SUB/WAVE

SUB/WAVE positions itself as an actual radio station rather than a playlist service. Its defining rule is a single Icecast stream: everyone who tunes in hears the same track at the same moment, and there is no skip button or shuffle mode. That constraint is the product, recreating the shared, appointment-based feel of broadcast radio for an internet audience.

The station is run by an LLM-driven DJ that picks tracks and speaks between them. The player shows cover art, title, artist, album, and elapsed time, with a waveform tracking the audio. Two side drawers add context: a Timeline of queued and recently played tracks, and a Booth log capturing every station ID, time check, weather report, and link between songs the DJ has voiced.

The DJ is described as agentic, with cloned-voice personas, shows, skills, and guest co-hosts. The project is open source, and the site links to its GitHub repository alongside a setup guide and community section, so technically inclined listeners can inspect or run their own version.

It is aimed at listeners who want a lean-back, curated soundtrack without managing a queue, and at people curious about AI-hosted audio. Because the stream is live, you join a broadcast already in progress rather than starting from the beginning. Those who need on-demand control or specific track selection should look elsewhere.
