Even music is a private affair these days as people sit at home and stream their own playlists. But if Spotify suggestions are starting to sound too uninspiring, then online radio station GDS.FM is the perfect antidote. The channel started streaming 24 hours a day from the living room of founder Christian Gamp in 2014, before moving to a dedicated broadcasting bar in 2017. The music itself is genre-busting, defying all categorization: expect everything from rave to hip hop to indie to folk and more. The one thing that holds it together is a desire to go against the grain: the tracklists are put together by real people, a world away from AI, user analysis and click rates. The all-day lineup includes playlists, DJ sets and live concerts, and chat is kept to a minimum – it’s all about good music. At the Cee Cee office the station has been a firm favorite for years, with an unobtrusive sound that never approaches muzak. If you want to break the silence without disturbing the peace, GDS is right on your wavelength. (Text: Sven Hausherr / Photos: Jasmin Frei, GDS Radio & Mathyas Kurmann)
