NTS is a music discovery platform,

built by music lovers
for music lovers.

Since 2011, NTS has celebrated music from every corner of the world,

from hip-hop to highlife and jungle to j-pop.

from hip-hop to highlife and jungle to j-pop.

This ever-expanding resource is made possible by a network of artists and DJs who broadcast from over 80 countries – all without on-air advertising.

Beyond online radio, we help our listeners fall in love with music through special broadcasts, international event series, and original video content.

NTS always operates in the best interests of music culture.

We elevate artists on the peripheries through our programming. We always offer fair fees for events, and our resident hosts are paid through the NTS Supporter subscription. We have radio licenses with collection agencies across the world and pay royalties to artists and rightsholders for all the music aired on the platform.

We have and always will prioritise human curation over algorithmic recommendations. We also believe in freedom of expression, and will never tell radio hosts what they can play or say on NTS.
