My defaults are Drone Zone, Synphaera, and The Trip.

These three are very similar to what Defcon sounded like before around 2023 when they started adding more generic hip-hop influenced beats.

Defcon can be alright, but about 25% of their playlist will suddenly take me out of a flow state due to vocals or some obnoxious rhythmic detail.

SomaFM is the best! They now have a Groove Salad Classic channel which plays all the great stuff they _were_ playing in the early to mid 2000's.

I used to work to SomaFM all the time. Then took a break I guess? Then somehow totally forgot it even existed. So thanks for the reminder.

I love the music on defcon but could really do without the sporadic interruptions. At first it was ok but gets old after a while.

Could not love SomaFM more! The past few xmas holiday seasons I've been streaming "Department Store Christmas" which is hugely wacky retro Christmas music. Somehow I'd never heard "What Ever Happened to Christmas" a Jimmy Webb song made famous by Frank Sinatra. It was kind of life changing.

I find that the Secret Agent channel is great for my focus nowadays. I recall listening to Groove Salad back in my draftsman years, from 2000-2002. I am still amazed at how SomaFM has continued to exist.

I've been listening to Space Station to flow for more than 20 years.

I was a bit annoyed when Somafm got blocked on our corporate proxy
