The beat goes on

Groove Salad, served slowly
Groove Salad gives an ordinary room a softer pulse. SomaFM’s channel moves through ambient and downtempo electronica, with the broadcaster doing the choosing. Open the stream and let it accompany something unhurried: cooking, reading, or looking out of the window.

Find a beat of your own
Browse the Free Music Archive by mood or genre and follow an artist you have never heard of. This is an invitation to listen beyond the familiar queue. If a track inspires a project of your own, check its individual licence: the archive’s music does not all come with the same reuse terms.
