NTS Radio

[Threshers_Flail]

NTS is great! They're v good for giving up and comers shows, few mates have been on the Manchester channel.

 

[rutabowa]

Sound quality is top too. They have a seperate sound engineer controlling it live all the time, not just the DJ like most online radio stations. they obviously have a bit of money behind it.

Netil Radio is also worth checking out, similar setup and range.

 

[chemn]

Ooh, that does sound interesting. Any idea how I might find it (e.g. roughly when was it broadcast)?

Just google 'NTS Time is away'

 

[rutabowa]

ooh what do you know, we had a show on Netil too. (last hour only).

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, sorry, more meant specifically the London Docklands episode.

As above with 'docklands'

I was told it was hard to search, so assumed that meant it wasn't easily googleable!

I refuse to take responsibility for this! (Even though, yes, it was my assumption... )

 

[chemn]

The removal of the thumbnails was a pretty minor gripe, in honesty... Sorry for making it sound harder than it actually is

 

[Lord Camomile]

Heh, all good, I have indeed found it, so it's all primed for me to now forget about it for three weeks

Anyway, back to the point; definitely grateful for those who recommended the station, it is indeed jolly good

 

[chemn]

I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you get round to it I particularly enjoyed the bit where they describe how proud working class people were of their front gardens, and how they changed when everyone was forced to move from their homes.

I got recommended NTS the other week when I asked what was playing in a shop... I couldn't work out how to use it on my phone and found some bits of things on YouTube instead.

Added to the to do properly list

 

[tufty79]

Got it! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'll be honest, wasn't expecting to hear Prefab Sprout (Cars and Girls) on this station

 

[Threshers_Flail]

I dunno where to start recommending shows but I really enjoyed listening to Mafalda's Tropic of Love this weekend.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

Haven't listened yet but this will surely be quality

Awe w/ Laurel Halo 11th January 2021

Playing Straight Jazz, Ambient, Minimalism. Awe is something you feel when confronted with forces beyond your control: nature, the cosmos, chaos, human error, hallucinations.

Ok, I was expecting Ronan Keating even less!

 

[moody]

great station, been listening for a while.

one of my favs on there is channeling which is all a mixture of mostly obscure trippy shit that's not too in your face.

Channeling w/ Ivan Smagghe & Nathan Gregory Wilkins

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Moxie for house and techno along with trevor jackson (playgroup records)

This was on last night, was great! New discovery for me

I go to NTS for Ross Allen because I like living in the past and trying to relive the days of GLR

There is a lot of Prefab Sprout on the breakfast show

I've just started listening to NTS occasionally and have taken in a couple of his shows, which I've enjoyed... but he's basically Gilles Peterson.

I love GP too. It was GP, Ross and Patrick Forge that filled my ears for a huge period in the 90s. Broadened my musical interest and made me a bit odd in my school friend group as no-one else liked the same stuff although there was occasional crossover. I miss the days of being totally absorbed in music!

 

[bellaozzydog]

Dropped the app on the phone and thoroughly fucking enjoying the Charlie bones breakfast show

that’s 6 music fucked right off

genuinely gave me a good warm vibe rather than the painfully verbose Lauren Laverne punctuated hourly by BBC propaganda

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Have listened to a bit of Charlie Bones. He was playing some nice d'n'b the other day, but his patter is terrible (so not any better than 6 Music IMO).

 

[Dom Traynor]

Wow brilliant never heard of it before. Thanks for the recommendation. That's this weekend sorted.

The call in bits are naff but I kinda like his patter, he's got that carefree meandering vibe. He's also self deprecating which I like, djs on radio can be super up themselves

 

[Orang Utan]

This show might interest folk on here as it's described as 'harshly metallic noise rock, unhinged post-punk, chillingly minimal synth, breakbeat rave and pervy wedding disco":

Sacred Pools w/ DJ OCTOBER, FASO + TOSHIKI OHTA

Sacred Pools is a monthly show, rotating between DJ October, Faso and Toshiki Ohta. All three hosts showcase a varied and intriguing combination of music on the Sacred Pools show - from harshly metallic noise rock, unhinged post-punk, chillingly minimal synth, breakbeat rave and pervy wedding disco.

Been really enjoying the music on NTS1 this morning, but then the host just came out with

"Fuck nations, fuck borders, it's all bullshit anyway"

Won't get that on 6Music at 10:30 on Monday morning

 

[teuchter]

Charlie Bones' last show this morning
