This 'Sheeranfication' was a far cry from my childhood growing up with late night shows such as Donal Dineen’s Small Hours to educate and expand musical taste.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEventually I discovered digital radio and NTS+DDR shows that presented the eclecticism I’d missed. I regularly discovered music, both new and old, that blew my mind, and radio once again acted as a companion in lonely times. ‘Twilight Transmission’ is a tribute to those days when commercial radio here had variety and space that catered to different tastes.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMusically, the album is influenced by trip-hop era Portishead, Boards of Canada, post-dubstep, jazzy 1990s hip-hop production, William Basinski, Tim Hecker’s ‘\u003cem\u003eRadio Amor\u003c\/em\u003e’ and Madvillian.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecently, Chósta was named in the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIrish Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e50 People to Watch in 2023\u003c\/em\u003e list.
