It was a bit of good timing for Tony Miller when two underground music scenes he liked intersected in 2011.
"I was becoming increasingly interested in the U.K.'s pirate radio scene, and I thought I could use my Web engineering skills to make something similar. I was also getting really into Japan's netlabel scene and thought this could be an interesting place to showcase some of that."
Later that year, Miller created Datafruits.fm, an online radio station in the mold of Britain's Rinse.fm and Sub.fm, but with a Japan-centric sound. Miller's site streams DJ sets from artists operating within Japan's Internet-based netlabel scene. Listeners can tune in from the site's main page, or download shows later.
