Sticker Pack

Description

Ten die-cut stickers for your laptop lid. Late nights are for experiments: long mixes, ambient sets and the occasional field recording. Accessibility matters to us, so every show gets a transcript and every page works with a keyboard.

Small details

The chat is moderated by humans, which keeps it friendly, weird and welcoming. Our engineers obsess over latency because a stream that stutters is a stream people switch off. We test new segments live, keep what works and quietly retire what does not.

Every show on ArrayFM starts with a simple rule: play the track you would send to a friend at 2am. Some weeks the playlist is meticulously planned; other weeks it is a group chat argument that somehow turns into a show. Listeners tell us they tune in while they code, study, drive, cook and occasionally while they should be sleeping. Our engineers obsess over latency because a stream that stutters is a stream people switch off.

Morning shows are for energy, weather, traffic and the one story everyone at work will talk about. The studio is small, the monitors are loud and the coffee machine has its own on-call rotation. We measure success in hours listened, not clicks, which keeps us honest about what actually matters.

Where to find us

Late nights are for experiments: long mixes, ambient sets and the occasional field recording. The chat is moderated by humans, which keeps it friendly, weird and welcoming. Accessibility matters to us, so every show gets a transcript and every page works with a keyboard. The archive now holds more than two thousand hours of shows, all searchable by track and guest.

Late nights are for experiments: long mixes, ambient sets and the occasional field recording. A good transition is invisible: you only notice it when it goes wrong, like a page that flashes white between clicks. We keep the stream running around the clock, which means someone is always awake, caffeinated and slightly too excited about a B-side. A radio station is really a promise: that there will be something good playing whenever you tune in.

A station is only as good as its worst transition.

We learned early that a stable stream matters more than a fancy one. We keep a strict no-autoplay policy on the site: you press play, and then we never interrupt you. Every Friday we look at the numbers, and every Friday the numbers say people want more synthwave. Local artists make up almost a third of what we play, and that number keeps going up.

The tech stack

We believe the music should never stop just because you clicked a link. A radio station is really a promise: that there will be something good playing whenever you tune in. Radio has always been about company, and that has not changed just because the transmitter is now a rack of servers. Good radio sounds effortless, but every minute on air has at least ten minutes of prep behind it.

Our engineers obsess over latency because a stream that stutters is a stream people switch off. We keep the site lightweight on purpose, so it loads fast on a train, a tired laptop or a phone at 5% battery. The best feedback we ever got was a single line: “you made my deploy go faster”. When a listener sends a track we have never heard, it goes straight into the next hour.

The short version

Nothing beats the feeling of a track dropping at exactly the right moment and the chat exploding with fire emojis. We test new segments live, keep what works and quietly retire what does not. Every Friday we look at the numbers, and every Friday the numbers say people want more synthwave.
