Charlie Sloth on the importance of mobile tech in music

[Ellis_VF]

Mobile technology is constantly changing the way that we get, listen to and share music. With game changers like Spotify giving the music industry a big shake up. While some may view this upheavals with some trepidation, others are already embracing this technological revolution with open arms.

Cue Charlie Sloth, who has not only taken an interest in music on mobile, but also shown everyone how successful it can be. He was recently the MC at Vodafones 30^th Birthday gig which featured RUN DMC and Raleigh Richards.

The Vodafone blog caught up with him before the concert started to ask him about the role of Mobile in music. Read what he has to say here.

Once upon a time there was a thing called a "radio"... all the free music you could consume arrnaged in handy genres.

Somewhat paradoxically, the internet has seen a huge re-birth in the popularity of radio. Some mobile phones have FM tuners in them and some don't and people get quite worked up about those things. I remember when the Samsung Galaxy series went from the S3 to the S4 and the FM tuner was dropped. There was outrage.
