Soma FM DEF CON Radio

DEF CON Radio is a channel within SomaFM, a listener-supported, commercial-free internet radio network based in San Francisco, California. SomaFM operates over 30 distinct channels spanning genres from ambient and downtempo to electronic, jazz, and alternative, with music hand-selected by the network's DJs and music directors. DEF CON Radio serves as the official year-round music channel associated with DEF CON, the prominent annual hacker convention held in Las Vegas each year since 1993. The channel provides continuous music programming described as suited for hacking, reflecting the culture and interests of the information security and hacker communities that attend the convention. During DEF CON events, the channel provides the official soundtrack broadcast throughout the conference venue. Outside of the convention period, it operates as a continuous stream available to listeners worldwide. SomaFM itself is funded entirely by listener donations, operating without advertising, and has built a reputation as a leading independent internet radio broadcaster since its founding in the early 2000s.
