Digitally imported s 15th anniversary progressive special mixed by shane collins
Digitally Imported (DI) is an Internet radio broadcaster playing various types of electronic music including house, trance, progressive, techno, eurodance, drum and bass, and dubstep, across 91 hand curated channels. It was founded in December 1999 as a hobby project by Ari Shohat in his Binghamton University dorm room and was one of the first Internet radio stations. It has often been listed as one of the top electronic dance music radio stations online and was awarded Best Global Radio Station at the International Dance Music Awards in March 2010. It also offers streaming radio services of other, non-electronic dance music genres — such as pop hits, jazz and rock — across nearly 300 channels through its sister networks, RadioTunes, JAZZRADIO, ROCKRADIO, and ClassicalRadio.
