datafruits.fm: radio in diretta da Seattle

Aspeeetta...

Spolveriamo la puntina…

Seattle, United States

datafruits.fm

Owned by everyone who shows up.

Happy hardcore, chiptune and whatever lands next.

Tony Miller started Datafruits in 2012 as a home for internet radio and netlabel people, and it has stayed cooperatively owned ever since — a self-governing collective that votes on its own direction, with volunteer moderators and a code of conduct doing the rest. It has carried no sponsorship and no advertising in all that time; listeners and artists fund it instead. Members are scattered across the United States, Tokyo and Seoul, and the crew wrote the station's software themselves and open-sourced it as StreamPusher.

The charter is blunt: little to no curation, and any song can be played. In practice that means happy hardcore running into ambient running into chiptune, with shows like earthworks, Krankent Weekly Mix, craft_radio, Virtual Reality Club and Vibe It Out held by the hosts who made them. Around the stream sit a forum, a wiki, and SHRIMPO, the compilation contests the community enters.
