Groove Salad was SomaFM's second channel, and it remains the San Francisco web network's best-known doorway. SomaFM launched in February 2000 under founder Rusty Hodge as a listener-supported, commercial-free service; Groove Salad is its chilled plate of ambient beats and downtempo grooves — spacey electronica, slow breaks and late-night textures sequenced for working, reading or drifting. This listing carries the 128k MP3 stream, the classic way a generation first heard it.
