StillStream Radio

StillStream is a live ambient internet radio, probably one of the best. It’s playing real quality ambient music, performed by a list of very talented artists.

The most important thing with StillStream is the “Live” word, meaning that a lot of shows are on the schedule, run by Palancar, Scott Turner and Stephen Philips at this time. Often some live music is performed, making every show something really special.

But what is making a real difference with other radios that you may listen, is the people behind it. Those guys are real ambient musicians, crazy and really fun ! During the Live shows you can tune in their IRC channel to discuss with the “operators” as well with ambient music fans from all around the world.

Most of the time the night shows are running much more longer than planned, and that usually there that all those fun and crazy things happen, on the chat and with the music !

Be sure to tune in to give it a try, you’ll soon be like me, addicted !
