About the Music on DEF CON Radio:

DEF CON is one of the world's largest annual hacker conventions, held every year in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since 2013, SomaFM has provided the music for the DEF CON Chill room. That theme continues with SomaFM broadcasting this special year-round stream from San Francisco, hosted by the DJs who entertain the DEF CON chill room this year in Vegas.

SomaFM is supported entirely by our listeners

Our 2025 fundraising is running behind schedule. If you enjoy our broadcasts, we would appreciate it if you would make a donation right now. Your support keeps us on the air and commercial-free.

We still need to raise $16,865 this month (or $1,880 a day for the next 9 days) to meet our monthly budget. Can you help?

We also have premiums like Shirts and Mugs available via the SomaFM Premium Store.
