Greetings everyone,
Due to ongoing health issues I’m no longer able to continue running and maintaining this station. I’ve really enjoyed working on this project over the last 5 years, and I’ve been absolutely blown away by your amazing feedback and financial generosity. But I’ve reached a point where I have to put myself first and, as they say, all good things must come to an end.
As of the 31st December 2023 (Australian time) normal broadcasting was concluded. A recorded message will be played throughout January 2024 to prompt everyone with media players to update their connection details. After that all streaming will cease.
I thought very carefully about finding a new owner for the station and have concluded that doing so would be misguided. The last thing the ambient music world needs is another silent station. It needs community and connection. So if you have time and energy please please please forget about building internet radio stations. The space is already saturated. Put your energy into projects like a discord server, a web forum, or even a Facebook group. Share Bandcamp links. Swap Spotify playlists. Buy your favourite artists merch and post selfies with it on socials. Make it about the people and not the background noise you have on while you work. That’s what ambient music really needs.
If you’re looking for an alternative station to listen to, I highly recommend Soma FM’s Drone Zone.
Thank you all for your support and I wish you all the very best in the future.
Take care, Joel
