The Digitally Imported Dial 19: Future Beats - LessThan3 (blog)

We're back with our weekly series with Digitally Imported , The Digitally Imported Dial , where we highlight some of the best channels and shows available on the Web’s premier electronic music streaming radio platform. Every channel is curated by hand, so we’ll hear from the men and women behind the scenes how they bring us the music we love. We spoke with the channel’s curators, Lueda, Shola, and Phil of Made Of Chalk and Earmilk , to find out exactly what the amorphous “future” term means to them and who some of their favorite artists are in the space. Lueda, Shola, and Phil’s early musical influences are varied and complementary:. Lueda: I grew up with pop, electronic, classical and folk music in Albania (Europe). When I first heard Für Elise by Beethoven, my life changed forever. I began playing piano at age 7 because of it, which marks my official, long love affair with music. I somehow managed to turn my love for music into a full-time job. Music and the Internet changed my life when I moved to Canada--they allowed me to connect with others across the globe at a time when I was a lonely teen in a foreign land. Source: blog.lessthan3.com
