1. FreeCodeCamp Radio
Welcome to Code Radio. 24/7 music designed for coding.
Always seems to have a warm and productive soundtrack, so it does it’s job very well! The website has a nice animated graphic and informs you of the currently playing artist. For developers, this is a great find.
2. Plaza One
Nightwave Plaza is a free 24/7 online vaporwave radio station. The broadcast also includes some future funk and experimental genres. We hope you enjoy.
This one is a bit more synthwave oriented. Expect to hear the likes of chillhop, lofi, synthwave, vaporwave etc.
3. Lofi Girl
Soothing lofi music, gentle, relaxing rhythms are perfectly suitable for a chill evening with a teapot or work sessions that need high concentration. Lofi or Lo-Fi (short for the phrase Low Fidelity) are music with low sound quality, in contrast to Hi-Fi (High Fidelity) because it contains many technical flaws such as distorted sound, hit notes. wrong, or noise. These errors are purposefully combined, giving a feeling of flying, dreamy.
One of the most popular LoFi phenomenons on the internet. Some smart station uses LoFi Girl as their LoFi mascot and plays a very appropriate selection of LoFi beats.
4. Chillsky Chillhop Radio
Lofi Hip Hop & Chilled beats 24/7. Youtube free, advert free beats always available here or via your favourite media platform.
Just good chillout music I would say. It’s not ambient, mostly soft beats and good melodies. There is the odd interstitial but it’s not too bad.
5. Soma FM Groove Salad
A nicely chilled plate of ambient/downtempo beats and grooves. Downtempo and chillout electronica featuring artists such as Kruder & Dorfmeister, Fila Brazillia, dZihan and Kamien, Afterlife, Zero Seven, Nightmares On Wax, Shantel, Groove Armada and artists on Pork Recordings, Waveform Records and Cafe del Mar recordings.
A little more downtempo electronica than ambient. With beats, stronger leads and melodies, probably more suited to someone who's active but wants a chill soundtrack behind them.
6. NTS - Slow Focus
Meditative, relaxing and beatless: ambient, drone and ragas. Tune in and zone out with NTS' compendium of the beatless and transcendental. Calming sounds to help you focus or drift away.
This is an interesting one where the audio stream comprises a selection of music from the NTS archives where they use AI to trawl back through their broadcast catalogue and select suitable music. So it all falls under the relaxing, chill, ambient genre.
7. Hunter FM LoFi
Perfect beats for studying and working, or even relaxing and falling asleep.
This is a great reliable LoFi chillout stream. If you’re looking for a classic “LoFi Girl” style internet radio stream then this is the closest thing you’ll find.
8. Nature Radio Sleep
Only Relax And Good Vibes
Ok this one is more on the whitenoise spectrum of stations. Specifically focused on sounds of nature, you’ll hear a variety of nature recordings like thunder, rain, sea, forest, streams, beaches etc.
9. Ambient FM
We are a solar-powered radio station, broadcasting from Tonopah, Nevada. Our exclusive human-crafted soundscapes are designed to echo the mystique of the high desert. Our Mission is to... ...spark creativity, and enhance your overall well-being. ...be a beacon of cultural and economic growth for our home base, Tonopah. ...challenge the boundaries of traditional radio.
One of the more ambient stations (surprise surprise!). What’s especially cool about it (besides the perfect domain name) is that it’s fully solar powered and runs in the desert of Nevada!
10. AM Ambient
Bright and positive ambient music the day-time counterpart to our sister station Ambient Sleeping Pill
Bright and positive ambient music sounds a little like an oxymoron... but it’s true. This station is a little more upbeat than the others, suiting a morning time wind-up or a more active chillout/focus session.
11. Loca FM Ambient
Spanish electronic music station
This is ambient music of the electronic variety. Sweeping soundscapes, and deep textures. Very good background ambience music.
12. Moon Phase Radio

This has been around for well over a decade and offers two stations - Ambient and Chill. The website is dedicated to Ambient music and has a well maintained blog section. Another reliable ambient station that will serve you well.
13. Ambinature Radio
Ambi Nature Radio (Sleep, Relaxation & Meditation) is a station with the focus on providing natural relaxation sounds. We don’t play any music, just let your mind be free while listening to the most relaxing nature sounds of the earth.
What do you get when you cross ambient with nature? Ambinature of course!
