About

fringefm is a small, slow index of Spotify rotations. We sort them three ways: by mood, by activity, by era. Cross those and you land on a single playlist for the hour you're actually in.

We sort by mood, by activity, and by era — vintage (reissue territory, pre-1990 lean), modern (post-2010 underground), and timeless (a cross-decade mix).

Every playlist is hand-curated, so the index grows slowly. You may see some moods, activities or eras greyed out on the dial — those are combinations we haven't filed a playlist for yet. We're adding new ones all the time.
