Frequencies & locations:
- Online – SomaFM Groove Salad is an internet-only radio station and is not broadcast on FM, AM/MW, LW, DAB Digital Radio, DAB+ or HD Radio.
SomaFM Groove Salad focuses on downtempo and chillout electronica with a warm, spacious sound. The station blends ambient layers, relaxed breakbeats, dubby grooves, soft synths and late-night electronic textures, making it a strong choice for working, relaxing, reading or keeping music on in the background without it becoming bland.
The playlist has a proper identity rather than just a vague chill label. SomaFM highlights artists such as Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fila Brazillia, dZihan & Kamien, Afterlife, Zero 7, Nightmares on Wax, Shantel and Groove Armada, which gives the station its sweet spot: laid-back electronic music with depth, groove and a slightly smoky after-hours feel.
Based in San Francisco, SomaFM has built its reputation on hand-curated internet radio channels with strong musical personalities. Groove Salad is a clean example of that approach. It is not chasing chart trends or throwing random ambient tracks into a queue; it is shaped around a consistent downtempo mood that has made the channel one of SomaFM’s best-known streams.
Notable Presenters & Shows: Groove Salad is music-directed by Rusty Hodge, the founder, General Manager and Program Director of SomaFM. The station is not built around conventional presenter-led breakfast or drive-time shows; the main attraction is Hodge’s long-running curation of ambient, downtempo and chillout electronica across a continuous SomaFM channel.
