Listening to The Dark Zone on @somafm.com is like having the brooding score of a Twin Peaks episode as the soundtrack of my life SomaFM.com/darkzone

The Dark Zone from SomaFM

The darker side of deep ambient. Music for staring into the Abyss.

In September 1958, Columbia threw a jazz party at the Plaza Hotel. Ralph Ellison wrote afterward to Albert Murray about "poor, evil, lost little Miles Davis" and his band. "These cats have gotten lost, man. They're trying to get hold of something by fucking up the blues." 🤨 youtu.be/_PrJhAERZlQ?...

Spacebar was the best, not to mention the whole Cyborganic community

Listening to this old collab between @robertrichmusic.bsky.social and Steve Roach. Been a long time since I played this one. Released 1990.

Has some utterly sublime amazing tracks and one I don’t care for much. :-)

Just wanted to say, I absolutely love you guys' work, been listening to Underground 80s regularly since like 14 years ago when I stumbled upon it looking for stuff to listen to while I did school assignments, cheers from Brazil, keep the spirit of what the internet was meant to be alive!

I’ve been listening to @somafm.com for 25 years — first discovered in college, and it’s been with me ever since.

From Space Station Soma to Groove Salad, these sounds shaped my deep love for electronic music.

I had to be at the 25th Anniversary party — here are a few moments I captured. ❤️ #SomaFM

Not impressed with this show. the “total darkness” gimmick is tired. Who wants to go to a show where you can’t see the artists? Or no visuals/lights at all?

Waiting for Aurechre to go on. This is the warm up DJ. 1990 called and wants its techno back!!!

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

More details please on "who" is reporting these

SomaFM @somafm.com · 18d

"The drones were sighted in the late evening above the airport, a police spokesman told newspaper Bild. But because it was dark, the size and types of the drones could not be determined, he added."

Wonder who is seeing these? Just citizen reports or ATC staff?
