laut.fm – SoundaufsOhr

The web radio station SoundaufsOhr is part of the German network laut.fm and focuses on a curated selection of current pop music and related genres. The programme is characterised by a mix of internationally known chart acts such as Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Imagine Dragons or Sting, combined with a deliberate look at alternative sounds. Musical focal points include artists such as Greta Van Fleet, the British post-punk pioneers Echo & the Bunnymen, and the alternative rock band Evanescence. This selection deliberately breaks away from purely format-radio-oriented music choices and specifically integrates hip-hop influences as well as German-language productions by acts such as badmomzjay or Wa22ermann.

In the regularly broadcast show Rotation, the station offers insights into its current playlist, which covers a wide spectrum from Five Finger Death Punch to the US indie pop duo HAIM. Technical distribution is purely digital via the laut.fm network, with listeners gaining access to the live stream via smartphone app, browser or voice assistants such as Alexa. The station does not use classic editorial presenting in the linear sense and instead relies on a dynamic sequence of tracks that can be accessed directly via a streaming URL. With its focus on genre-spanning pop productions, SoundaufsOhr appeals to an audience that, beyond strict genre boundaries, seeks a broad, modern flow of music.
