n5MD is SomaFM's channel devoted to the San Francisco label of the same name, a home for what it calls 'emotional experiments in music'. The playlist blends ambient, post-rock, IDM and modern classical — music that sits between the headphone and the heart. SomaFM itself has been listener-supported and commercial-free since Rusty Hodge founded it in 2000; this channel is its most contemplative corner.
