Lo-fi hiphop beats mixed with live police scanners

SF may be down but New York is up. I love the idea of this. Technology remix culture used to create a Big Mood. I'd like to request the addition of Chicago, please!

I was able to get New York to work, but then I foolishly switched to Portland. Now I can't get any of the scanners to work. It's just the music.

Looks like it’s offline right now.

Embrace of death, maybe?

Similar to Soma FM's SF 10-33 station:

https://somafm.com/sf1033/

" Live fire/police scanner audio from San Francisco processed and mixed with ambient and experimental music. A surreal audio zeitgeist of the city."

YES! So glad someone else knows about this site. This was the main inspiration for it

Author of the site here. It's currently experiencing the HN death cuddle which is why the audio is sporadic (if it's even up). I built this as a portfolio app since I'm switching to front-end development (aka this baby has a garbage back-end) and wasn't really expecting it to be shared.

Glad people are enjoying it! It's inspired by Eric Eberhardt's youarelistening.to

Also, if anyone in Los Angeles is looking for a front-end engineer... karl.puzon[at]gmail.com :)
