Local radio show
There is a locan NPR radio show that I listen to most nights called “Electro Lounge” that comes on at Tuesday- Friday 9p-11p and Saturday- 10p - 12p EST. Nice chill music. You can check out a stream of the show if you have a fast enought connection. Not always the best, but usually has some really good stuff on it.
They call it “Down Tempo” which is a great term
