Hearts of Space is a pioneering weekly radio program that has shaped ambient and electronic music discovery for decades. Since its inception, the show has championed "space music"—a contemplative sonic aesthetic spanning ambient, electronic, experimental, and atmospheric genres. As the world's longest-running program of its kind, Hearts of Space has become an essential platform for electronic artists seeking to reach audiences interested in immersive, texture-driven soundscapes.
Under the creative direction of Stephen Hill, the show curates a distinctive blend of synthesizer-based compositions, ethereal electronic productions, and experimental soundscapes that define the ambient genre. Hearts of Space has consistently elevated electronic music beyond dance floors, establishing space music as a legitimate and influential category within electronic music culture. The program's influential playlist curation continues to introduce listeners to emerging and established artists working in ambient, drone, and experimental electronic music.
