks because it was the most cyberpunk radio to have ever existed.  Laut.fm has other stations that are pretty good on it though.  My two favorites are Panorama 80 which is new wave / Italio disco, and Klangwelt which is classic and modern industrial music.  Despite being based in Germany a vast majority of the music (and commercials) are in English.

In its own class is https://www.sanctuaryradio.com which is kind of a guilty pleasure.  They have three streams, the main one which pumps out industrial, a classic new wave stream, and a clubmix one.  The first two say the station ID and beg for money every other song, the clubmix one just says the station ID every so often.  The thing is I've heard DJ Rob tried to throw all other online DJs under the bus forever ago, so I'm not a huge fan because of that.

Historical stations now gone:
1. Audiotech Live was more of a podcast (before they were called that) out of Howell by Crashsite68/Ed.  I DJed on this station once or twice too.
2. IPM (In Perpetual Motion) Radio was another station with a podcast (again, before they were called that) which streamed out of Ferndale and run by Macross.  They also did NOT get along with ATL.
3? I can't remember if http://thegleek.com had a station or not, but if not I feel like he should have.  Fun fact, he's the guy who really got me into DJing way back in 2002.

Also why do half these stations seem to hate HTTPS?  I get that they're old but it's $currentyear so they should get with the times!

okay this is my new favorite thing.

https://rekt.network and https://nightride.fm are both great (among the other stations that don't have their own websites on the same network.) They both also have their own IRC channels as well on irc.rekt.network with a pretty chill community.  I plan on DJing on Rekt soon too.  Vosto has been very welcoming and we get along pretty well ever since he wandered into #cyberpunk on Libera.chat (which has a noticeable lack of actual cyberpunks.)

 

Some others I've come across:
I forgot The Tattoo Music Lounge on CaveRadio.  I haven't heard from Todd in a while, I hope he's doing okay.  (podcast)
http://www.cyberage.cx hosted by Tony from DBSP Records (I sorta knew him a long time ago.) (industrial)

https://tormentedradio.com though the site seems like it's in pain (industrial)
https://plaza.one (vaporwave)

https://hardradio.com has been around forever (heavy metal)

https://www.slayradio.org (c64 remixes)

https://nolife-radio.com which has a variety.

 

That's about it.  I'll do more updates later.

Oh, if you want a good terminal client for internet radio streams pyradio is fantastic.  The dev is super cool and even took a few of my suggestions too.  Although someone made a terminal player for Nightride as well, which is also worth checking out and very nicely done.  Also another terminal player for Nightride which I haven't tested or tried out, but it's neat there are two of them.  Unfortunately the one only connects to Rekt stations and the other may only do Nightride, but they are open source so do as you wish with them I guess.

I mentioned this post and alcor in #rekt mentioned https://darkambientradio.de which is exactly what the domain name describes.  So that lives in my favoriets.csv file now too.
