StaticBeats — Weeks and weeks worth of IDM & Ambient tunes

Friday, June 24th, 2005

I’ve been listening to the music on StaticBeats.com for the last several months. Their choice of music is quite excellent and varied– mostly IDM, but the station delves into Hip-hop, Ambient, & industrial tunes, convering a very wide range of sounds.

Their playlist is extensive— 90% of the music is totally new to me, and I rarely hear any song repeats after listening for weeks on end.

Each song includes a convenient link to the Artist’s or Label’s webpage, as well as a link to the album on Amazon.
