Lo-fi hiphop beats mixed with live police scanners
- ionwake 7y agoThis is great
- robinmayfair 7y agoLooks like it’s offline right now.
- Lowkeyloki 7y agoEmbrace of death, maybe?
- karlmageddon 7y agodefinitely :|
- Lowkeyloki 7y agoSF may be down but New York is up. I love the idea of this. Technology remix culture used to create a Big Mood. I'd like to request the addition of Chicago, please!
- Lowkeyloki 7y agoI was able to get New York to work, but then I foolishly switched to Portland. Now I can't get any of the scanners to work. It's just the music.
- karlmageddon 7y agoChicago, St. Louis, and Oakland are coming next deploy... If it ever comes back up. I love "Technology remix culture used to create a Big Mood". May I use this?
- Conlectus 7y agoreminds me a lot of http://youarelistening.to/ http://youarelistening.to/
- karlmageddon 7y agoYES! So glad someone else knows about this site. This was the main inspiration for it
- malingo 7y agoThat combo of ambient music and lo-fi radio transmission really reminds me of the Onion Moon Landing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIkHLO93lCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIkHLO93lCA (warning: lots of swearing)
- bigiain 7y agoHeh. I'm currently listening tho the Number Station channel there.
- ssorc 7y agoSimilar to Soma FM's SF 10-33 station: https://somafm.com/sf1033/ https://somafm.com/sf1033/ " Live fire/police scanner audio from San Francisco processed and mixed with ambient and experimental music. A surreal audio zeitgeist of the city."
- davidandgoliath 7y agoBeautiful.
- calciphus 7y agoI work at festivals from time to time. Listening to 10-33 reminds me of having the staff radio tuned to the medical channel when I am off duty at 4am. I immediately thought of it when I read the headline!
- karlmageddon 7y agoAuthor of the site here. It's currently experiencing the HN death cuddle which is why the audio is sporadic (if it's even up). I built this as a portfolio app since I'm switching to front-end development (aka this baby has a garbage back-end) and wasn't really expecting it to be shared. Glad people are enjoying it! It's inspired by Eric Eberhardt's youarelistening.to Also, if anyone in Los Angeles is looking for a front-end engineer... karl.puzon[at]gmail.com :)
- jcims 7y agoUsed to like to chill to youarelistening.to but so much of the music that is on it any more grating experimental stuff on the opposite end of 'relaxing' in the ambient spectrum. This one keeps coming up to night as a good case in point - https://soundcloud.com/mayazimmerman/you-i-cannot-walk-away-from https://soundcloud.com/mayazimmerman/you-i-cannot-walk-away-... Wouldn't be so bad if the next button wasn't also broken. Looking forward to your site coming back up to check out.
- lesdeuxmagots 7y agoAn old favorite combo i would use was similar. 1. live police scanner, typically sf 2. light thunderstorm sounds via rainymood.com 3. Blade Runner Blues Feels incredibly film noir.
- nemo1618 7y agoI remember the "original" rainymood pairing was with "The Fragrance of Dark Coffee:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMnrl0tmd3k "Houston Street" works great as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt524wGJFqs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt524wGJFqs

- marmshallow 7y agodank. this cures my itch while the OP is suffering downtime.
- Sendotsh 7y agoIf I could tune into these 3 combined on a 24hr loop as an internet radio station, I'd listen ever single day while coding. This is an amazing combo. I set the rain one to 50% volume and it balances perfectly with the other 2. Edit: It also works REALLY well with this instead of the Bladerunner music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebY7byYOwHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebY7byYOwHI
- toomanybeersies 7y agoThere's a disturbing amount of domestic violence calls on the Chicago police radio.
- fergie 7y ago
- tunnuz 7y agoInteresting, often while working I open apollo17.org and a Spotify playlist called Mellow Beats and play them together. It puts me in the right mood for coding.
- amrtn 7y agoThat was awesome, thanks!
- tuberelay 7y agofilipino air traffic control, a smattering of rain and some micro house does it for me!
- gatherer_nz 7y agoVery similar to a three-hour mix I often listen to while working: '3 HOURS BLADE RUNNER 2017 RAIN THUNDER & MUSIC with BLACKSCREEN' https://youtu.be/ArCqlpGVcIs https://youtu.be/ArCqlpGVcIs
- pssflops 7y agoThe scanlines and moving static are a very nice touch. Good work on getting front-end experience.
- karlmageddon 7y agoThank you very much!
