I really miss Shoutcast/Icecast being such an active part of my life. The quality is way down, and there's like 1/6th the channels there used to be. For electronica in particular, there was just so much. But there were also so many random niche stations!
SomaFM continues to be a great place for highly genre-d music. I make sure to give em money semi-regularly. Suburbs of Goa[1] is one of my favorite.

- soylentcola 4y agoThere are still quite a few though. I have several bookmarks on my normal PC and in AIMP on mobile. I never did "outgrow" my practice of using multiple bookmarked streaming stations as my daily "radio dial".
- bambataa 4y agoThere may not be as much Icecast stuff but internet radio is doing very well. Someone else has already mentioned nts.live (it has a huge range of stuff, more like a radio station) but other UK-based stations are balamii.com, supremefm.com and rinse.fm (Rinse used to be a pirate radio station but went legal). Internet radio stations are the go to for up to date music really.
