- Online – SomaFM cliqhop idm is an internet-only radio station and is not broadcast on FM, AM/MW, LW, DAB Digital Radio, DAB+ or HD Radio.
SomaFM cliqhop idm focuses on intelligent dance music, experimental techno and digitally built electronic sounds. The station’s own shorthand — blips, beeps and beats — gets close to the mood, but the real strength is how detailed the programming is. This is electronic music with rhythm, but also with odd corners, tiny edits, abstract melodies and machine-made personality.
The channel sits closer to Aphex Twin, Autechre, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, µ-Ziq, Black Dog, Cex, Ulrich Schnauss and Album Leaf than to mainstream dance radio. That means the music can be glitchy, intricate, melodic, awkward, warm, cold, beautiful or deliberately strange, often within the same hour. Calling it just dance or techno undersells it badly.
Based in San Francisco, SomaFM has built its reputation on human-curated internet radio channels with strong musical identities. cliqhop idm fits that perfectly because it is not trying to be a broad electronic hits stream. It is for listeners who want IDM and experimental techno selected with taste, history and curiosity rather than algorithmic sludge.
Notable Presenters & Shows: cliqhop idm is music-directed by Rusty Hodge, the founder of SomaFM. SomaFM notes that the channel began as more of a group project, with DJ Zach initially driving the playlists before Brendan B. and Hodge took over; Hodge is now the main programmer, while Zach and Brendan still help point him towards new artists. The station is not built around conventional breakfast or drive-time presenter shows; its identity comes from continuous hand-curation of IDM, glitch, experimental techno and laptop electronics.
